  • Page 1 YOUR USER GUIDE Must be kept with the appliance English...
  • Page 2 Congratulations for choosing the Premio 10 moxa. Heat stimulation is a valuable therapeutic aid. Moxibustion, and its application to certain acupuncture points, is a major resource in the practitioner’s arsenal. Daily use of the Artemisia moxa in your practice poses a number of problems, with toxic fumes and the persistent odor being the most troublesome both for the therapist and the patient.

  • Page 4 To use your Premio 10 moxa as safely and comfortably as possible, we recommend that you read its user manual and the user manual for the power supply thoroughly before the first use. We have designed this guide to help you in your daily practice, so please don't hesitate to consult it regularly...

  • Page 5: General Information

    Your Premio 10 moxa is an appliance that emits infrared radiation at a spectrum that is particularly close to that emitted by a burning roll of Artemisia. It therefore lets you provide efficient additional therapy for a number of pathologies, through application of very specific “heat” to acupuncture points, areas of pain or reflex points.

  • Page 6: The Spectral Concordance Of The Premio 10 Moxa And Burning Artemisia

    The Premio 10 moxa infrared emitter has been specially designed so its emission spectrum is as close as possible to that of the end of a roll of lit Artemisia, without the ash (moxa-like, see appendix 3). The quality of the emission spectrum reproduces the exact stimulation obtained with a roll of Artemisia, in the same wavelength proportions.

  • Page 7: Indications, Safety Practices & Contraindications

    & & Indications Your Premio 10 moxa is particularly efficient for heat therapy of a zone or point: in acupuncture (moxibustion) on reflex points in auricular therapy locally on areas of pain Safety indications There are no specific contraindications for the Premio 10 moxa, apart from those for localized heat (risk of burning).

  • Page 9 The Premio 10 moxa comes with an accessory, the Concentrator, 4 sector adaptors, an operating guide and a storage bag. The bag contains a small pouch to hold the Premio 10 moxa, and a large one for the power supply, cord, operating guide, etc. This means you can store the appliance for transportation to your patients, if needed.

    5V between 1.5 and 3 A, or if not, a protected 5V external battery with an isolating cover, which is not connected to the mains whilst using Premio 10 moxa and does not supply more than 3 A. Caution, it must be a medical power supply unit. Otherwise, you could be exposed to severe risks.
  • Page 11 However, you can continue to use the device by holding it by the rear part. The insulating end of the Concentrator significantly reduces the risk of burns, in case of accidental contact. The Concentrator is safe to handle, thanks to the white insulating ring.

  • Page 14 The Concentrator can be added or removed at any time, using basic care if it is very hot. The Premio 10 moxa is programmed to automatically stop after 10 minutes of uninterrupted operation. The appliance can be turned back on immediately.

  • Page 15: Thermal Application

    HERMAL APPLICATION Operational in a few seconds, the Premio 10 moxa lets you heat up an area of cm², or, with the Concentrator, focusing the radiation on specific body or ear points: the “thermal needle” effect. To treat an area, sweeping the surface is apparently preferable to a point-...
  • Page 16 PPLICATION WITHOUT THE CONCENTRATOR Just as you would with a roll of moxa, bring the appliance close to the skin while holding it perpendicular above the area or point to be stimulated, without bringing it into contact (risk of burns). After a few seconds, and depending on the sensation of penetrating heat that your patient reports, move it away then bring it back, a few times;...

  • Page 17: Application With The Concentrator

    PPLICATION WITH THE CONCENTRATOR The Concentrator focuses the energy on a reduced area, when you wish to stimulate a precise point. This is useful with the ear in particular (auricular therapy), and with some parts of the body. Your patient will describe a sharp feeling of deep heat penetration after a few seconds, and this is where the term “thermal needle”...
  • Page 18 NDIRECT APPLICATION The Premio 10 moxa can of course be used for indirect moxibustion using a filter such as salt, garlic, ginger, or clay, etc, as with a roll of moxa. You can also interpose a film or fabric, or spread an adapted balm onto the zone or point.
  • Page 19 Reminder: make sure you let the disinfectant evaporate, if necessary, before turning the appliance back on. The Premio 10 moxa does not require other specific maintenance. Make sure no object comes in direct contact with the infrared emitter through the appliance’s orifice.

  • Page 20: Warranty - Breakdowns - Recycling Procedures

    BREAKDOWNS ECYCLING PROCEDURES The Premio 10 moxa is guaranteed 2 years in total (excluding the cord). If the appliance breaks down during this period, please return it to us for inspection. We will then either repair or replace your appliance.

  • Page 21: Appendix 1: Heat Stimulation

    1: H PPENDIX EAT STIMULATION Local application of heat has always been used both in medicine and “home remedies” to relieve pain and organic dysfunction. Research has demonstrated the type of thermal receptors and stimulating action of heat. The mobilized polymodal receptors transmit information by nerve channels, inducing local effects (vasodilatation, extravasation, inflammation and modification of the cellular metabolism, etc.)
  • Page 22 Blackbody-type emission (with a continuous spectrum, see page 27) centered on the medium infrared (2 to 4µm) stimulates the superficial and deep receptors without saturating the thermal sensors by increasing the cutaneous temperature above 47°C, which is the physiological pain threshold.
  • Page 23 Heat stimulation also markedly affects immunity by strongly increasing the production, diffusion and activity of leukocytes, neutrophil granulocytes and mastocytes, in particular. Significant research on the indications and use of medium and long infrared in practical complementary medicine is currently being carried out.

  • Page 24: Appendix 2: Moxibustion In Traditional Chinese Medicine

    2: M PPENDIX OXIBUSTION IN RADITIONAL HINESE EDICINE This term cannot be dissociated from acupuncture, in the Chinese ideogram. The recent discovery of very old manuscripts in a Chinese tomb (Ma- Wang-Dui) leads one to think that moxibustion may be older than and at the origin of the definition of meridians and acupuncture! Heat stimulation using non-burning combustion of the artemisia has been used for millennia, in China, of course, and in Japan.

    (peak around 2.6µm), and a significant part of the energy is given off in the long infrared, up to wavelengths approaching 15µm. The emission curve of the Premio 10 moxa is very near that of a blackbody (see fig. 2). 26/34...

  • Page 28 It also explains why the sensations experienced by the patient are similar, and thus lets you use the Premio 10 moxa in the same way as the roll of Artemisia you are used to (fig.1).

  • Page 30 Premio 10 moxa will resonate with these receptors. Moxibustion, as you know, cannot be summarized as the simple intakel of a quantity of energy, but also adds energy capable of reaching deep tissue as well as specific information perceived by the physiological receptors.

    Moxibustion made simple An appliance for the local application of heat using infrared radiation at a “moxa-like” spectrum, the Premio 10 moxa lets you recreate the sensations and results of the traditional practice of moxa. It frees you of all restrictions and inconveniences associated with the burning of artemisia, inspire trust in your patient and provides you with genuine ease of use, so you can safely apply your therapeutic skills.
