Description

PORTABLE HOTWAVE MOXIBUSTION EFFECT GENERATOR AND METHOD THEREOF

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to an on-wave moxibustion potency generator and a method of generating the same.

Acupuncture & Moxibustion is an important discipline and therapy in Chinese medicine, and broadly belongs to physiotherapy, the so-called “acupuncture” is acupuncture that stimulates acupuncture points in the human body to stimulate acupuncture points and meridians. It is a method of reaching the therapeutic effect, and "moxibustion" is a treatment method that focuses on the stimulation of warm heat by igniting and burning specially manufactured moxa on acupuncture points of the human body. To promote and cure and prevent disease. Because both acupuncture and moxibustion are fast, accurate, simple and safe, they are already gaining the trust of the medical community and many patients, and are currently used in parallel in the clinic, commonly called acupuncture and moxibustion.

However, with the development of Chinese medicine, the supplementary action of many scientific medical devices, academic theories and techniques, including acupuncture and moxibustion, has been added. For example, electricity, magnetism, lasers, infrared rays, microwaves and the like can all be used to stimulate menstrual blood. In addition, acupuncture and moxibustion have also been developed steadily, such as electroacupuncture, which is a combination therapy of acupuncture and electricity, and a combination of drugs and drugs that are applied to the end of acupuncture needles and inserted into the blood.

In further discussion of the "moxibustion" regimen associated with the present invention, conventional moxibustion therapy involves burning mugwort or specialty drugs on the body surface blood and burning them, thereby heating the skin around the skin to produce hot warmth and drug It is through the action of meridians to produce the effect of treating and preventing the disease.

As a result, it stimulates the skin with heat, causing the patient's skin to become locally reddened and fevered, and sometimes blistering. And the feeling of the skin is constantly working on the nerves, moxibustion can regulate the body's immune regulatory mechanism, thereby acting to treat and prevent disease. Therefore, the following invention has already been disclosed regarding the process of thermally stimulating the skin. In other words, in the "moxibustion" action, the skin usually feels irritated in the initial state, causing a nervous response, thereby reaching the above effect. Over time, however, the skin's nerves gradually slow to this temperature, and the heat moxibustion function is relatively slow. In addition, there is a method of increasing the temperature by continuously increasing the electrical energy in the heat steamer, the problem is that the skin of the human body is limited to have a certain ability to withstand the temperature of the heat steamer, and also some heat steamer The effect of moxibustion was not sufficiently obtained because the temperature was affected by the change of temperature.

In addition, the heat moxibustion is generally installed in a medicinal or physiotherapy device is difficult to carry. For this reason, there is a problem in that the patient is limited in exerting the effect because it cannot be used sufficiently and cannot be used on a daily basis.

By providing the temperature control of the heat generating unit is performed.

In addition, the present invention is to circulate a low calorie to a high calorie, a high calorie again to a low calorie to form a wavy curve, the greatest advantage of this is that it can be applied directly to the painful site immediately and immediately By expanding the pores of the skin, through the blood vessels and improve the blood flow and nutrition of the affected area can promote the growth of tissue and regeneration of damaged tissue. Thus, the effect of fixing both the local and the fundamental can be achieved. In particular, it enables the skin to feel a continuous wave of rising, falling, rising and falling temperatures, thereby stimulating the skin, expanding pores, and improving blood circulation in the affected area through the blood vessels, thereby achieving the effects of moxibustion therapy. have.

In the present invention, the on-wave moxibustion generator can be operated for 10 hours or more by the charging energy of a battery that is generally used, but the exact operating time will be determined by the use environment. Therefore, it is possible to implement a treatment to apply the moxibustion effect slowly for a long time, it is possible to prevent the temperature of the part in contact with the skin to be excessively high has a safety effect.

More importantly, according to the principle of Chinese medicine, most of the pain comes from blocked blood. Moxibustion therapy is a kind of Chinese medicine treatment that warms the meridians, removes chills, improves blood circulation and enriches the nutrients. The application of moxibustion on the affected area and the corresponding blood can improve local neurotrophic conditions, the treatment being direct, effective, free of side effects, comfortable to apply, and affordable. Because of this, <emperoral bore >> is also described as "moxibustion therapy can not be treated with acupuncture."
