The implementation of the drug-pad moxibustion cauterizer with the single heating-pad and the multiple heating-pad

A conventional direct moxibustion remedy for medical treatment has used a number of moxa lumps for patient surgical operation. The moxibustion remedy is one of the most important treatments in oriental medicine. Many diseases have been cured by improvement of circulation of the blood due to pharmacological effect of moxa and the thermal effect of moxibustion remedy. However, such a remedy has problems in operating the moxibustion and causes the risk of burn. In order to get rid of these problems we have suggested the drug-pad moxibustion cauterizer. We have researched the effect on body heat generation by the drug-pad moxibustion cauterizer. The experimental demonstrations have been made by stimulating the spot CV12 (Jung-Wan) acupuncture point of the conception vessel meridian (CV). Stimulation time was one hour with drug-pad moxibustion cauterizer of the multiple heating-pad. At the same time the other subjects have been the spots CV4 (Kwan-Won), CV8 (Shin-Guel), CV12 (Jung-Wan) acupuncture points of the conception vessel meridian (CV) and stimulation time was one hour with drug-pad moxibustion cauterizer of the single heating-pad. The third subjects have been stimulated by only drug (the moxa lotion), and the fourth subjects have been stimulated by only thermo-remedy. In the different cases, we have measured the body heat in prestimulation, just after stimulation, 2 hours after, 4 hours after, and 6 hours after. In the conclusion, we have evaluated the efficiency of the drug-pad moxibustion cauterizer
