Abstract
This study compared the characteristics of temperature of the electronic moxibustion and Gu-Gwan moxibustion using a cotton dummy by designing and manufacturing the electronic moxibustion using a heat-wire heater easy to control temperature and time. As a result, as for Gu-Gwan moxibustion, the maximum temperature on the surface of dummy was measured 41.6°C, and infrared sensor 42.7°C while the electronic moxibustion measured 44.3°C of thermocouple and 46.43°C of infrared sensor, showing higher thermal efficiency. Also, as a result of measuring temperature change in the depth of 0mm, 2mm, 4mm, 6mm and 10mm for the same period of time, the electronic moxibustion showed better thermal conductivity than Gu-Gwan moxibustion.
