Description

Electric Moxibustion Therapeutic Apparatus with a heater

The present invention relates to an electric moxibustion apparatus incorporating a heating element in direct contact with a human body, and more particularly, indirectly by generating an induction magnetic field by integrating a heating element in one body and applying alternating current or direct current to the heating element. The present invention relates to an electric moxibustion device with a heating element which enables heating or direct heating of a heating element, thereby enabling heat treatment by moxibustion or magnetic field stimulation electrical stimulation.

In general, acupuncture in oriental medicine uses a method of treating or preventing a disease by inserting or stimulating acupuncture or moxibustion into acupuncture points, and in particular, by using heat stimulation generated by moxibustion in combination with acupuncture, The state has acupuncture.

Most of the thermal acupuncture therapy is performed by applying heat to the saliva while the tip of the saliva is plugged into the acupuncture points of the human body, and various therapeutic purposes are used to promote the operation of blood donation in the acupuncture points. In particular, since there is no blood circulation, such as joints, the body temperature is easily lowered, causing pain and the like, and diseases such as arthritis occur. The thermal acupuncture therapy is widely applied to all the treatments to be treated by giving a thermal stimulus with a thermal acupuncture place where there is no blood circulation or stagnant.

Moxibustion therapy, on the other hand, is being used for the same reason as heat acupuncture (invasive method) therapy, but is a non-invasive method to apply heat to the skin of the menstrual blood.

The thermal acupuncture and moxibustion therapy are selectively used according to the treatment purpose and treatment site.

However, the conventional thermal saliva or moxibustion therapy is prepared separately by combining the moxibustion rod and coupled to the distal end of the saliva, and by heating the saliva by burning the moxibustion bar, continuous thermal stimulation is difficult and temperature control is impossible. In addition, since the heat is directly attached to the moxibustion rod, there is a risk of inconvenience and burns caused by smoke. In addition, there is a disadvantage in that the procedure is limited because the procedure is always possible in the vertical state, and there are many inconveniences such as difficulty in treatment after the procedure.

On the other hand, another conventional technique for heat treatment is a high-frequency deep warmer that heats the skin and the core using high-frequency electricity.

In other words, unlike other current types, high-frequency currents that do not stimulate sensory and motor nerves can heat specific areas within body tissues without causing discomfort or muscle contraction in the human body. By raising the temperature of the tissue to promote the function of the cell and increases the blood flow and the like.

However, in the case of using such a high-frequency deep heat heater, the temperature rise range is about 2 ℃ and can be heated up to a depth of 10cm or more, but in principle, the generation of heat is different depending on the tissue composition, the problem that can not control the heating depth have.

Since the DC power source can be controlled, heat stimulation due to moxibustion or the like can be applied to the menstrual blood or affected part even in this case.

In addition, when the coil 210 is formed of a high resistance body, the controller 100 controls the DC power applied from the power supply to the coil at predetermined time intervals, thereby inducing heat generation of the coil and induction generated around the coil. It is also possible to control the temperature of the heat generating member by the magnetic field.
