[0034] Any moxibustion device which can be commercially available can be used in the above cauterizing method.

[0035] The moxibustion device is basically consisted of a body and air blower, and it can further comprise an assistant device which is used to direct attach to an outlet such as a narrow part, an assistant device which is used on a part that the outlet part can not directly attach, such as an inside of the human body, and smoke control hose discharging smoke.

[0036] The basic method for using the above mixibustion device is well known in the art, but is preferably as follows:

[0037] 1) Connecting the air blower to the body.

[0038] 2) Opening the outer cover and then the inner cover.

[0039] 3) Putting about 6 g of Mug-wort (small egg size, an amount of 25˜35 minutes of moxibustion) into the inner container and then lighting a fire on Mog-wort.

[0040] 4) When the Mog-wort is sufficiently burned by the fire (1˜2 minutes), closing the inner cover and then the outer cover.

[0041] 5) After cauterizing with pressing the air blower more fast, when an exhaust heat is hot, the cauterization is practiced with controlling heat temperature by pressing the air blower slowly.

[0042] In this case, any Mug-wort which can be commercially available can be used, and preferably middle grade Gangwha-mugwort (Artemisia princeps) of Korean is used.

[0043] Gangwha-mugwort comprises various physiologically active ingredients including flavonoid such as qupatilin, jaceosidin, etc., phenylpropanoid such as sesamin, etc. Gangwha-mugwort has an efficiency regarding the prevention and treatment for various diseases in terms of effective, and has an efficiency in inhibiting a hyperfunction such as odynolysis, sedation, determent, etc through the inhibitive action in terms of function.

[0044] The above cauterizing method is based on that the purified Mug-wort is put in the moxibustion device and the smoke of the Mug-wort is passed through acupunture points of the human body or pores around it to circulate gi.

[0045] Since the above cauterizing method uses the moxibustion device, when the moxibustion device is put on the parts which are estimated as being acupuncture points, a point of acupuncture points can be included in the circular border of the moxibustion device, and thus there is an advantage that the above cauterizing method can be easily practiced without professionalism that acupuncture points has to be exactly discovered.

[0046] The above cauterizing method is characterized in cauterizing acupuncture points of Conception vessel (front of the human body, FIG. 1) and acupuncture points of Governor vessel (back of the human body, FIG. 2). In particular, the method is principally based on cauterizing from upward to downward, simultaneously with from left to right, along the order of the location of acupuncture points. Each acupuncture points of the human body as described in the above cauterizing method is depicted in FIGS. 1 and 2.

[0047] Preferably, acupuncture points to be cauterized according to the present invention are as follows:

[0049] Taechu (No. 23): 1 chon superior to the first thoracic vertebra; bifurcation of the nerve

[0050] Shinju (No. 35): the concave part inferior to the third thoracic vertebra

[0051] Pyesu (No. 25): 1.5 chon bilateral to the inferior border of the third thoracic vertebra

[0052] Kohwang (No. 24): 3 chon bilateral to the inferior border of the fourth thoracic vertebra

[0053] Simsu (No. 26): 1.5 chon bilateral to the inferior border of the fifth thoracic vertebra

[0054] Kansu (No. 27): 1.5 chon bilateral to the inferior border of the ninth thoracic vertebra

[0055] Pisu (No. 28): 1.5 chon bilateral to the inferior border of the eleventh thoracic vertebra

[0056] Sinsu (No. 29): 1.5 chon bilateral to the inferior border of the second lumbar vertebra

[0057] Myungmun (No. 30): the median part inferior to the second lumbar vertebra

[0058] Yang-gwan (No. 31): 2 chon inferior to Myungmun

[0059] Yosu (No. 32): 3 chon inferior to Myungmun

[0063] Bijung (No. 10): 3 chon inferior to the centre of the nipple, and 2 chon bilateral to the anterior median line

[0064] Junjung (Junjung): the intersection of the inter-nipple line and the anterior median line

[0065] Simkweol (No. 3): the central part between the end of the solar plexus and the centre of the umbilicus

[0066] Wijung (No. 2): the central part between the end of the solar plexus and the centre of the umbilicus

[0067] Jejung (No. 1): the centre of the umbilicus

[0068] Kihae (No. 4): 1.5 chon inferior to the centre of the umbilicus

[0069] Danjeon (No. 6): 3 chon inferior to the centre of the umbilicus

[0070] Chok-samri (No. 16): 3 chon inferior to the patella

[0071] Yongcheon (No. 19): the concave part antero-inferior to the sole; the junction between the great and the second toes, which is exhibited in a shape of Chinese Letter A when the toes are flexed

[0072] Wherein, the term ‘chon’ which is a basis for measuring acupuncture point locations is based on a finger joint of the cauterizing person.

