First: the harvest and storage of wormwood.
Second: the processing of mugwort leaves.
Third: the rolling of moxa sticks.
The first link: the harvesting and storage technology of wormwood.
We choose the harvest time of three days before and after the Dragon Boat Festival. It's sunny. The wormwood is harvested and exposed to the sun for 2-3 days. In this way, drateaf can be dried by 670%. Then it can be shipped home. After the wormwood is shipped home, it should be spread out and not piled together. A large amount of wormwood is piled up together, which can produce high temperature and burn the essential oil inside. The leaves will turn yellow and the efficacy will be greatly reduced. Spread out and dry in the shade in a naturally ventilated and dry place.
Drateaf can shed leaves when it is 70% or 80% dry. After the leaves of wormwood are separated, it is a storage link. It needs to be stored in a natural, dry and ventilated environment for about three years. Most of them use woven bag devices. After three years of storage, this time it was called Ai Chen. The harvesting, defoliation and storage techniques of wormwood are all here.
The second link: the processing of wormwood.
The wormwood leaves are processed into moxa by machine or hand, and the machine can adopt a large pulverizer. Manual DIY can be done with a hammer. Disadvantages are low efficiency and hard work. The other is to process wormwood with a stone mortar. Its advantages are ancient technology and high drug effect content. His shortcomings are low efficiency and high price of moxa sticks. Few people with good economic conditions are used by moxibustion lovers. The price of shijiu moxa stick is 8~ 10 times that of machine moxa stick. Because the labor cost is too high. There is also a process of sieving powder, which processes mugwort leaves into mugwort leaves. Mechanical screening is also used now. According to the moxa stick, the quality is high or low. In traditional business, the grades of moxa are divided into. 10.115.120.125.130.1is used to indicate the grade of wormwood. The bigger his size, the higher the purity of Ai, and the more expensive it is! At the same time, with its over-processing, more effective components in wormwood will be lost. Therefore, according to my experience, I recommend you to use a neutral proportion of moxa sticks and moxa sticks, which is cost-effective. Processing wormwood leaves into wormwood will produce two substances. 1 is wormwood, followed by wormwood powder. Ai Rong can process moxa sticks.
The third link: the rolling of moxa sticks.
Most of the current moxa sticks are rolled by machines, so the mobile phone is efficient and looks good! Ai Rong is even, and the burning firepower is even! After the roll is made, it needs an air-drying process. In the process of air-drying the moxa stick, the rice paste is combined with the moisture of the moxa stick. In a dry and ventilated environment, the moxa sticks are naturally air-dried and then bagged and put into storage. Handmade technology is complicated. If there is a ready-made moxa stick, it should of course be ready-made, just like Rong's moxa stick is good. Rong is a collection of moxa planting, moxa products manufacturing and Chinese medicine health care, so it is very safe to use.
