2. Description of the Related Art Moxibustion is used for the treatment of diseases and maintenance of health by means of certain biological reactions that accompany thermal stimuli, that is, serum immune reactions of burns caused by nerve reflexes and heat, as well as the action of active ingredients peculiar to the bark. It is said to be effective. As moxibustion, there are known moxibustion moxibustion that causes small burns by burning the mite on the acupuncture points of the skin, and trace moxibustion that gives thermal stimulation without leaving a mark on the skin or tissue, and is generally known. Has been widely practiced since ancient times.

[0003]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] By the way, there are innumerable acupuncture points on the human body (it is said that the acupuncture points have 360 regular holes and 150 odd holes). It can be done by standing up to one point or only one point at a time, and it can be done repeatedly in the same acupuncture point (usually 3 to 5 times). Moreover, it is inefficient, and because it burns the bark on the acupuncture points of the skin, it is a very effective treatment depending on the type and condition of the disease, but it does not move until the barb burns, and it requires patience for burning. is there. Therefore, the applicant of the present invention paid attention to the fact that the effect similar to the warm moxibustion effect can be obtained even if the body is exposed to the warm smoke generated when the abacus is burned. Has developed a completely different moxibustion device (Shokaihei 4-7842). The present invention was created by further research, and is intended to provide a moxibustion device that can be easily used on a daily basis at home, is highly safe, and has an extremely high therapeutic effect. .

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems] The moxibustion device according to the present invention comprises:
It was created based on the actual situation as described above, and the herb such as an ignited barb is stored and held inside the box body having the openings on the top and bottom surfaces and the plurality of ventilation holes on the side surface. A concave combustion holder is provided with an open upper surface, a safety plate is located below the combustion holder to cover the combustion holder from below in the box body, and an upper lid that closes the upper and lower openings of the box body. The main features are that the lower lid and the lower lid are detachably provided, and the inner lid is provided on the back side of the upper lid so as to close the upper opening of the combustion holder.

[0005]

[Function] The box body has an upper lid and a lower lid that can be separated independently, and the inner lid is integrally attached to the back side of the upper lid, so the combustion holder can be easily opened, and medicinal plants such as barbs can be easily attached. It can be put in and easily cleaned. If you remove the upper lid, place your hands, arms, or feet freely on the top of the box to expose it to warm smoke.If you remove only the lower lid, hold the box in your hand and apply the lower opening to the affected area. Since warm smoke is exposed from the bottom of the insulator, it is possible to treat easily without being restricted in body posture.
At this time, the upper lid is fixed to the box body, and the opening on the upper surface of the combustion holder in the box body is closed by the inner lid, so no matter how the box body is used, the medicinal herbs such as barbs are removed from the combustion holder. It does not leak and the moxibustion device can be used safely. Also, since the combustion holder is supported in the hollow inside of the box apart from the inner surface of the box, the space between the inner surface of the box and the combustion holder serves as a passage for air supply and warm smoke. Has good combustion and generation of warm smoke,
In addition, the generated warm smoke efficiently discharges after it stays inside the box, so that it effectively acts on the affected area. Further, in any of the above cases, even if the opening of the box is closed by the body, the ventilation holes on the side of the box provide air supply and warm smoke exhaust circulation, so the medicinal herbs such as lit barley will be the last. Can keep burning until the fire goes out.

It is also possible to attach two removable support legs 24 to the left and right or front and back.

The shape of the box body 1 and the combustion holder 10 is not limited to the above, and may be an appropriate shape such as a circle or an ellipse in plan view. In addition, since the hot moxibustion device according to the present invention obtains a hot moxibustion effect by using hot smoke, not only the barb but also other herbs can be used as the hot smoke source.

When the moxibustion machine A of the present invention is used in the above configuration, when the upper lid 7 is first removed, the inner lid 16 is integrally attached to the back side of the upper lid 7, so that the combustion holder 17 is opened. It can be opened immediately without any trouble. Therefore, the medicinal herbs B such as ignited barley are placed on the combustion holder 10 and used as the moxibustion device A. First, when only the upper lid 7 is removed and used, the box body 1 is placed on a desk, a chair, a floor or the like that can obtain an appropriate height according to a body posture such as a sitting position or a recumbent position, and hands, elbows and arms. Box 1 for the affected area (acupuncture point) such as feet and soles
The hot smoke can be easily treated by freely placing the hot smoke D generated in the box 1 on the pot and placing it on the upper opening 2 (see FIG. 3).

