Abstract

In order to get the basic data for the study of the heat stimulation of burning moxa, the pattern of combustion temperature, which is one of the important factors of thermal characteristics, was measured by density of cone moxa along the time procedure. The following results have been obtained 1) The pattern of combustion temperature by moxa burning was classified into input period which means the infiltration of heat into the area and output period which means the radiation of heat from the area. The input period consists of preheating and heating periods, while the output period consists of heat retaining and cooling periods. 2) The pattern of combustion temperature showed the same type or curve, which was not influenced by the moxa weight. However, Its pattern gradient are varied by density. It is considered that the pattern of combution temperature is primarily influenced by the rate of combustion temperature, gradient temperature and duration of combustion.
