Description

Electric cauterization apparatus

The present invention relates to an electric moxibustion machine, in particular, by taking into account the various disadvantages of the existing moxibustion method, by implementing a structure of the electric heating method capable of temperature control to significantly improve the environment during the moxibustion procedure by smokeless odorless (odor free) It can be, and the user can be freely adjusted by the desired temperature and the required thermal stimulation time relates to an electric steamer easy to perform the procedure.

In general, acupuncture and moxibustion in the oriental medicine is a very frequent procedure for treating the pain of the patient. The moxibustion treatment is a physical therapy in oriental medicine along with acupuncture, and has been researched and developed in a long tradition and history to this day, and can be called a reasonable oriental medical treatment that coexists with modern western medicine.

Moxibustion is an herbal physiotherapy that corrects the alteration of living organisms by placing wormwood on a specific area on the skin and burning it. It is a unique method of oriental medicine that contributes to the prevention and treatment of diseases by causing a constant biological response by causing the thermal stimulation from the body to the living body.

There are two types of moxibustion methods: oil scars and no scars. Commonly used is the placenta scarlet, the moxibustion is placed directly on the skin and burned to cause a small burn. Its effect can be expected to be obtained by the thermal reflection of the nerve reflection effect and the serum immune effect of the burn. In addition, the scarless bulb is a method of giving a thermal stimulus without leaving a mark on the skin or tissue, and expects the effect of the nerve reflection by the heat action. This method of moxibustion may be performed to prevent burns by slicing thin slices of ginger and garlic between moxa and skin.

This moxibustion of the skin causes heat or heat stimulation to nerves or tissues, causing tension or blood cell changes in the cerebrospinal nerves or autonomic nervous system. In other words, leukocytes start to increase from 2 hours after moxibustion and continue for 48 hours, sometimes remarkably doubled, and have an effect of doubling phagocytosis (食菌 作用), and also increasing red blood cells and platelets. Erythrocytes begin to increase six weeks after shedding and continue for about half a year, with an increase of 20%. In addition, when hemorrhagic disease is not only shortened the blood clotting time by 1/3, but also strengthens immunity.

In addition, moxibustion has excellent effects such as headache, migraine headaches, dysplasia, asthma, chronic gastrointestinal disorder, neuralgia, psoas pain, dysmenorrhea, constant constipation in women.

In addition, moxibustion is very effective in the treatment of blood circulation of the brain and limbs, treatment of various boils and inflammations, skin diseases and the like.

All conventional moxibustion methods are used by grinding the moxa finely. 5 illustrates a typical moxa moxibustion device 130 according to the conventional moxa moxibustion method.

Moxa Cautery Element (130) corresponding to the general indirect sphere is attached to the moxa mugwort 131, which is dried in a cylindrical form by a wrapping paper (132), and the lower portion to support the moxa mug (131) The metal thin plate 133 for transferring the heat generated during combustion of the moxa 131 to the affected part, and the metal thin plate 133 so that the moxa 131 and the metal thin plate 133 can be adhered to the skin of the patient It consists of an adhesive tape 135 attached to the bottom side of the.

In some cases, the metal sheet 133 and the adhesive tape 135 may form a structure capable of somewhat lowering excessive heat transmitted from the moxa 131 through a plurality of layers of laminated sheets 134. .

Moxibustion treatment using the moxa moxibustion device 130 of the above structure, peel off each protective sheet (not shown) covering the adhesive tape 135 of each moxa moxibustion device 130 along the pain area (blood vessel) of the patient After fixing several, each moxibustion (131) is lit by the patient until the moxibustion of the moxa (130) is all burned and made by not stabilizing.

However, in the conventional moxibustion method, the moxibustion not only produces a lot of smoke when the moxibustion is burned, but the smell also reverses, causing considerable discomfort to the patient and the people around during the moxibustion procedure, and black wormwood appears, and arbitrarily adjusts the fever temperature. Because of the lack of heat stimulation, excessive or insufficient heat stimulation may be inappropriate for patients with different symptoms, and there is a risk of causing a wound, purulent growth, and blood pressure rise due to capillary contraction. Since it is difficult to control the time, there was a problem in that the procedure cannot be performed in an optimal state sufficient for the patient.

Moreover, the essence of moxibustion is not the effect of wormwood absorbed by the human body to see the therapeutic effect, but the therapy using heat generated by burning moxibustion of the moxibustion, so to control the exothermic temperature and its duration, It is important.

The present invention has been made in order to solve the above problems, the object of the present invention is to use a moxa odorless smokeless odorless to maintain a comfortable treatment environment, the operator or the person to arbitrarily adjust the fever temperature and its duration It can be used in the optimal condition for patients with different symptoms, and it provides an easy-to-use electric moxibustion that has no risk of causing blood pressure increase or scarring and purulence caused by excessive heat stimulation. .
