  • indirect moxibustion for delivering burning moxa through a moxa cup mount is prevalent at present.
  • various types of indirect moxibustion instruments are being developed which can relieve patients suffering and psychological burdens as much as possible and leave no scars.
  • One example of such indirect moxibustion instruments is illustrated in FIG. 1.
  • FIG. 1 is a view showing a configuration of one example of a conventional indirect moxibustion instrument.
  • the conventional indirect moxibustion instrument 10 is configured to conduct indirect moxibustion by inserting a moxa cone mounting plate 14 into a moxibustion container 12 and mounting a moxa cone 16 onto the mounting plate 14 while adjusting the height of the mounting plate 14.
  • the indirect moxibustion instrument 10 of such a structure has a disadvantage in that the moxa resin descends along the moxibustion container together with the heat of the moxa and is adhered to a patient s skin.
  • the present invention has been made in view of the above drawbacks, and it is, therefore, an object of the present invention to provide an indirect moxibustion instrument, which can prevent allergic reactions or itching caused by moxa resin, reduce smoke generation by reburning, and allow anyone to use easily and conveniently because moxa resin does not fall onto the skin at the time of combustion of moxa cone.

  • An indirect moxibustion instrument 50 of the present invention comprises a mount 100 onto which a moxa cone 60 is mounted, and a lid 200, joined to the top of the mount 100, for housing the moxa cone 60.
  • the sides and upper surface of the mount 100 are formed in walls, and the bottom part of a drum portion 110 is opened and the top part thereof is enclosed by a mounting plate portion 120.
  • a mounting groove 130 for mounting the moxa cone 60 is recessed, and at the center of the mounting groove 130, a center hole 132 is perforated. With the center hole 132 as a vertex, four peripheral holes 134 are formed at the mounting groove 130 along the circumference of the center hole 132.
  • the heat of the moxa cone 60 mounted on the mounting groove 130 passes through the center hole 132 formed within the mounting groove 130 and the peripheral holes 134 to reach a user's skin in close contact with the opening side of the bottom part of the mount 100.
  • peripheral holes 134 are illustrated in this embodiment, the number thereof can be changed to two or more which causes no problem in operation.
  • Mounting projections 136 are also protruded around the center hole 132 of the mounting groove 130 so that the bottom surface of the moxa cone 60 mounted on the mounting groove 130 can be spaced a slight gap apart from the surface of the mounting plate portion 120, thereby inducing the moxa cone 60 to burn more smoothly.
  • at least two, preferably, three gripping projections 137 are protruded from recessed sidewalls along the circumferential direction, to thus engage the moxa cone 60 mounted on the mounting groove 130 therewith and firmly grip it.
  • the mount 100 is stepped in a cylindrical shape at a part connecting the mounting plate portion 120 and the drum portion 110, and coupling projections 124 are protruded on the outer circumferential surface of the mounting plate portion 120. These coupling projections 124 are spaced at equal intervals along the outer circumferential surface of the mounting plate portion 120.
  • a discharge opening 112 for discharging out the air inside the moxibustion instrument to the outside is formed.
  • a pair of discharge openings 112 is formed at the left and right sides of the mount 100 respectively, and three or more can be perforated at equal intervals.
  • a pair of left and right handles 140 is prepared so that the user can easily carry the moxibustion instrument.
  • These handles 140 can be formed in various shapes, for example, a cup handle-like shape as in this embodiment, an ear- like shape slightly protruding from the drum portion 110, a rocket wing-like shape, or any other shapes making it easy to grip with hand.
  • the lid 200 has a combustion space prepared therein in a hemispherical shape, and an external air inlet opening 210 formed on the top thereof for intaking external air.
  • the external air inlet opening 210 is designed in a structure that the path becomes narrower as it proceeds inward from the lid 200, and preferably, as shown in FIG. 4, the path is gradually narrowed in a V-shape as it proceeds downward, which thus helps suck air.
  • inlet ridges 220 and 222 are protruded inward as well as outward from the lid 200.
  • the inward inlet ridge 222 are protruded inward from the lid 200 longer than the outward inlet ridge 220, to thus prevent the air rising in the combustion space of the lid 200 from releasing out of the external air inlet opening 210, and at the same time guide it to be supplied to the moxa cone 60.
  • the protrusion length of the inward inlet ridge 222 is preferably two or more times greater than that of the outward inlet ridge 220, more preferably two to four times. Due to the inward inlet ridge 222, the combustion gas circulating along the hemispherical inner walls of the lid 200 is not released out of the external air inlet opening 210, but hits against it and circulated toward the burning moxa cone 60 for reburning.
