We have suggested the moxa-pad cauterizer especially for knee arthralgia. We have researched the variation on knee heat generating by the moxa-pad moxibustion cauterizer. The experimental demonstrations have been made by the stimulating the spots which are G-34(Gall-bladder Meridian 34), Sp-9(Spleen Meridian 9), and Liv-3(Liver Meridian 3) acupuncture points. And stimulating time was one hour with moxa-pad cauterizer.

Objectives This study is on the implementation of the electric cauterizer with the hole for acupuncture to achieve the superposition effect of acupuncture-moxibustion therapies. Methods In this paper, we especially made a hole across the heat terminal of the electric cauterizer for acupuncture. Before the cauterization, the doctor treats a patient with needle. And after acupuncture, the heat terminal is to be superposed upon the needle along the hole to add the cauterization. Results There are 2 coupling methods that the heat terminal is to be superposed with the needle; one is the top-coupling and the other is side-coupling. The top-coupling means that the heat terminal is to be superposed upon the needle along the top of the needle, and side-coupling means that the heat terminal is to be superposed to the needle along the side of the needle. Conclusion This study was aimed to implement the electric cauterizer with the hole for acupuncture to achieve the superposition effect of acupuncture-moxibustion therapies. Not electric acupuncture but manual acupuncture is adopted. The electric cauterizer generates the heat $38{\sim}45^{\circ}C$. This heat is safe for skin not to burn. The electric cauterizer constitutes the smokeless moxa- pad which effects the skin DDS.

The conventional direct and indirect moxibustion therapies for prostatism treatment could not been applied to the acupuncture point of CV 1( Conception Vessel Meridian 1) because of its boring body region. In order to get rid of these problems we have suggested the moxa-pad cauterizer especially for prostatism. We have implemented the moxa-pad moxibustion cauterizer especially for the prostatism. The experimental demonstrations have been made by the stimulating the spots which are CV-1(Conception Vessel Meridian 1), B-28(Bladder Meridian 28), and CV-3(Conception Vessel Meridian 3) acupuncture points. And stimulating time was one hour with moxa-pad cauterizer.

This paper is performed to find the effects on body heat by stimulating the skin with the heat of a moxibustion cauterizer and the Artemisia-lotion which cause the extension of the blood vessel. The Artemisia-lotion is made by extracting the vasodilator and antioxidant compounds from the $Artemisia-CH_2Cl_2$ fraction. The moxibustion cauterizer is constructed with a DC power supply and 3 heating electrodes with PTC(Positive Temperature Coefficients) thermistor. The stimulation temperature level of the moxibustion cauterizer is $45^{\circ}C\;-48^{\circ}C$. We gave the subjects the following stimulating conditions; only heat stimulation, only Artemisia -lotion stimulation, and both stimulations. The measurement of body heat was performed with a infrared thermography system . Finally we could estimate the effects of a betterment of circulation of the blood from $Artemisia-CH_2Cl_2$ fraction.

Objectives : The conventional direct and indirect moxibustion therapies for prostate treatment could not been applied to the acupuncture point of $CV_1$(Conception Vessel Meridian 1, 會陰) because of its boring body region. The position of $CV_1$(會陰) is the back side of hard part between the anus and the genital organ. The conventional moxibustion methods have many troubles in operating to the acupuncture point of $CV_1$(會陰). In order to get rid of these problems, we have suggested the special heat generating terminal especially for prostate. The features of the special heat generating terminal for prostate are the low temperature infrared heater and the adhesive moxa-pad. These features are no burnt, no fiery and especially suitable for the point of $CV_1$(會陰). Methods: The heat generating terminal which is a part of the moxa-extract moxibustion cauterizer is composed of a PTC(Positive Temperature Coefficients) ceramic heater and the adhesive moxa-pad We had got the experimental demonstrations by the stimulating the acupuncture points which are $CV_1$(會陰), $BL_{28}$(Bladder Meridian 28, 膀胱兪), and $CV_3$(Conception Vessel Meridian 3, 中極) with the special heat generating terminal for the prostatitis and the benign prosthetic hypertrophy. And the stimulation level was 43$^{\circ}C$ infrared heat for one hour. The type of thermography is IRIS-5000. Results : With one subject suffering the prostatitis and another subject suffering the benign prosthetic hypertrophy, we cauterized the acupuncture points $CV_1$(會陰), $BL_{28}$(膀胱兪) and $CV_3$(中極) with the special heat generating terminal for prostate. We measured the temperature variations by the thermography before and after stimulations. Finally we estimated the tendency of temperature decreasing in the region of post-stroke urinary symptoms and the improvement of nocturnal enuresis after the stimulations. Conclusions : We suggest that the special heat generating terminal of moxa-extract moxibustion cauterizer proposed herein is effective for the treatment of prostate by NIH-CPSI and IPSS.

Conventional direct moxibustion remedy for cancer medical treatment has used a number of moxa lump for a surgical operation of patient However such a remedy has troubles in operating the moxibustion and causes the risk of burn. In order to get rid of the problems we have suggested the multiple heating pad with the Artemisia patch.
