Is it better to use clean moxa sticks or medicinal moxa sticks?

Moxa sticks are a common plant in our lives. They have great medicinal value. Especially in the process of moxibustion, moxa sticks are often used for conditioning. Some people also use moxa sticks to fumigate the body. It can improve physical condition, enhance the body's immune function, and strengthen physical fitness. However, moxa sticks are divided into clean moxa sticks and medicinal moxa sticks. The effects and functions of the two moxa sticks are somewhat different. So what is the difference?

The difference between medicinal moxa sticks and clean moxa sticks:

In fact, there is a big difference between medicinal moxa sticks and pure moxa sticks. The so-called pure moxa sticks are generally called old moxa sticks by some people, and green moxa sticks by others! Medicinal moxa sticks are made by adding some medicines to pure moxa sticks, which are then rolled into moxa sticks.

Is it better to use medicinal moxa sticks or clean moxa sticks?

Regarding this question, I actually cannot give an accurate answer, because clear moxa sticks are usually universal, while medicated moxa sticks are usually medicated, which are more targeted! However, medicated moxa sticks are usually more expensive! In addition, if you use medicated moxa sticks, you usually have to check whether you have any drug allergies, etc.

Many people may worry that medicated moxa sticks are not good. In fact, there is nothing wrong with them. Since they are produced by regular manufacturers, the prescriptions and the like must be more professional! Because moxa sticks themselves are universal, and the effect of adding medicine will indeed be better.

Now more and more people like moxibustion, but there are many types of moxa sticks, including medicated moxa sticks, Qi moxa sticks, and Qing moxa sticks. Many people don’t know which one is better, medicated moxa sticks or Qing moxa sticks, or which one is better, Qing moxa sticks or Qi moxa sticks. Today I will share with you some experience and knowledge in this regard.

Moxibustion: moxa sticks or Qi Ai:

Many people may be confused about this issue because there are too many types of moxa sticks used for moxibustion. The so-called medicinal moxa sticks are moxa wool with medicine added and then rolled into moxa sticks!! Medicinal moxa sticks are usually more targeted. Speaking of Qi Ai, many people are familiar with it. Qi Ai has been famous since ancient times.

But to be honest, I have never used Qi Ai very much. This is not to slander Qi Ai, but I don’t use Qi Ai for the following reasons. Of course, these views represent my personal opinion.

According to reliable sources, most of the moxa sticks shipped from Qichun are not Qi Ai. Some moxa sticks are shipped from Nanyang, and then become Qi Ai after arriving in Qichun. No one can tell the real Qi Ai from the fake one. After all, the raw materials are all mugwort leaves, and after being crushed they are all moxa wool, which even experts cannot tell the difference from the other.

2. To be honest, Qichun's wool beating technology is relatively backward. To give a simple example, taking Qi Ai's competitor Nanyang Ai as an example, Nanyang's moxa wool of about 8:1 can already catch up with Qichun's so-called 25:1 or even 30:1, and the price is very affordable. This is why I have always used Nanyang Ai. Affordable and not expensive.

3. Of course, Nanyang mugwort also has many disadvantages, such as false labeling ratios or selling inferior products as good ones, and even some counterfeit products. Of course, counterfeit products can be found all over the country, so whether you choose Qi mugwort or Nanyang mugwort, you must choose mugwort sticks from regular manufacturers.

After all, moxibustion is for regulating the body, not for defrauding people with fake moxa sticks.

Which is better, Qi Ai or Qing Ai Tiao?

There is no comparison. Qi Ai is also made of pure moxa, and Qing Ai Tiao is also made of pure moxa, without adding any medicinal ingredients, etc., so it is OK to use Qi Ai or Qing Ai Tiao. After all, the raw materials are all moxa leaves. Who can say which one is good and which one is not?

It can be seen from the literature that moxibustion has a biphasic effect in regulating the human immune function, and it is this biphasic regulation that maintains the dynamic balance of yin and yang in the human body. When the body's immune function is normal and yin and yang are in a balanced state, various diseases will be cured. Therefore, the clinical effect of moxibustion in treating liver disease is also demonstrated.