Next, when only the lower lid 8 is removed and used with the upper lid 7 closed, the box body 1 is held in the hand and the lower opening 3 is desired for each part of the body such as the head, abdomen, back and limbs. The warm smoke D is applied to the affected part (pot) from the lower opening 3. At this time, since the opening 15 of the combustion holder 10 in the box 1 is closed by the inner lid 16 provided on the back surface side of the upper lid 7, even if the box 1 is tilted or inverted, a medicinal herb such as a barb. B does not leak from the gauge 17, and even if a convex part such as a shoulder or an elbow of the body fits into the box body 1 through the lower opening 3 during treatment, it does not fall below the combustion holder 10. The safety plate 14 provided at the separated position can prevent contact with the combustion holder 10 heated by the combustion of the medicinal herbs B such as a barb, so that no burns will occur and the body part will be kept in any posture. The moxibustion device A can be safely used without any choice. Furthermore, even if ash or a deformed barb leaks outward from the gap of the gauge 17, it is received by the safety plate 14, so that it will not fall directly onto the body or the futon (see FIG. 4).

Further, in any of the above cases, even if the openings 2 and 3 of the box body 1 are closed by the body, a plurality of ventilation holes 5 provided in the side surface 4 of the box body 1 are used to supply air and to supply warm smoke D. Exhaust gas is circulated, and even if the box 1 is turned over with the upper lid 7 closed, the entire surface of the gauge 17 is highly breathable.
The medicinal herb B, such as an abacus that has been ignited, can keep burning without extinguishing the fire.

When the upper lid 7 is fixed to the box body 1, no matter how the moxibustion instrument A is tilted and used, the gauge 17 is vertically integrated and holds the medicinal herbs B such as barbs. The medicinal herb B does not spill and the fire does not burn to the box 1 or the surrounding articles, and since the gauge 17 is supported in the hollow C inside the box 1 away from the inner surface of the box 1, the side surface 4 In combination with the ventilation holes 5 of the box 1, the space C between the inner surface of the box body 1 and the gauge 17 serves as a passage for the air supply and the warm smoke D, so that the herb B such as a barb burns and generates the warm smoke D. Is always well done. Further, since the warm smoke D is discharged after staying in the box body 1, the box body 1 acts as a reservoir for the warm smoke D generated from the gauge 17 to efficiently apply the warm smoke D to the affected part.

Further, as shown in FIG. 3, a band 19 is separately provided on the box body 6, and the band 19 fixes and fixes the moxibustion device A to a predetermined part of the body, so that there is no restriction of the action during the treatment and the moxibustion device Since it is not necessary to hold A in the hand, the hand does not get tired and the hand can be used freely during treatment.

[0016]

[Effect of the Invention] Since the moxibustion device according to the present invention is configured as described above, unlike the conventional moxibustion moxibustion, the entire affected area corresponding to the opening of the box is moxibustion heated with warm smoke, so it is troublesome to find an acupoint. It is possible to treat multiple acupoints at the same time without any need, and it is not hot because it is heated by warm smoke. By exposing warm smoke of moderate temperature due to the burning of medicinal herb B such as the agate, each part of the body is comfortably stimulated and the mood refreshes By using it, you can keep a healthy condition without knowing it. In addition, not only can you treat alone without the help of another person, but by using a larger barb, not only can you treat continuously for a long time,
Unlike the conventional moxibustion device using warm smoke, it is made small and lightweight, and it is possible to efficiently treat any desired body part. Moreover, since the inner lid is integrally attached to the back side of the upper lid, the upper side of the combustion holder is opened at the same time when the upper lid is removed, and it is possible to easily put herbs such as barbs and clean it easily.

With the upper lid removed, limbs and the like can be freely placed on the upper opening of the box for easy treatment.
With only the upper lid fixed, the lower opening of the box can be easily applied to the affected part (acupoint) with one hand, and the treatment can be performed easily without selecting a body part in a free posture. At that time, since the upper opening of the combustion holder is closed by the inner lid, even if the box body is tilted or inverted, herbs such as barbs may leak from the combustion holder and burn the interior of the box body and the surrounding vessels, Also, it does not injure the body.

Further, since the safety plate provided below the combustion holder prevents the body from directly touching the combustion holder heated by the combustion of the barb or the like, the protrusion of the body such as the shoulder or elbow is accidentally touched. You can safely use the moxibustion device without getting burned even if you put it in the lower opening, and it is safe even if ash or deformed hump leaks out from the gap of the combustion holder. Since it is received by the plate, it can be prevented from falling on the body or a futon as it is.

Furthermore, since the combustion holder is supported in the hollow of the box body without touching the inner surface of the box body, the space between the box body and the combustion holder is supplied with air in combination with the ventilation holes on the side surface. Since it circulates the ventilation of warm smoke, once the medicinal plants such as barley are ignited, the combustion action of the barb etc. lasts satisfactorily until the end, during which hot smoke can be generated continuously, and the box body Even if the opening is closed by the body during the treatment, the side vents can maintain the combustion of the barb and the like. Furthermore, since the space inside the box acts as a reservoir for the hot smoke generated from the combustion holder, the hot smoke is efficiently applied to the affected area, and the therapeutic effect is further enhanced. As described above, according to the present invention, warm smoke treatment can be carried out easily, safely, and efficiently at home, on a daily basis.
