Abstract:
An apparatus for electrical moxibustion using pharmaceutical Moxa extract comprising:heating means for generating heat at a certain temperature when power is applied thereto;fixing means for fixing and supporting the heating means, the fixing means having first heat-transferring media for transferring heat from the heating means to skin indirectly and a fixing plate for electrically connecting a lead wire, used for applying power to the heating means;adiabatic means for preventing heat of the heating means from being dispersed to upper and side directions, the adiabatic means forming a housing surrounding all upper and side portions of the heating means and the fixing means; andmoxibustion pad means containing the pharmaceutical Moxa extract and being removably mounted to the fixing means, the pad means being indirectly heated by heat transferred from the heating means through the first heat-transferring media, the pad means having a synthetic resin pad in a certain area for covering the affected part and second heat transferring media, which is removably fixed to the first heat-transferring media and a liquid permeable membrane having a characteristic of penetrating liquid therethrough under the synthetic resin pad in order to inject pharmaceutical Moxa extract; and further wherein,first button contact means is formed on a center portion of the first heat-transferring media for the purpose of attachment and detachment with the removable moxibustion pad means, and through holes are formed on the heating means and the fixing plate, respectively, in order to guide the first button contact means.
