Multifunctional Eye and Nose Moxibustion Instrument 2nd Gen

Product Overview

The AiYiSheng Multifunctional Eye and Nose Moxibustion Instrument 2nd Generation delivers smokeless, flameless moxibustion therapy through controlled far-infrared heat technology, eliminating the combustion and smoke associated with traditional moxa stick applications. The device is engineered to apply gentle, regulated thermal stimulation to acupoints surrounding the eyes and nasal passages, targeting meridian pathways relevant to visual health, tear film regulation, and nasal mucosa function according to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) principles. The 2nd Generation model incorporates an ergonomic dual-zone head configuration with a 3D soft sponge cushion contoured to the orbital and nasal anatomy, facilitating consistent acupoint contact without compression discomfort.

In Singapore, moxibustion devices used in TCM clinical settings are subject to oversight by the Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners Board (TCMPB) under the Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners Act. Home-use wellness instruments of this class are positioned as complementary self-care tools and are not classified as therapeutic medical devices requiring Health Sciences Authority (HSA) registration under the Health Products Act. Procurement for TCM clinics, integrative wellness centres, and home health programmes is available through EMIS with same-day dispatch for Singapore-wide delivery.

Product Specifications

Clinical Indications and Applications

• Eye fatigue and asthenopia: Targeted heat stimulation at periorbital acupoints (Jingming BL-1, Zanzhu BL-2, Sizhukong TB-23, Tongziliao GB-1) is used in TCM practice to promote local Qi and blood circulation, reduce eye muscle tension, and alleviate visual fatigue from prolonged screen use.
• Dry eye syndrome (complementary use): Gentle warmth around the meibomian gland zone and orbital rim may support lid margin circulation and meibomian gland secretion quality as a complementary adjunct to conventional dry eye management; consistent with clinical moxibustion studies on ocular surface parameters.
• Allergic rhinitis and nasal congestion: Heat application to nasal acupoints (Yingxiang LI-20, Bitong EX-HN-8) is used in TCM to warm the Yang meridians of the nose, promote nasal mucosa circulation, and support symptomatic relief from rhinitis-associated congestion and discomfort.
• Sinusitis (complementary, chronic phase): Thermal stimulation supporting nasal sinus circulation as a self-care adjunct between TCM practitioner consultations, not as a replacement for pharmacological management.
• TCM clinic patient home care programmes: Prescribed by registered TCM practitioners (TCMPs) for self-administered maintenance therapy between clinic sessions, supporting treatment adherence and symptomatic management.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this device safe to use without a TCM practitioner's supervision?

The device is designed for home use with adjustable temperature (40–65°C) and timer controls to limit session duration. For individuals with dry eye disease, glaucoma, or chronic rhinosinusitis, initial use under guidance from a registered TCM Practitioner (TCMP) or medical doctor is recommended. The device should not be used on damaged periorbital skin, over open wounds, or by individuals with heat sensitivity conditions. Children should be supervised by an adult during use.

How does flameless moxibustion differ from traditional moxa stick therapy?

Traditional moxibustion involves burning dried mugwort (Artemisia argyi) to generate heat and therapeutic smoke near acupoints. Flameless electronic moxibustion devices replicate the thermal acupoint stimulation using far-infrared heating elements without combustion, eliminating smoke inhalation risk, fire hazard, and the need for moxa materials. Research in TCM journals (PMC3789413) supports the principle that thermal acupoint stimulation is a primary mechanism underlying moxibustion's clinical effects.

What temperature setting is recommended for first-time users?

First-time users should begin at the lower end of the temperature range (40–45°C) with a 10–15 minute session to assess individual heat tolerance. The temperature can be gradually increased across subsequent sessions up to a maximum of 65°C as comfort permits. Avoid temperatures exceeding 45°C for use around the eyes in individuals with sensitive skin or thin periorbital tissue.

Is this device registered with Singapore's HSA?

Home-use TCM wellness instruments delivering thermal acupoint stimulation are generally classified as general wellness products in Singapore and do not require registration as medical devices under the Health Products Act, provided no therapeutic medical claims are made. The device is categorised under TCM wellness instruments under the Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners Board (TCMPB) framework. Clinic purchasers should verify applicability to their specific procurement and clinical governance requirements.

Can this device be used alongside conventional ophthalmology or ENT treatments?

Yes, as a complementary wellness tool. Patients receiving conventional treatment for dry eye, glaucoma, allergic rhinitis, or chronic sinusitis may use this device as an adjunct, provided they disclose its use to their treating ophthalmologist or ENT specialist. It does not replace pharmacotherapy, surgical interventions, or conventional medical management.
