The specific method is to point the moxa stick. After the smoke comes up, it won't be too choking to take a sip of pure moxa stick. If you attend, the smell of smoke is very pungent, and it will smell like burning paper.

2. Look at these ashes

As long as it doesn't move when burning, the ash won't fall by itself. It can last about 3-5 cm long. It's a mass of ash, and it's white inside after separation. This is a good moxa stick.

Step 3 look at the place of origin

The medicinal materials are authentic, and the effects of wormwood produced in different places are different. The best producing area of wormwood is Qichun, Hubei, followed by Hubei, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Henan.

Step 4 smell it

This is not lit to smell. The intensity of the smell is meaningless, because many moxa sticks are added with essence. Whether the smell is natural or not. Clear fragrance should have a refreshing effect.

5. Look at this color

Through the discrimination of the above methods, it is confirmed that the moxa stick is true, so the color is certainly better in Huang Yue. Of course, if you want to know what color mugwort leaves are, you can buy some mugwort leaves yourself and make them into sticks at home for comparison. There is a limit to the yellow color of wormwood. If it's not yellow enough to lose its true color, it's fake.

Well, Ai Rong seems to have a lot of black spots in the middle. Some people think it is sand or impurities. Actually, it's not. If you don't believe it, you can look at the ashes after it burns. Sand can't be burned. Those black spots are just functional ingredients. There are many moxa sticks. So the more moxa sticks you buy, the better.

The most important thing to distinguish moxa sticks is comprehensive comparison. Don't judge a moxa stick by any of the above five points. Need to compare in many ways.
