  • Patent number: 4203438
    Abstract: A moxa burner comprises inner and outer tubular housings. Helical grooves within one of the housings and vertical slots within the other housing carry projecting pins of a platform for varying the vertical position of the circular platform which is shifted axially by relative rotation of the two housings. A pair of relatively rotating rings which are perforated about their periphery at one end of the tubular housing control airflow entering the interior of the moxa burner. The fumes from burning of a moxa roll are directed axially to one open end of the burner for contact with the surface area of the human body at certain "associated effect points" for acupuncture treatment of human patients. Multiple moxa burners may be carried on a suitable mounting board and suspended by strings over the patient's shoulder for adjustable height location along the patient's acupuncture meridian lines.
