The present invention relates to a heating element for cautery, which, if a skin contact unit protruding from the lower surface supplies power to a Joule heat resistor arranged on the upper surface of a heat transfer plate touching skin of cautery portion, forms the Joule heat generated from the Joule heat resistor on the upper surface of the heat transfer plate to be spaced from one another, transfers the Joule heat to the skin contact unit via two plated thin plates electrically connected to both ends of the Joule heat resistor to transfer the heat to the skin of the cautery portion, and senses temperature of the heat transfer plate by a temperature sensor sealed up in a state of being stuck to an internal bottom of a concave groove formed on the upper surface of the heat transfer plate to transfer the temperature externally. The cautery heating body according to the present invention transfers heat to the skin of the cautery portion while making the skin contact unit, protruding from the bottom of the heat transfer plate, come into contact with the skin of the cautery portion, thereby solving inconvenience of attaching or detaching an attachable patch which prevents the heating body from directly touching the skin whenever the cautery is performed, and specially, makes the temperature sensor, sealed up in a state of being stuck to the internal bottom of the concave groove formed on the upper surface of the heat transfer plate sense the temperature of the heat transfer plate and transfers the temperature to a main circuit board of the cautery treatment device using the heating element for the cautery, thereby rapidly and definitely preventing a burn accident on the skin caused by the heat of the heating body for the cautery.본 발명은 뜸 치료용 발열체에 관한 것으로, 저면에서 돌출된 피부접촉부가 뜸 치료 부위의 피부에 접촉하는 열 전달판의 상면에 배치된 줄(Joule)열 저항체로 전원을 공급하면 상기 줄열 저항체에서 발생하는 줄열이 상기 열 전달판의 상면에 서로 이격 형성되고 상기 줄열 저항체의 양단에 각각 전기적으로 연결되는 2개의 도금 박판을 통해 상기 피부접촉부로 전달되어 뜸 치료 부위의 피부로 전달되고, 상기 열 전달판의 상면에 형성된 요홈의 내
