It is solid particles produced by incomplete combustion of carbon, which is harmful to the body for a long time and can cause pneumoconiosis. The longer the time, the greater the damage. But as long as it is not inhaled for a long time, the harm can be ignored.
Study on Chemical Constituents of moxa smoke Folium Artemisiae Argyi is the main raw material of clinical moxibustion in traditional Chinese medicine. In addition to the heat released by the burning of mugwort leaves, the components in mugwort smoke also play a certain role in moxibustion treatment.
In order to explore the volatile components in mugwort smoke produced by burning mugwort leaves, the chemical components in moxa smoke were determined and analyzed. In view of the complex composition and low concentration of the gas produced by the combustion of Artemisia argyi leaves, benzene-methanol is specially selected as the absorption liquid to absorb the flue gas (gas).
If there is any harmful substance in the smoke produced during moxibustion, it is that burning moxa sticks will produce aldehydes and phenols harmful to human body, but it doesn't matter if the inhalation amount is small. People who are used to moxibustion should pay attention to smoking when moxibustion.
In short, the smoke produced by moxibustion will not cause substantial harm to the human body as long as it is not inhaled in large quantities for a long time.
