[0001] Electric moxibustion apparatus [0002]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an electronic moxibustion device, and more particularly, to an electronic moxibustion device which is easy to carry and can be easily and optimally applied to a moxibustion.

"Moxibustion" refers to the stimulation of burning moxibustion in the meridians, hemorrhoids, or sore areas flowing on the surface of a person's body, and by applying warmth to the meridians, the blood circulation is smoothly controlled, It is a traditional therapy to achieve the purpose of prevention and treatment.

In the conventional moxa treatment apparatus, it is difficult to control the temperature by burning mugwort so that the temperature thereof is difficult to control, and there is a problem that burns after irrigation treatment to cause irreversible skin damage. In addition, in the case of traditional moxibustion, smoke is generated by burning the medicinal materials such as mugwort, and the fine particles in the smoke may stimulate the lungs to cause coughing or allergy, which is a cause of soot. Recently, a device (Korean Utility Model Registration No. 20-0443075) for purifying smoke generated in the treatment of traditional moxibustion has been invented.

'Moxibustion' should be coordinated with the temperature of the site of action and the duration of the action, the treatment effect. Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 2013-0095497 discloses a wireless rechargeable electronic moxibustion therapy device. However, as a patient who is not skilled in moxibustion because it is merely an electronic heat-applying device, how to control the temperature of the moxibustion, I do not know if I will.
