Matters needing attention in using moxa pillow: efficacy and function of moxa pillow
1 Pay attention to drying regularly. Sweat and grease secreted by the human body will attach to the pillow when sleeping. If it is not dried in time, the moxa pillow will be placed in a humid environment for a long time, which will not only lead to the rapid loss of efficacy, but also breed bacteria and microorganisms, which are prone to mildew and moth-eaten. Therefore, during the use of the moxa pillow, attention should be paid to regular drying and disinfection.

2 Pay attention to the effect of changing the moxa pillow regularly, and the pillow will be deformed if you sleep for too long. If you continue to use it, it will not only have no health care value, but also have adverse effects on cervical vertebrae. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to changing the moxa pillow regularly, and the longest time is generally no more than 2 years.

3 pay attention to taboo people. As a kind of Chinese herbal medicine, wormwood has a corresponding treatment range for the care of diseases, and its chemical composition is not necessary for human body, so not everyone is suitable for using wormwood pillows. Therefore, before using it, it is necessary to understand the taboo groups of moxa sticks, such as infants, people who are allergic to moxa sticks, and people with yin deficiency and blood heat.

The efficacy and function of moxa pillow can improve cervical health. The moxa stick is made of Folium Artemisiae Argyi, which is pungent, bitter and warm in traditional Chinese medicine, and belongs to liver, spleen and kidney meridians, and has the effects of dispelling cold and relieving pain, warming meridians and stopping bleeding. Therefore, using moxa pillow can alleviate some discomfort caused by cervical qi stagnation and blood stasis and meridian obstruction.

Volatile substances in moxa have a special fragrance, which can effectively repel mosquitoes, so sleeping in moxa pillow can also effectively prevent mosquito bites.

The smell of wormwood promoting sleep also has the function of purifying the air and inducing resuscitation, so smelling it when sleeping on the pillow can relax the nerves, relieve the fatigue of the brain and body and improve the quality of sleep.
