Abstract
This disclosure relates to a moxa treatment device which can be placed stabily on the surface of an affected part of a patient, requiring no adjustment of the ignited portion, and can efficiently concentrate the heat from the heat generating block towards the affected part over a long time, thus having a high heat efficiency. The device is provided with a hollow frustum of a cone or pyramid having a top opening and a bottom opening, a heat generating block installed inside the frustum of cone or pyramid, and a cover mounted on said top opening in such a way that the cover can be opened or closed as desired. Said heat generating block is comprised of a porous heat generator supporting block mounted near the top opening of said frustum of cone or pyramid and of a heat generator loaded in the supporting block.
