Abstract

목적 : 뜸 연소 실험을 통해 간접구의 일종인 온구기의 연소 특성을 조사하였다. 방법 : 온구기를 유리판 위에 놓고 연소하여 50분간 온도 데이터를 수집하였다. 총 20개의 뜸봉을 연소하여 수집된 데이터를 분석하여 평균 온도, 최고 온도, 최고 온도 도달 시간, 최고 온도 지속 시간을 계산하였다. 또 혈류량을 증가시킨다고 보고된 온도($38^{\circ}C$)에 도달하는 시간, 그 이상의 온도로 지속되는 시간, C-fiber의 활성화를 통해 치료효과를 나타내는 것으로 보고된 온도($42-50^{\circ}C$)에 도달하는 시간과 그 범위 내의 지속시간을 계산하였다. 결과 : 평균 최고온도는 $50.4^{\circ}C$이고 평균 도달시간은 1,007초, 평균 지속시간은 27초였다. 평균최고 온도는 보고된 다른 간접구와 유사하였으나 평균 도달시간은 더 길었다. $38^{\circ}C$에 도달하는 평균시간은 410초이고 지속 시간은 1,813초였다. $42-50^{\circ}C$에 도달하는 평균시간은 521초이고 지속시간은 990초였다. 결론 : 온구기는 연소 특성이 보고된 다른 종류의 뜸보다 더 오랜 시간 동안 안정적인 열자극이 가능하여, 뜸치료의 임상 활용의 폭을 높일 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
