What is wormwood?
As we said before, acupuncture and moxibustion are two completely different concepts. Don't think that moxibustion is acupuncture, but moxa sticks are the raw material of moxibustion, which is extracted from a plant called wormwood. The leaves of wormwood are repeatedly sun-dried, mashed, crushed and screened to remove impurities and dust. High purity wormwood feels like cotton. The moxa sticks can be made into different quality moxa sticks or moxa sticks according to different purity. If it is not made of moxa sticks, you can also use moxa sticks directly. For example, low-purity moxa can be used to soak feet; moxa that has been aged for several years can be used for moxibustion with the aid of moxibustion box or moxibustion instrument, while moxa with the highest purity, such as five-year-old top-grade moxa, can be used for skin moxibustion or moxibustion.
How should I use moxa?
1, foot bath moxa stick This is a professional moxa stick used for foot bath, because this kind of moxa stick has a short age in Chen Fang and its purity is not high, only 5: 1. So this kind of moxa is very suitable for soaking feet.
2. Within three years, this product is mainly exported, and the exporting country is mainly South Korea. 10: 1 is better. There, wormwood is mainly used for health care, beauty and treatment. Before the product is exported, it must go through layers of security checks, such as whether there are pesticide components in the moxa stick, the content of heavy metals and the pharmacological aspects of the moxa stick.
3. Gold moxa This gold moxa is 40: 1 five years old. On the basis of the original 30: 1, the purity has been improved. This kind of moxa is golden in color, so it is called golden moxa. If you want to use skin moxibustion or physical moxibustion for moxibustion, or you want to make some navel, pillow and pad of moxa sticks, this kind of moxa sticks is the best choice, because it not only grows in Chenfang, but also has high purity and feels like cotton with your hands. This kind of moxa stick is used for skin moxibustion, which does not hurt meridians. When used as moxibustion navel or moxa pillow, moxa residue will not fall out.
Case study on the use of wormwood
First of all, Ms. Wang, a 47-year-old woman who uses foot-soaking moxa sticks, said that she often suffers from insomnia at night and is often in a bad mood during the day. Later, she bought some such moxa sticks and soaked her feet every day or every other day. After doing this for about a month, she found that her mental state was obviously much better than before. When she goes to bed at night, she sleeps soundly. When she gets up during the day, she is full of energy and can concentrate on her work.
Second: using the case of Chen Airong for three years, Ms. Zhang is in her fifties and now she is a grandmother. Now she has no job at home, and several children have jobs. She also has leisure time to coax her grandchildren at home. I like dancing when I am alone, and then I do moxibustion to protect myself. Then one day, she suddenly thought of making a pillow with this kind of moxa. The moxa pillow she made won't fall out, so she sleeps with this pillow every day. After half a year, his migraine disappeared unconsciously. Having tasted the sweetness, he has now made several little moxa pillows for his grandson and children. After a year or so, she will take out the moxa sticks in the pillow and use them for moxibustion, and then buy some super moxa sticks and reinstall them. What a kill two birds with one stone!
