대형 쑥뜸요법이 중년여성의 신체건강지수와 피부건강에 미치는 영향

Abstract

Women experience a change in body composition with age, pregnancy, childbirth etc. Specifically, their body fat percentage rapidly rise through the processes. Lack of physical activity, weakness and daily lethargy react simultaneously with the effects of obesity lower their quality of life. It is rather conventional to say that efforts should be made for solving the problems such as obesity, menopause, climacterium and aging, However, these are the most troubling issues for the middle aged women. First of all, obesity leads to metabolic diseases so it is not a simple physical matter for them. High blood pressure, hyper-cholesterol, arteriosclerosis and heart disease work as major risk factors. If obesity continues, it is related to breast cancer, cervical cancer and ovarian cancer. Also, it not only is a health problem also an appearance problem. We should not overlook heavier than normal weight, one of the various factors contributing to obesity, can negatively influence living habits.

I wanted to present a health care method that uses large moxa cautery, which is a typical therapy used to solve health problems in middle-age women. The study examined the uses of moxa cautery machine and moxa sticks that could stimulate skin with calefaction. They are a part of traditional medicine that should be performed with care for following adverse effects: unpleasant smell, smoke and possibility of getting burnt. Since moxa cautery can be performed easily at home, it may be considered a good prevention method for the deterioration of their health.

Two ways of thermo therapy strengthened the effects of moxa cautery presented in the latter part of the paper have strengthened the effects of moxa cautery smoke, smell and the danger of getting burnt thus making if more approachable. Although there are both positive and negative sides to electronic therapy systems such as TDP thermo therapy and heat treatment using a with special machine, it is necessary to study the holistic value of the tractional use of large moxa cautery. In-depth research and constant education of moxa cautery should be made at various organizations such as the academy of lifelong education.
