How to extinguish moxibustion sticks

In fact, many people know that moxibustion can be performed by oneself. As long as we know the acupoints that need moxibustion and prepare various moxibustion sticks, we can do it ourselves. Moxibustion is actually not difficult at all. However, many people find that the moxa sticks are very difficult to extinguish during moxibustion. Sometimes, even a big fight is necessary. So, how do you extinguish the moxa stick?

Some friends may think of using water to extinguish moxa sticks. I have also tried this method. Using water can easily extinguish the burning moxa sticks. However, when the moxa stick is needed again, it is difficult to light or easily goes out after being lit. This is because the moxa sticks are not completely dry after coming into contact with water, so they are difficult to ignite. Even if it is lit, it can easily go out. If it is a newly opened moxa stick and it is difficult to light, you can consider whether it is due to moisture. Dry it in the sun and try to light it after it is dry.

Today I will introduce to my friends who love moxibustion how to extinguish fire with moxa sticks. In this article, the author contains multiple methods of extinguishing moxa sticks, which can help you extinguish moxa sticks easily.

1. Use a stainless steel moxa stick fire extinguisher

Insert the moxa stick into the stainless steel moxa stick fire extinguisher and insert it to the bottom. Then hold the fire extinguisher with one hand, and use the other hand to vigorously rotate the moxa stick back and forth until it is completely extinguished and then take it out. Please make sure the moxa stick is completely extinguished to avoid accidents.

2. Use wooden moxa stick fire extinguisher

The fire extinguishing method of this fire extinguisher is the same as that of the stainless steel moxa stick fire extinguisher. These two methods of extinguishing moxa sticks are the same, just the materials are different. One is stainless steel and the other is wooden. When using, the specifications of the moxa sticks should be used according to the diameter specifications of the fire extinguishing port of the fire extinguisher.

3. Use glass bottles to extinguish moxa sticks

At home, wash and dry the cans, beverage bottles, and other glass or ceramic bottles you use. The height of the bottle should be higher than the length of the moxa stick. The purpose of doing this is: even if the remaining length of the moxa stick is long, it can still be put into the bottle.

After putting the moxa stick in the bottle, tighten the lid and wait until the moxa stick is completely extinguished before taking it out.

It should be noted that when placing the burning moxa stick in a glass bottle for the first time, be careful to avoid cracking the bottle due to excessive temperature. If you have collected moxa sticks and ashes, you can put some of them at the bottom of the bottle, and then put the burning moxa stick in, so you don't have to worry about cracking the glass bottle.

4. Use wine bottles to extinguish moxa stick fires

If you have a bottle of wine, don't throw it away. You can clean the wine bottle, dry it, and then insert the burning moxa stick into the bottle. The other operating steps are the same as those for stainless steel and wooden moxa stick fire extinguishers.

5. The rustic method of extinguishing fire is using moxa sticks

What is the Tutu method? How to extinguish the fire of moxa sticks? This method is to clean and dry all the bottles and cans that can be used at home, and then use them to put out the fire with moxa sticks. If some bottles are missing lids or bottle bodies, etc., they can be integrated together and used according to the specifications of the bottles and jars. This method of extinguishing moxa sticks can be said to be a reflection of what it means to make the best use of everything.

6. Use scissors or a blade to cut off the burning part of the moxa stick

Use scissors to neatly cut off the root of the burning moxa stick, or use a blade to cut it off from the root of the burning moxa stick. Of course, this method will involve some waste. Nowadays, everyone advocates green, saving and many other good slogans to follow. In order to respond and put them into action, the author suggests choosing a special stainless steel moxa stick fire extinguisher to extinguish the fire.

The principle of extinguishing moxa stick:

The method of using stainless steel and wooden fire extinguishers to extinguish moxa sticks is a method of extinguishing the fire directly at the source of the fire. Use scissors to cut off the burning part. This method of extinguishing fire is to cut off the combustible source. Another method is to let the moxa stick burn all the oxygen in a fixed space, and finally the moxa stick will go out due to lack of oxygen. Here I would like to remind you again try not to use water to extinguish moxa sticks to avoid affecting their use.
