Heat patch for improving the effect of herbal treatment {HEAT PATCH FOR ORIENTAL MEDICINE}

The present invention relates to a thermal patch for improving the effect of the herbal treatment, more specifically, it is possible to simply and conveniently perform the herbal moxibustion therapy and thermal acupuncture therapy, it is possible to control the temperature and time of the thermal stimulation The present invention relates to a thermal patch for improving the effectiveness of an herbal treatment that can safely apply thermal stimulation without damaging skin.

In general, in Chinese medicine, a procedure for plugging or stimulating acupuncture or moxibustion into acupuncture points is widely used for the treatment or prevention of diseases.

Moxibustion therapy is a method of oriental medicine that heats the skin of acupuncture points, and is widely used in the private sector as well as in professional medical institutions such as oriental medicine.

In recent years, the thermal acupuncture therapy that improves the therapeutic effect by using heat stimulation generated by moxibustion in parallel with acupuncture has been widely practiced.

Such warm acupuncture therapy is mostly performed by applying heat to the saliva while the end of the saliva is plugged into the acupuncture points of the human body, etc., and is being used for various treatments in a manner that promotes blood donation in acupuncture points. In particular, where there is no blood circulation, such as joints, body temperature is easily lowered, causing pain and the like, and diseases such as arthritis occur, and thus, acupuncture is widely applied.

However, the conventional thermal needle or moxibustion therapy is prepared by the moxibustion rod is combined separately to the end of the saliva, and by burning the moxibustion rod to burn the saliva so that both the operator and the patient is uncomfortable due to the smoke generated when the moxibustion rod is burned, Since the heating temperature cannot be controlled when the rod is burned, there is a problem of being easily burned.

In addition, the moxibustion rod has to be reloaded when the combustion is completed. Since the skin heated by the moxibustion rod is in a damaged state to some extent, it is difficult to continuously apply the thermal stimulus for a long time. In addition, the moxibustion rod is left uncombusted after the procedure, so a separate washing operation is required, and there is inconvenience associated with the after-treatment.

The present invention is conceived to solve the conventional problems as described above, it is an object of the present invention to provide a warm patch for improving the effect of the herbal treatment to be able to simply and conveniently perform the herbal moxibustion therapy or thermal acupuncture therapy .

Another object of the present invention is to provide a thermal patch for improving the effect of the herbal treatment that can control the temperature and time of the thermal stimulation and can safely apply thermal stimulation without damaging the skin.

The thermal patch for improving the effect of the herbal treatment for achieving the object of the present invention as described above, in the thermal patch configured to be heated by the power applied from the power supply, the patch body which is in contact with the skin; A patch heating element disposed on the patch body and heated by an applied power; And a power supply cable electrically connected between the power supply unit and the patch heating element so as to supply power to the patch heating element, and the needle is passed through and inserted into the patch body while the patch body is seated on the skin. It characterized in that it further comprises a needle insertion hole formed through, through the patch body to perform the therapy.

The thermal patch for improving the effect of the herbal treatment for achieving the object of the present invention as described above, in the thermal patch configured to be heated by the power applied from the power supply, the patch body which is in contact with the skin; A patch heating element disposed on the patch body and heated by an applied power; And a power supply cable electrically connected between the power supply unit and the patch heating element so as to supply power to the patch heating element, and the needle passes through the skin side while the patch body is seated on the skin. Acupuncture insertion hole formed through the patch body to perform the therapy; A needle support protruding upward from the circumference of the needle insertion hole and having a fitting hole penetrated therein to allow the needle to pass therethrough; And a needle heating element which is disposed inside the needle supporter and heats the needle inserted into the fitting hole while being heated by the power applied from the power supply cable.

In the patch heating element and the needle heating element, a single heating line may be disposed or configured on the patch body and the needle supporter, or two heating lines may be separately arranged and configured on the patch body and the needle supporter.

And, the immersion support may be configured to be separated from the patch body.

In addition, an injection hole for injecting the injection into the patch body may be formed.

The patch body may be formed of a suction pad which is curved and formed in an arc shape by a material having flexibility to be adsorbed upon pressurization.

On the other hand, a plurality of protrusions protrude around the bottom edge of the patch body may be configured to ensure breathability through a flow hole formed between the protrusions.

An adhesive part in contact with the skin may be formed around the bottom edge of the patch body.

Then, a solid or liquid pharmaceutical layer may be formed on the bottom surface of the patch body in contact with the skin.

At this time, the separation protrusion may protrude on the bottom surface of the patch body so that the receiving groove for receiving the drug layer is formed.

In addition, the patch body may be further provided with a temperature sensing unit for sensing the heating temperature.

According to the thermal patch for improving the effect of the herbal treatment according to the present invention as described above, since the skin can be heated using electricity, the effect of simply and conveniently performing moxibustion or thermal acupuncture without special and difficult preparation There is.

In addition, by controlling the amount of supply and the supply time of the power supply, the temperature and use time of the thermal stimulation can be easily set or changed and used conveniently. .

In addition, since the thermal patch is not heated by direct combustion, there is convenience in use that does not require a separate washing operation such as inconvenience in use by smoke or removal of combustion residues.
