When the needle is horizontally applied to the affected part, the needle is bent when the conventional moxibustion heater is inserted in the protruding part of the needle. There is a disadvantage in that it can not be installed at all for the needle immediately detached and inserted in the reverse direction.

In addition, the moxibustion heating element must be installed after the needle is first placed on the patient, and the moxibustion heating element must be dismantled first from the needle when the needle is to be removed from the patient. Therefore, if you want to continue the moxibustion treatment for a certain time to the affected area after the needle was removed, discomfort moxibustion treatment heat dissipator from the needle and then to remove the needle and place the needle to remove the moxibustion treatment inconvenience have.
