A conventional direct moxibustion remedy for medical treatment has used a number of moxa lump for a surgical operation of patient. The moxibustion remedy is one of the most important treatments in the oriental medicine. Many diseases have been gotten well by improvement of circulation of the blood due to pharmacological effect of moxa and the thermal effect of moxibustion remedy. However, such a remedy has troubles in operating the moxibustion and causes the risk of bum. In order to get rid of these problems we have suggested the drug-pad moxibustoin cauterizer. We have researched the effect on body heat generating by the drug-pad moxibution cauterizer. The experimental demonstrations have been made by the stimulating the spot which is CV12(Jung-Wan) acupuncture point of the conception vessel meridian(CV). And stimulating time was one hour with drug-pad moxibustion cauterizer of the multiple heating-pad. At the same time the other subjects have been stimulated the spot which is CV4(Kwan-Won), CV8(Shin-Guel), CV 12(Jung-Wan) acupuncture points of the conception vessel meridian(CV) and stimulating time was one hour with drug-pad moxiution cauterizer of the single heating-pad. And the third subjects have been stimulated by only drug (the moxa lotion), and the fourth subjects have been stimulated by only thermo- remedy. In the different cases, we have measured the body heat in prestimulation, just after stimulation, 2 hours after, 4 hours after, and 6 hours after. In the conclusion, we have evaluated the efficiency of the drug-pad moxibution cauterizer.
