Abstract

A moxibustion jar and a medicinal moxibustion device are provided. The moxibustion jar comprises a jar body (10), with a first opening (11) being formed on the bottom of the jar body (10); and, an adsorption chamber (20) which is arranged on the jar body (10). The adsorption chamber (20) is configured to absorb the jar body (10) onto an object to be cauterized, and the jar body (10) is configured to generate medicine vapor and allow the medicine vapor to reach the first opening (11) to come into contact with the object to be cauterized. In this moxibustion jar, by providing the adsorption chamber (20) on the jar body (10), the moxibustion jar can be absorbed onto the surface of the skin of a human body. On this basis, a medicine liquid evaporation device (30) evaporates a liquid medicine to form medicine vapor, so that the gas pressure inside the jar body (10) is increased and the absorption rate of the skin is thus improved. Moreover, the moxibustion jar and the medicinal moxibustion device are simple and clean, and have few operation limitations and better therapeutic effects.
