As everyone knows, mugwort leaves are a good traditional Chinese medicine, with a warm nature, promoting Qi and blood circulation. In traditional Chinese medicine, mugwort leaves are often made into moxibustion patches for moxibustion to achieve better therapeutic effects. However, the making of moxibustion patches can be completely done at home manually, and the effects and costs of manually made moxibustion patches are much better than those sold on the market. Let’s take a look together!

First, the webmaster talks about the basic principle of making moxa sticks. The moxibustion patch is made of mugwort leaves, but the leaves need to be processed, such as smashing the leaves of mugwort, beating them repeatedly, and finally preserving them as a mass. The moxa wool is the mass that is stuck together.

The moxibustion patch is made by wrapping and compacting the moxa wool. Whether it is made by a company or sold on the market, whether it is imported or expensive, it is basically to chop the leaves of mugwort with equipment, mix it with adhesive, and then pour it into a mold to form moxibustion patches under high pressure. Such moxibustion patches are not pure and are not made of pure moxa wool, and there is also glue in them, which seriously affects the therapeutic effect of the moxibustion patch.

Moxa wool does not need to be obtained by knocking the leaves of mugwort itself, you can buy it directly online. The difference is not very big, basically about 10-15 yuan per jin, and one jin of moxa wool can make many moxibustion patches, which can be used for a long time, which is truly cost-effective. However, moxa wool also has a proportion, such as 1:8, 1:16, which means that eight jin of mugwort leaves produce one jin of moxa wool. Generally, 16:1 is enough, and you can choose a similar one.

The next step is to make the moxibustion patch. First, find out the moxa wool, and you can use a piece of paper or a handkerchief to wrap it, which is easier to roll up.

Choose a piece of handkerchief paper and lay it flat on the table, then take some moxa wool and place it evenly on the handkerchief paper, like rolling a cigarette, and then roll it up slowly.

After rolling, you will find that the moxibustion patch made in this way is relatively loose, and the next operation is to fit it.

The process of fitting is to rub the moxibustion patch with both hands on an uneven desk, turning it forward while rubbing, gradually increasing the force, so that the moxibustion patch is tightly rolled.

However, it is necessary to pay attention that a well-fitted moxibustion patch is not easy to loosen, but the edge of the environmental protection paper packaging cannot stick to it, so that when we use it, the paper will fall off. At this time, we need to use strong glue to stick the edge of the paper.

Such a high cost-performance, excellent effect, and cost-effective moxibustion patch is ready! Hurry up and try it out!
