현재 뜸은 여러 가지 형태로 다양화 되고 있다. 뜸쑥을 압착하여 만든 개량형 뜸을 이용해 경혈을 자극하기도 하고, 뜸쑥을 크고 오목하게 만들어 주로 체간에 사용기도 한다. 최근에는 복부 전체를 덮을 만큼 큰 틀에 많은 쑥 뜸을 태우는 이른바 왕뜸 기법이 활용되고 있기도 하다.
뜸의 특징은?
뜸은 치료 효과가 우수하여 지금까지도 임상에서 빈번히 활용되고 있으며, 여러 연구들을 통해 면역, 통증 기전에 긍정적인 효과를 나타낸다고 알려져 있다. 특히 뜸은 삶의 질을 높인다는 측면에서도 긍정적으로 받아들여지고 있다.
牛角灸法의 존재는 어디에서 확인되는가?
조선에서 다용되었던 뜸법의 하나로 牛角灸法이 있다. 이 기법은 『鍼灸經驗方』, 『良方金丹』, 『醫方合 編』, 『四醫經驗方』, 『醫彙』 등 조선에서 저술된 경험 방서들에서만 그 존재가 확인되며3) 중국의서에서는 우각구법과 관련한 치법들을 찾아볼 수 없다. 이들 서적들은 조선의 경험 처방들을 중심으로 만들어졌다는 공통점을 가진다.
