KR-20260064889-A - The poulticing apparatus for mugwort

Abstract

The present invention relates to a mugwort steam treatment device, comprising a main body of the mugwort steam treatment device, a heating plate that generates heat upon receiving external power, a receiving mesh containing mugwort moxibustion material, a smoke discharge part that discharges a portion of smoke to the outside when the mugwort moxibustion material is burned, upper and lower housings that accommodate the main body, and an upper cover formed with a cut section, thereby enabling steam treatment through mugwort fumigation, preventing fumigation from leaking out to the outside, and preventing excessive fumigation from being discharged to the treatment area. Furthermore, by installing a temperature controller within the steam treatment device in conjunction with the heating plate, and by installing the heating plate in conjunction with a temperature sensor and a switch, temperature control is easy and burns and fires can be prevented. Additionally, by including support legs, the device makes it easy to perform not only steam treatment through mugwort fumigation but also sitz bath steam treatment by placing it on body parts such as the abdomen and waist.

Description

The poulticing apparatus for mugwort The present invention relates to a mugwort steam treatment device, wherein the mugwort steam treatment device can be placed on body parts such as the abdomen and waist to enable steam treatment and sitz baths through mugwort fumigation, the temperature can be easily controlled, and a temperature sensor is installed to prevent burns and fires. Generally, mugwort is a perennial herb that grows to about 1 meter in height in sunny areas; it is covered in cobweb-like hairs, and its underground stems spread horizontally. Mugwort has long been known as a health food, and under the herbal name 'Aeyeop,' it has been used for various purposes, both culinary and medicinal, since ancient times. According to the *Donguibogam* (a classic Korean medical text), mugwort possesses a warm nature and is described as beneficial for treating abdominal pain by strengthening the functions of the stomach, liver, and kidneys. Furthermore, mugwort contains a large amount of beneficial components; it is effective for purifying the blood, improving blood circulation, and providing antibacterial, analgesic, and anti-inflammatory effects. It also has excellent effects on gynecological diseases, such as coldness, leukorrhea, and menstrual cramps, by warming the uterus. Mugwort is particularly widely used for moxibustion, and by applying it directly to the body or placing it on a specific device, one can warm the body and boost internal immunity. Therefore, recently, many moxibustion devices have been developed to make it easy to use moxibustion at home. Patent Document 1 relates to a moxibustion device combined with a sitz bath, wherein a moxibustion container is installed inside a moxibustion jar and covered with a support cover so that moxibustion and sitz baths can be performed together through the heat emitted from the hole at the bottom of the moxibustion jar. Patent Document 2 relates to a moxibustion device combined with a sitz bath that has excellent treatment efficiency. It allows moxibustion treatment to be performed by installing a moxibustion mesh in a lower container and covering it with an upper container, thereby effectively stimulating the treatment area through a heat source and active ingredients emitted from the lower container, and enables moxibustion treatment and sitz bath treatment to be performed together through a single device. Patent Document 3 relates to a heat-retaining electric heating pad with a fumigation function using minerals and plants, comprising a main body, a heating element installed inside the main body to generate heat, a temperature overheating prevention member to prevent overheating of the heating element, a supply material contained in the main body, and a protective cover surrounding the main body, thereby enabling the performance of a heating pad function through heat, as well as a fragrance emission function and a fumigation function. However, Patent Documents 1 and 2 are not equipped with safety devices such as temperature-sensing sensors, so there is a risk of burns or fire when overheated, and the fumigation is emitted through the lower hole of the lower case where the moxibustion is installed, so the fumigation is not concentrated on the area to be treated and there is a problem with a large amount of fumigation being emitted to the outside. In addition, Patent Document 3 has a problem in that it is difficult to control the temperature, as it is a method of accumulating a specific range of temperature internally using a heat storage method.
