Folium Artemisiae Argyi is recorded in many TCM documents, and its side effects are recorded in China Materia Medica. Although eating mugwort leaves can increase people's appetite and is beneficial to digestion and absorption, it also has its disadvantages. When taken in large doses, its irritation will accumulate, which will cause gastrointestinal inflammation, severe abdominal pain, nausea and gastrointestinal bleeding. Therefore,
Two: It is best to choose Artemisia argyi for external use, such as acupuncture and foot bath.
The oral effect of Folium Artemisiae Argyi is mainly in the digestive system, but its effect is not limited to the digestive system when it is used externally. Traditional Chinese medicine is used to dividing medicine and human body into yin and yang attributes, and Artemisia argyi is a positive plant. Therefore, when used externally, it can help the human body to dispel wind and cold. People with heavy humidity and fear of cold are very suitable for acupuncture and moxibustion with good curative effect. It can also help the human body to enhance immunity and resist the invasion of six evils.
Third, choose the best time for moxibustion.
Everyone knows the truth of treating winter diseases in summer. A major feature of TCM treatment is that it is closely related to the climate. Winter diseases often refer to those diseases that are wet and cold. Treating diseases in summer is conducive to extracting cold with the help of temperature, and the effect of mugwort leaves can achieve twice the result with half the effort.
Of course, when mugwort leaves are used for moxibustion, we also need to pay attention to some special circumstances. For example, people who are drunk cannot be used for moxibustion. Therefore, everyone should pay attention to calmly thinking about the problem and think about whether it is in line with themselves. Don't blindly follow the trend. What is effective is the best, and it has nothing to do with other people's suggestions.
