Question 2: How to use moxa sticks with fire dragon cans?
Question 3: The function of wormwood can also be used to soak feet. Many people don't know what effect moxa sticks have on soaking feet. Here is a brief introduction to the effect and method of foot soaking with wormwood. You can soak your feet all year round: soak your feet in spring and turn on the sun; Soaking feet in summer can dispel the heat; Soak your feet in autumn, moisten your lungs and intestines; Soak your feet in winter, and your abdomen is wet and hot. Old roots of trees wither first, and old feet rot first. Soaking feet with moxa sticks every day is not only good for relieving fatigue, but also good for sleeping. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the soles of the feet are rich in meridians, and the meridians of the liver, spleen, kidney and corresponding viscera all pass through here. Cold pathogen invades, spreads along the meridian, lungs lose their expression, and cough is born. However, Folium Artemisiae Argyi is warm, belonging to spleen and kidney meridian, which can warm and disperse cold pathogens and disperse lung qi, so it can cure cough quickly. Many people know that Ai Rong is good at soaking feet, but I don't know why. This is determined by the special position of the foot. Feet are located at the lowest end of the human body, farthest from the heart, and the blood circulation function is weak. So when qi and blood flow here, the energy is seriously attenuated. In addition, the subcutaneous fat of the foot is less, so the temperature of the foot is generally lower than the normal body temperature, which can explain why many people, especially women, often feel cold at the soles of their feet even if they put on warm clothes or warm water bags. From a health point of view, feet must keep warm and never catch cold, because feet belong to yin and are the weakest part of yang in the body. Soaking feet with warm water can not only improve the blood circulation of feet, reduce the accumulation of various metabolites in the body, but also help to eliminate fatigue, drive away cold and keep warm; It can also regulate the function of human internal organs through nerve receptors on the skin of feet. Especially soaking feet with hot water before going to bed has a mild effect on the central nervous system, which makes the cerebral cortex enter a state of inhibition and improves the quality of sleep. Normal people can also achieve the above effects by soaking their feet. But it is not enough for people with insufficient yang and heavy yin to soak their feet with warm water. At this time, boiling water with mugwort leaves can achieve quite ideal results. Because Artemisia argyi leaves are warm and pungent, it can warm blood and channels, dispel cold and remove dampness, stop cold and relieve pain, and has a miraculous effect on treating deficiency cold or stomach deficiency. Cold feet of middle-aged and elderly people are largely caused by poor blood circulation. The foot is the farthest part of the human body from the heart. In winter, due to the cold, the blood vessels in the feet contract and the blood circulation is blocked, which is easy to induce many diseases. Soaking feet with moxa boiling water can improve blood circulation, and also prevent and relieve varicose veins and peripheral neuritis. If the blood circulation is not good, the hands and feet are prone to numbness at ordinary times, or there is congestion in the lower limbs, you can also soak your feet with safflower and moxa sticks. Soaking feet can not only improve blood circulation, but also improve sleep quality to some extent. Soaking feet with safflower and wormwood can play a certain therapeutic role when catching a cold. The operation of soaking feet with moxa sticks is simple, and the moxa sticks used for soaking feet in this way do not need to be old or too high in purity, so ordinary moxa sticks can be used, so the cost is relatively low.

Hanging moxibustion instrument is to put moxa sticks on it, generate heat by electric heating moxa sticks, and then transmit the heat to human body. This kind of practice is a show, that is, a bluff. In order to increase the selling point of products, these people misinterpret moxibustion of traditional Chinese medicine at will. If you don't put the moxa stick, you will burn it if you put the others. As we all know, moxibustion is to light the moxa stick, and then moxibustion on the symptom parts, so as to have an effect.
The principle of true moxibustion:
Moxibustion applied to acupoints, through the input of heat and energy, causes the "stress response" of human body, mobilizes meridians to better play the overall role of promoting qi and blood circulation and harmonizing yin and yang. So as to dredge viscera, accelerate skin blood circulation, improve human immunity, and prevent and treat diseases.

Question 9: How to make wormwood and its function. Traditionally, Artemisia argyi leaves picked around the Dragon Boat Festival were made within ten days after the severe cold solar terms in Chen Fang more than three years later. With a wooden hammer, put the wormwood in a stone mortar and beat it repeatedly, so that the stems on the wormwood leaves will separate and the wormwood will become spherical. Screen out these hard impurities with a sieve, and the rest is wormwood. The more times you hit it, the more impurities there are, so the more times you hit it and sift it, the purer the wormwood will be. So now, "purity" is an element to evaluate the quality of wormwood. With the development of technology, the traditional production method is no longer used, because the traditional production method of moxa is too inefficient. At present, the method adopted is to automatically remove impurities by using the professional extractor of Ai Rong.
