DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to a mugwort moxacautery device and in particular, to a mugwort moxacautery device in which some herbal ingredients contained in a porous plate for herbal medicine and herbal-medicine ring can be deeply permeated into the skin in the midst of a safely-burnt mugwort pole in the moxacautery device and a combustion heat of mugwort pole, thus guaranteeing the safety and remarkable therapeutic effects of the mugwort moxacautery device.
DESCRIPTION OF THE RELATED ART
Conventional mugwort moxacautery devices have a structure to simply manufacture of a mugwort pole for combustion use by compressing the medicinal mugwort fibroid materials. However, these devices have several shortcomings in that a) insufficient oxygen supply around the mugwort pole has failed to gain perfect combustion effects, thus resulting in poor combustion, b) when the mugwort pole is burnt, large amounts of smoke occur and there remains high risk of skin burns owing to excessive heat of combustion during use, and c) poor permeation of the mugwort pole via the skin has not produced satisfactory therapeutic effects.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
To overcome the aforementioned shortcomings that the convention devices face, an object of this invention is to provide a mugwort moxacautery device with greater safety and having remarkable therapeutic effects. The device is formulated in such a structure that a porous plate for herbal medicine and herbal ingredients of herbal-medicine ring are deeply permeated into the skin with a combustion heat, being burnt in the upper part of moxacautery device, while avoiding excessive heat with a skin directly,
Another object of this invention is to provide a mugwort moxacautery device with more safe and remarkable therapeutic effects comprising:
a combustion cup, having appropriate intervals with the side of mugwort pole and thus helping combustion of the mugwort pole, is installed in the upper body of moxacautery device; and
a lower body itself, being combined with the upper body, is formed in such a manner to contain some active ingredients such as ginger, garlic and mugwort in powder form; and
the lower body of moxacautery device is inletted to the upper body within a casing made of silicone rubber or paper so that a medicinal mugwort composition of mugwort pole and herbal medicine composition of lower body are deeply permeated into the skin, in addition to stable formulation of said moxacautery device; and
effective prevention of skin burns associated with heat of moxacautery device during mugwort moxacautery may be available.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
As revealed in FIGS. 1 and 2, the moxacautery device (4) consists of lower body (1), upper body (2) and lid (3), and of mugwort pole (5) and porous plate for herbal medicine (6) and herbal-medicine ring (7) installed into the moxacautery device (4), as shown in FIGS. 3, 4 and 5. An extended nozzle-type of center-empty portion (8) is formed at the center of lower body (1); a center-empty portion (9) is formed at the center of upper body (2) inletted with said lower body (1); a porous plate for herbal medicine (6) and herbal-medicine ring (7) are inserted between the upper part of said center-empty portion (9) and lower body (1); a first netting plate (10) is placed on the upper part of said center-empty portion (9); a mugwort pole (5) is inserted on the netting plate (10); the mugwort pole (5) may
