What wormwood is good for moxibustion?
It is very important for moxibustion practitioners to fully understand wormwood. Unfortunately, most people's understanding of wormwood is not comprehensive enough, or even wrong. Looking through ancient records, there are four kinds of famous wormwood in history, namely wormwood, wormwood, wormwood and wormwood. ?

In the previous answer, ID: Mr. Moxibustion Ai Tiao also answered, the origin of Bei Ai is Fudao Town, tangyin county, Anyang City, Henan Province, the origin of Hai Ai is Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province, the origin of Artemisia argyi is Qichun County, Hubei Province and the origin of Ai Qi is Anguo County, Hebei Province.

Now introduce it in detail.

First, North Ai?

Bei Ai is now "Nine-headed Fairy Ai". In Song Dynasty, Su Song once recorded in Compendium of Materia Medica: "Folium Artemisiae Argyi, ... can be seen everywhere today, especially those who have regained Taoism and have four bright thoughts." According to the book, Fu Dao and Siming Love are the best. Li Shizhen also mentioned in Compendium of Materia Medica: "Tang Yin is called Northern Ireland". ?

? According to research, Fudao belongs to today's tangyin county, Anyang City, Henan Province, which is today's Fudao Town, so this kind of wormwood is also called Fudao Ai. The famous doctor Bian Que was buried in Fudao Town, and Fudao Ai was planted around Bianque Temple. Compared with other mugwort, voodoo mugwort is tall and luxuriant, with high cashmere yield and high medicinal value. Fan Chengda, a poet in the Southern Song Dynasty, once wrote a poem entitled "Burning Ai": "Seeking truth from love, pressing the acupoints according to ancient Tang Ming", which means that moxibustion requires true voodoo moxa, and acupoints should be selected according to ancient Tang Ming classics, and voodoo moxa should be placed in a very high position. ?

The highest praise for Vodafone appeared in the Ming Dynasty. According to "Tangyin County Records", "Fudao is one of the cemeteries of famous doctors, and there is a famous Ai Garden ... Ming officials wrote lyrics to praise Ai and set up a tablet to record things, calling it Tangyin Ai Garden Ai, which is the first medicine and respected as Xian Ai." It is said that in the Ming Dynasty, as a royal tribute, Vodafone was honored as Xian Ai, also known as "Nine-headed Xian Ai". This wormwood is what Li Shizhen called Bei Ai. Thus, the ancient heavy soup is yin and ai. ?

Second, sea love?

As famous as Bei Ai, there is also a kind of wormwood called Hai Ai, which was also discovered in the Song Dynasty. "Compendium of Materia Medica" said, "Ai Ye ... Tang Yin's revival of Taoism was the best in the Song Dynasty, and there were also those who had four bright pictures. In modern times, only Tangyin was called Bei Ai, and Siming was called Hai Ai. " The Siming mentioned here is Ningbo today. However, at present, the stock of Haiai is not much, and the brand is not loud enough. It needs the promotion and prosperity of local governments and people of insight. ?

Haiai

Third, Ai Yi?

In the Ming Dynasty, another kind of wormwood called Artemisia argyi was discovered in Li Shizhen's hometown of qi zhou, Hubei. Li Shizhen admired this kind of wormwood in his hometown. In Compendium of Materia Medica, he made no secret of his love for this kind of wormwood. Li Shizhen believes: "Since the beginning, Zhou Qi has won, filling the prescription with things, and the world is heavy, which is called wormwood." ?

Chinese mugwort

Fourth, Ai Qi.

Finally, talk about Ai Qi. Its pronunciation is the same as that of mugwort leaf, but it is not produced in Hubei, but refers to mugwort leaf produced in Anguo, Hebei (formerly known as qi zhou), so this mugwort leaf is also called Ai Qi. Qi zhou, located in the middle of the north, is rich in medicinal resources, and is the distribution center of northern medicinal materials. There are many records about Qi Ai in the medical books of Qing Dynasty. Li Ruzhen, a novelist in the Qing Dynasty, wrote in his later years in The Mirror Flower Garden that the wart was cured by moxibustion three times. The appearance of "Ai Qi" in the book confirmed the historical fact that Ai Qi had been used as Chinese herbal medicine by doctors at that time. ?

In addition to the famous mugwort recorded in the above history, there is also a kind of mugwort that is often mentioned, which is "red mugwort". There are different opinions about the origin of red wormwood. A couplet in Baogutang, Yuexiu, Guangzhou: "It's amazing to have a wonderful hand to rejuvenate, live in seclusion and teach doctors in a mountain house, and take local materials from Hongai ancient well." This couplet mentions a person, a kind of ai. One person refers to Bao Gu. Wormwood refers to wormwood with red feet, also known as "Bagu wormwood", which is produced in Yuexiu, Guangdong.
