There are mainly moxa sticks: moxa sticks, medicinal moxa sticks and moxa powder moxa sticks.
The moxa sticks are all made of moxa sticks, excluding other materials. This kind of moxa stick is also called pure moxa stick and clear moxa stick. The effect of this kind of moxa stick is mainly determined by its purity. We often see merchants selling 35: 1 5 gold moxa sticks. This ratio means that 1 kg of moxa is made of 35 kg of moxa leaves, and this kind of wool is made of strips. At present, the purity of wormwood on the market ranges from 1: 1 to 35: 1, and it is difficult to get it out even higher. If a merchant promotes more than 35: 1, please don't trust him.
The color and smoke produced by burning moxa with different purity will be different. The higher the purity, the milder the moxa fire. So many people put the best moxa sticks directly on the skin for moxibustion (direct moxibustion).
Cashmere from 1: 1 to 5: 1 is slightly black and contains impurities and straw. Will damage the meridians in use. Most mugwort cigarettes are cyan.
Cashmere from 8: 1 to 15: 1 is khaki or yellow, which is the color advocated by moxibustion experts. Moxa smoke is white.
Cashmere above 15: 1 is yellow and golden yellow. Because its color is similar to that of gold, it is also called velvet gold velvet. Moxa smoke is white.
The above is the basic knowledge of the proportion and types of moxa sticks. If I want to give a serious answer here, it will probably take a long time. For this reason, I sorted out some information myself and made it an attachment. Please download the consultation yourself, or you can learn it in the "Xiangyi Moxibustion Health Guide". I hope the answer is helpful to everyone!