  • the moxibustion instrument 50 comprising the mount 100 and the lid 200 as described above is preferably made of heat-resistant ceramics, especially, manufactured by blending a variety of raw materials such as loess, gold powder, silver powder, gem powder, elvan, bamboo salt, ceramics, tourmaline, etc. and then baking them into a ceramic.
  • the mount 100 and the lid 200 emit far infrared rays beneficial to a human body towards the skin of the patient because of their material as they are heated.
  • FIG. 5 is a view exemplifying the use state of the indirect moxibustion instrument according to the present invention.
  • the moxa cone 60 is mounted onto the mounting groove 130 of the mount 100, and then the moxa cone 60 is ignited.
  • the moxa cone 60 used for the moxibustion instrument is configured in such a manner that the upper side is formed in a cone shape, and a cavity is hollowed out along the axial line.
  • the bore diameter of the cavity is designed to be smaller than the bore diameter of the lower end of the external air inlet opening 210 but greater than that of the discharge opening 112. This allows the air entering through the external air inlet opening 210 to be sucked into the cavity of the moxa cone 60 and then to be smoothly flowed towards the discharge opening 112.
  • the structure of the moxa cone 60 will be described in more detail later.
  • the tip end of the moxa cone 50 is ignited.
  • the coupling projections 124 and the coupling grooves 230 are engaged with each other to couple the mount 100 and the lid 200, and the moxa cone 60 burns within their internal combustion space.
  • the moxa cone 60 is combusted by the air entering through the external air inlet opening 210 of the lid 200, and its heat descends to the lower space S of the mount 100 via the center hole 132 of the mount 100 and the peripheral holes 134 around it and reaches the skin S of the patient, thereby treating the affected part.
  • Some part of the heat reaching the skin as such is discharged through the discharge openings 112, and the other part thereof reenters the combustion space S within the lid 200 via the flow holes 122, flows along the inner walls of the lid 200, hits against the inward inlet ridges 222, and is supplied to the moxa cone 60 for reburning.
  • the moxibustion instrument 50 has no possibility of adhesion of the moxa resin 70 to the patient's skin, thereby keeping the patient's safe from allergies and itching caused by moxa resin.
  • the moxibustion instrument 50 of the present invention is designed in such a way that the outer end of the external air inlet opening 210 is wide and the inner end thereof is narrow, the cavity 62 of the moxa cone 60 is narrower than the bore diameter of the inner end of the external air inlet opening 210, and the discharge opening 112 is narrower than the cavity 62 of the moxa cone 60.
  • the moxibustion instrument 50 of the present invention is designed such that the path from the air intake to the discharge gets gradually smaller, it can improve the moxibustion effect by smoothly making the intake of external air and the flow of heat within the moxibustion instrument.
  • the indirect moxibustion instrument of the present invention is convenient to use because moxa resin is not put on the skin and it is easy to clean up by being embodied in such a manner that moxa resin generated by the combustion of moxa during cautery treatment does not fall but rises and is adhered to the inner walls of a lid. Accordingly, the moxibustion instrument of the present invention can prevent the user's skin from getting an indirect burn due to moxa resin during moxibustion, and can also allow anyone to use conveniently and safely regardless of place. In particular, the moxibust ion instrument of the invention allows anyone to use at ease without unwillingness by causing no mugwort allergy and itching at all because moxa resin does not fall onto the skin.
  • the external air inlet opening prepared at the top part of the moxibustion instrument becomes narrower as it proceeds inward, and in turn becomes much narrower as it proceeds to the cavity and discharge opening of the moxa cone. That is, the circulation path of the air supplied to outside becomes gradually narrower from the inlet opening to the discharge opening to smoothly make the intake and flow of air.
  • the present invention can provide a strong cautery effect since the moxa cone burns more smoothly.
  • the present invention has the effects of minimizing an external loss of moxa heat and helping reburning to thus generate very little smoke because the moxa cone burns within the hemispherical combustion space formed with a mount and a lid so that the moxa heat is confined within the hemispherical space and circulates towards the skin of the patient.
  • the moxibustion instrument of the present invention allows the heat-resistant radiation of far infrared rays to be kept warmly like a room- heating effect due to the self-heat of the moxibustion instrument that is heated even after the complete combustion of the moxa cone.
  • the moxibustion instrument of the invention can be safely and conveniently carried and positioned to another position by holding the handle prepared at the moxibustion instrument with hands even during the treatment of moxibustion.
  • the moxibustion instrument of the invention is used by coupling the coupling projections and the coupling grooves to each other, with the lid housing the burning moxa cone therein; and the external air inlet opening prepared at the upper part of the lid is narrow and the inlet ridges are protruded inward to function as leakage prevention ridges, so that even if the patient knocks over the moxibustion instrument unconsciously, the moxa cone does not fall out, thereby preventing the risk of burns and fire.
