An electric moxibustion device includes a tubular case having a front end opening, a heater unit placed near the front end opening in the case, and a heatproof rubber cap removably attached to the front end of the case. The heater unit comprises a heat transfer metal plate and a heating element which is fixed on the back surface of the heat transfer metal plate and generates heat using power from an external power source or a battery. The cap and the case are configured for holding an absorbent-retentive member which absorbs and retains a medical fluid between the discharge opening of the cap and the heat transfer metal plate in the case. The case has a thermoregulation circuit built-in which can change the temperature of the heating element in a stepwise manner, and push buttons for temperature adjustment are provided on the outer periphery of the case.
