Abstract :
This article described the traditional moxibustion therapeutics and its disadvantages, analyzed moxibustion apparatus available on the market, and proposed a new idea of smoke-free moxibustion apparatus based on the mechanism of traditional moxibustion therapeutics and General Morphological Analysis. The new apparatus was designed using oil atomization and electronic temperature control technology and could well simulate the treatment mechanism of traditional moxibustion therapeutics.