[0073] The above cauterizing method is to locate the acupuncture point, which is out of position due to a usual wrong habitual behavior or overuse of the special parts of the body, to the regular position. That is, the above cauterizing method is to locate the vertebrae in position.

[0074] In the cauterizing method of the present invention, only the above acupuncture points are not acupuncture points for improving the circulation of gi • acupoints.

[0075] The cauterizing method of the present invention is preferably performed after allowing a person to meditate and breathe comfortably by crossing the legs in full or half lotus posture before practicing it. The full-lotus or half-lotus posture is to stand a waist straightly, thereby obtaining the desirable effect for strengthening the circulation of gi • acupoints according to the cauterizing method of the present invention.

[0076] In the above cauterizing method, when the cauterization is performed on acupuncture points of governor vessel, the half-lotus posture is preferable. When the cauterization is performed on acupuncture points of conception vessel, it is preferable that the half-lotus posture, or the lying posture with taking the posture that heels of the feet pull outwards and the toe parts draw forward to the body under the situation that a non-high pillow is used and both soles of feet are extended straightly with drawing a chin forward to the body, is held.

[0077] When cauterizing on Chok-samri (No. 16) acupuncture point in 9) of the cauterizing method, it is preferable that the cauterizing is performed in the posture of the corresponding leg is stood.

[0078] When cauterizing on Yongcheon (No. 19) acupuncture point in 9) and 14) of the cauterizing method, it is preferable to take the posture wherein heels of feet pull outwards and the toe parts draw forward to the body under the situation that both feet are extended straightly.

[0079] The above cauterizing method takes a total of 40 minutes to 45 minutes, and is preferable to be performed within 2 hours a day.

[0080] Preferably, at first the cauterization is performed over 30 seconds to 1 minute per one acupuncture point. When the heating power of the fire of Mug-wort is stronger, the cauterization is performed within 30 seconds, preferably over 10 to 20 seconds. When the heating power of the fire of Mug-wort is stronger, the cauterization is performed over 1 to 3 seconds per one acupuncture point. If the fire of Mug-wort is remained after completing all of the cauterizing methods, above steps can be repeated from the first.

[0081] Each cauterizing is usually performed until feeling hot for each of acupuncture points and meridian, and in the case of the first cauterizing, 30 seconds to 1 minute per acupuncture points is proper since the hot feeling is not felt immediately.

[0082] When a pain such as tingling sensation on feet etc. is felt during the cauterizing method of the present invention, full-lotus or half-lotus posture is held again by changing both legs. Nevertheless, if the pain is not relived, the pain can be relieved by cauterizing on Yoncheon (No. 19) acupuncture point or Jang-gang (No. 33) acupuncture point of tingled feet.

[0083] During the cauterization, the person to be cauterized should pay attention not to raise his (her) chin above or not to twist his (her) body so as to effectively make the circulation of gi • acupoints.

[0084] It is preferable that drinking or intaking of meats (chicken, pork, duck meat, etc.) is abstained, and non-smoking and abstinence are made. In addition, it should take notice that the cauterizing method of the present invention is not to be performed on a patient with cancer or a pregnant woman.

[0085] The condition that the circulation of gi • acupoints is strengthened means that the verterbrate of the human body is returned in position with extending it straightly, and the above main acupuncture points and meridian are restored the original right circulation route.

[0086] Such condition that the circulation of gi • acupoints is strengthened can be noticed from feelings that pores of the skin is evidently wide-open, sweat comes out in hands and feet, the whole body is warm, the skin is moist, eyes light up, the head is clear, an appetite becomes good, sweat comes out under the arm, and the like.

[0087] Preferably, the condition that the circulation of gi • acupoints is strengthened can be identified by the visual check for that a material with a elastic round shape in collagen form is protruded in the posterior hairline of Taechu acupuncture point (No. 23)

[0088] The condition that the circulation of gi • acupoints is strengthened could be varied depending on the bodily constitution, but it could be identified within at least 1˜3 days after performing the cauterizing method of the present invention, and its effect was lasted for a long time (several days˜dozens of days).

[0089] The cauterizing method of the present invention is for relieving pain, preferably backache and all sorts of pain, and for alleviating hypertension.
