1. A method of driving a thermal massage device for strengthening immunity to massage the spine of a user while a heating moxibustion device moves in a first direction extending from an upper portion of the spine of the user to a lower portion of the spine of the user or in a second direction opposite to the first direction, comprising:
a pre-stroke step wherein the heating moxibustion device massages the entire spine of the user with a first intensity in order to relax nerves or muscles of the user;
a first main stroke step wherein the heating moxibustion device massages the spine while moving according to a first massage pattern for inducing the user's sleep;
a second main stroke step wherein the heating moxibustion device massages the spine while moving according to a second massage pattern for maintaining the user's sleep and preparing for sleep escape; and
a finish stroke step wherein the heating moxibustion device massages the spine while moving according to a third massage pattern for inducing the user's sleep escape and nerve balance,
wherein the first massage pattern comprises:
a path 1-1 during which the heating moxibustion device sequentially:
in path (1), moves through a sympathetic nerve section in the first direction,
in path (2), moves through the sympathetic nerve section in the second direction without entering a parasympathetic nerve section between path (1) and path (2),
in path (3), moves through the sympathetic nerve section in the first direction,
in path (4), enters the parasympathetic nerve section in the first direction without re-entering the sympathetic nerve section after path (3), and
in path (5), re-enters the sympathetic nerve section,
wherein the path 1-1 further includes:
a first thermal stimulation point within path (1),
a second thermal stimulation point within path (2) and further along the first direction than the first thermal stimulation point,
a third thermal stimulation point within path (3) and further along the first direction than the second thermal stimulation point, and
a fourth thermal stimulation point between path (4) and path (5) and further along the first direction than the third thermal stimulation point, such that corresponding internal organs of the user are stimulated in a specific thermal stimulation order, and
a path 1-2 during which the heating moxibustion device enters the parasympathetic nerve section,
wherein the first main stroke step comprises massaging the spine with a second intensity stronger than the first intensity in the path 1-1, and massaging the spine with the first intensity in the path 1-2 to induce sleep.
