Is the smoke produced by moxibustion burning beneficial or harmful? What is the basis?
Many studies at home and abroad have proved that the chemical composition of moxa smoke is very complicated, and there are no less than 1 19 compounds in moxa sticks. Generally speaking, there are advantages and disadvantages. Such as carbon monoxide, PM2.5, 3. 14 benzopyrene and other highly toxic and even toxic substances, monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzene, pentyl-(pentabenzene) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons such as naphthalene, phthalates and so on. And 2- tert-butyl -4- hexylphenol (2- tert-butyl -4- hexylphenol), cacumenone (cacumenone) and other substances, accounting for about 10.625% of the total, and long-term contact can have adverse effects on human body. Therefore, it is an indisputable fact that mobile air detectors or indoor air purification devices will instantly leave the list during moxibustion, which is also the main reason why acupuncture has been popular all over the world for many years, but moxibustion has basically not gone abroad.

Of course, moxibustion smoke also contains a large number of medicinal components, bioactive components and spices, such as terpenoids, alkanes, esters, olefins, alcohols, ketones, aldehydes, aromatic hydrocarbons and so on. Such as eucalyptus oil essence (eucalyptus oil essence), camphor (camphor), juniper camphor (juniper brain), caryophyllene (caryophyllene), caryophyllene oxide (caryophyllene oxide), dimethyl ene (chrysanthemum cocoon) and other substances, accounting for about 5.067% of the total, have antibacterial, antiviral and bacteriostatic effects. These active particles (quantum) produced after combustion should be the active material basis for moxibustion to exchange information and energy with human body through acupoints, and play an indispensable role in the clinical efficacy of moxibustion.

A large number of research conclusions show that moxibustion smoke has good curative effect on many diseases, but it is also potentially harmful to human health. Therefore, many research conclusions generally believe that moxibustion time should not be too long, moxibustion environment should be left as soon as possible after moxibustion, and practitioners such as moxibustion practitioners should be equipped with good protective measures to prevent occupational diseases. .

Moxibustion smoke is worth noting in at least three aspects for people's sense of smell: first, the strong smoke smell after burning wormwood; The second is the special aroma of moxa sticks, and the third is the unique taste of metabolites absorbed by the skin after moxibustion, which varies from person to person. This is probably what the ancient literature described as "moxibustion produces extraordinary fragrance". No matter which kind of fragrance in the cigarette has strong adsorption, it can adhere to the wall surface of the living room, penetrate into clothes, and even diffuse and float in the indoor air for a long time.

In order to effectively solve the adverse effects of moxibustion smoke, moxibustion practitioners have carried out a lot of innovative practices in recent years, and invented many effective smoke reduction and elimination devices, most of which are physical methods such as filtration, adsorption and blocking, and also strive to provide many effective smoke reduction, smoke exhaust and smoke prevention services. Up to now, no invented device adopting chemical neutralization method has been seen. The existing methods can't fundamentally solve the problem of toxic and side effects of moxibustion smoke, and can't really fundamentally and effectively improve the pollution scene and experience of Ai Ju smoke, which also hinders the further popularization of moxibustion to some extent.

Perhaps in the future, the more effective innovation of safe smoke reduction or smoke purification of moxibustion is to combine physical filtration and adsorption with chemical neutralization to create an innovative scheme to subvert brain holes, which can not only retain the beneficial active components of moxa smoke to the maximum extent, but also filter out the harmful components after neutralization to the maximum extent, thus providing brand-new and more ecological and effective moxibustion health services.

First of all, answer the question. Moxibustion smoking has advantages and disadvantages for patients, which varies from person to person.

Moxibustion, as one of the main treatment methods of traditional Chinese medicine, has been accepted by everyone since ancient times, mainly because it is simple, convenient, cheap and experienced. Moxibustion is just a branch of moxibustion, which is widely known because of its common use.

In fact, the title says that cigarettes are more likely to be rejected by everyone, and it is better to say that "medicinal gas" ("medicinal gas" includes cigarettes absorbed by respiratory tract and drugs absorbed by skin) is more likely to be accepted by everyone. Among the moxibustion methods, there are not only moxibustion, but also many moxibustion methods, such as thunder fire moxibustion, Taiyi moxibustion and Tianjiu moxibustion. Their treatment and curative effect mainly depend on "medicine qi"

There are two mechanisms for moxibustion to play a therapeutic role: the first and most important is moxibustion to warm acupoints; The other is "medicinal qi". Judging from its action mechanism, warmth is its main action mechanism. Therefore, there is no need to worry about whether smoking is beneficial to patients, because "medicinal gas" is only an auxiliary therapeutic effect, and of course, contact with medicinal gas will have a better therapeutic effect.

For patients with bronchitis and upper respiratory problems, inhaling too much smoke during moxibustion is a kind of injury in itself, and it is impossible to rob Peter to pay Paul. Now the smog is so serious that the dean is not allowed to produce too much smog when moxibustion. Of course, the fire prevention measures in hospitals are not allowed to produce a lot of smoke.

A small amount of cigarettes is good for people, because moxa contains selenium, but you can't stand a lot of cigarettes yourself, can you? If the smoke is heavy, your tolerance for particles will become smaller and you will definitely suffocate. A moderate amount of this kind of thing will do. There are smokeless moxibustion instruments and smokeless moxibustion beds on the market. If you can't stand the smell of smoke, you can consider these smoky ones.

Smoking for a long time must have great side effects, and there are shadows in the lungs.

Worse than the air in the smoking room.

It has antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and antipruritic effects, and can purify formaldehyde in the environment.

Moxa smoke in the health center is almost bad.

Why?

The key is the quality of wormwood.

The smoke produced by mugwort is really good, good.

But all kinds of fake and inferior goods on the market are really cheap.

Excuse me, I'd like to ask if you plan to keep fit.

Or smoke toxic second-hand smoke

Of course it's harmful. Is it different from burning straw?

Are the consequences of indiscriminate bombing of antibiotics beneficial or harmful?

Everything has advantages and disadvantages, and there is no absolute good or bad. TCM pursues a balance.
