Purpose: To improve health care of the elderly, we have used Moxibustion to examine the effectiveness of this product from 1st Feb. 2007 to 31 st May for 78 people who are older than 65 years old twice a week. Method: The tool of research was modified Cornell Medical Index(CMI) which Nam Ho Chang(1965) modified for the Korean and CMI which consists of 26 questions. Data were analyzed in frequency, paired t-test by SPSS. Result: Hypothesis: 'It was supported that CMI increases for those who have treated Moxinustion'. There were significant differences between before and after using Moxibustion when the symptom is one of those which are sore throat, tonsillar, edema, tightness of nose, common cold, cough, tightness of chest, palpitation, dyspnea, edema of leg, difficulty of urination, anorexia, heavy on stomach, nausea, vomiting, dyspepsia, fullness of abdomen, stomachache, diarrhea, constipation, incontinency of stool, arthralgia, shoulder or backache, lumbago, headache, burning or chillness, vertigo and dizziness. Conclusion: As a result, Moxibustion is effective for such symptoms so that it is considered to be using in everyday life this product for better health care.

The purpose of this pilot study was to identify the effects of hand moxibustion therapy to decrease pain and relieve coldness of the body in women who had a hysterectomy. The conceptual framework of this study was derived from Ying-Yang, Khi and other corresponding theories. The data were collected from February to May 1997. A Graphic Rating scale was used to measure the degree of pain and Digital Infrared Thermographic Imaging(D.I.T.I) was used to examine the degree of coldness. The subjects were women who resided in Seoul and had a hysterectomy within five years. An experimental group was composed of five women who received moxibustion and a control group was composed of five who did not. The research procedure began with having both the experimental group and control group describe their general characteristics and the degree of pain they perceived. Then, Digital Infrared Thermographic Imaging(D.I.T.I) was conducted. Moxibustion was only given to the experimental group on both hands twice every day for a total of five weeks. Their perception of pain and D.I.T.I were examined weekly. The control group received no therapy. After finishing therapy, the perception of pain and D.I.T.I for both groups were also measured. According to this study, moxibustion therapy resulted in a change of body temperature on the right shoulder joint(p=0.00074), abdomen(p= 0.0047), waist(p=0.0068) and hands(p=0.0317) respectively. Also, the study results showed significant decrease (p=0.0001) in pain over time and significant improvement over body coldness.

A laser moxibustion therapy device having effect similar to that of traditional moxibustion is being developed using 1064 nm infrared laser. The therapy device allows direct interaction of laser light with the tissue rendering temperature distribution both on the skin surface and deep under the skin. We made a device that could measure temperature of deep under the surface of agar gel tissue phantom using thermocouples. A thermal imaging camera was used to verify results from the temperature measurement device. We compared the characteristics of heat transfer inside the tissue phantom during moxibustion and laser irradiation. The temperature distribution measured by thermocouples was found to be similar to that of distribution given by thermal imaging camera.

연구배경: 우리나라에서 대체-보완의료가 기관지천식의 환자에서 광범위하게 사용되어지리라고 추측되고 있다. 그러나 우리나라 성인천식환자에서의 대체-보완의료의 실태는 아직 보고된 바가 없다. 이 연구는 우리나라의 성인천식환자에 있어서 대체-보완의료의 사용실태와 경향을 알아보고자 시행하였다. 방 법: 2000년 1월부터 2003년 12월까지 경희대병원에 1회 이상 입원한 병력이 있는 천식 환자를 대상으로 하였으며 설문조사 연구에 동의하는 환자 100명에게 직접면담 하거나 전화를 통해 설문조사를 시행했다. 환자들의 병력은 병록지를 참고로 조사하였다. 결 과: 조사환자 100명 중 53명이 대체-보완 의료를 경험하였다. 환자가 치료받은 병원 수가 많을수록 대체-보완의료를 경험한 횟수가 많았으며, 연령 별로는 50대가 가장 많이 대체-보완의료를 경험하였다. 흔히 사용한 대체-보완의료의 종류는 음식 및 건강식품이 35명으로 가장 많았다. 그 다음으로 약초가 28명, 침 요법이 9명, 쑥뜸요법이 6명, 그리고 호흡운동이 1명이었다. 결 론: 연구에 참여한 천식환자의 절반이상(53%)에서 대체-보완의료를 경험하였다. 향후 천식치료에 있어 한방 및 대체-보완의료에 대한 실태와 임상적 유용성에 대한 추가적인 연구가 필요할 것으로 보인다.

'BUDDEUMI and BUDDEUMI's treatment; is a new remedy of the synchronous combination of cupping boil and moxibustion for the exclusion of human body's waste product. 'BUDDEUMI and BUDDEUMI's' treatment' wishes the reachfor improving the effect of cupping boil and moxibustion by the synchronous combination. As the negative pressure of cupping and the hot cure of moxa are made up of BUDDEUMI structural character. The effects of BUDDEMI's treatment are observed on the strengthening of skin breation and the detoxification of blood waste material. Therefor 'BUDDEUMI and BUDDEMI's treatment' is expected for the healthy article of Senior-Friendly.
