Smart Moxibustion: Redefining Traditional Therapy

Moxibustion, as a traditional Chinese medical therapy, traces its origins back to the fire therapy of the Shang and Zhou dynasties (1600–256 BCE). During the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods (770–221 BCE), the Huangdi Neijing clearly stated, "Where acupuncture fails, moxibustion prevails," establishing the earliest theoretical framework for moxibustion. By the Tang and Song dynasties (618–1279 CE), moxibustion was included in the official medical compendium Qianjin Yaofang. In the Ming dynasty, Li Shizhen systematically expounded on the pharmacological properties of mugwort in his Bencao Gangmu. Over thousands of years, moxibustion has maintained its core value of "warming meridians, dredging channels, dispelling cold, and removing dampness," embodying the TCM philosophy of preventive healthcare.

Analysis of Limitations in Traditional Moxibustion

Despite its efficacy, traditional moxibustion faces three critical challenges that deter many users:

1. High Manual Dependency: Traditional moxibustion requires highly skilled therapists to manually hold moxa sticks for fixed-point moxibustion, necessitating 1–2 certified practitioners per session.

2. Low Time Efficiency: A standard moxibustion session lasts 1–2 hours, conflicting with modern urbanites' fragmented health management needs and struggling to attract younger demographics.

3. Unstable Therapeutic Outcomes: Factors like operator experience, moxa burning uniformity, and treatment duration can cause temperature fluctuations of ±15℃, compromising efficacy or increasing burn risks.

Technological Breakthroughs of Intelligent Moxibustion Robots

As China's first intelligent moxibustion robot brand, Zhimikangmin combines traditional moxibustion with robotic arm control and big data analysis. Their "Tai Ke Ai" series introduces three core innovations to overcome traditional limitations:

• Biomimetic Robotic Arm + AI Vision: The six-axis collaborative robotic arm mimics human hand movements for hovering moxibustion, while 3D somatosensory cameras ensure precise acupoint positioning, minimizing human error.

• Constant Temperature Control: Infrared sensors monitor skin temperature in real-time, allowing users to adjust distance via remote control for consistent therapeutic heat.

• Quantifiable Technical Parameters: The robot completes a full session in 28 minutes—from startup to data analysis—while offering customizable treatment durations for individual acupoints, significantly improving clinic efficiency.

By integrating TCM meridian theory with microelectronics and materials science, Zhimikangmin has shattered the temporal and spatial constraints of traditional therapy. Looking ahead, we remain committed to upholding the preventive healthcare philosophy of "treating disease before it manifests," ensuring intelligent moxibustion robots become an integral part of modern fast-paced life.
