2. Since ancient times
People use moxa to prevent the plague!
Remind moxibustion friends again that the moxa smoking room can prevent the spread of the virus to a certain extent, and you can do it when you have time or not., people have been doing this since ancient times! In the history of Europe, various plagues (including influenza, etc.) that caused the death of more than one million or even ten million people, why did they not appear in ancient China? There are many factors here, Ai Ye or the most important contributors.
Smoky wormwood leaves have been widely used since ancient times to prevent plagues——
For example: Ge Hong, a famous medical scientist in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, introduced the use of mugwort in his “Elbow Reserve Emergency Prescription” The method of fumigation and disinfection to prevent the infection of plague: when the plague is popular, “the four corners of the patient’s bed with moxibustion are strong, so that they will not be infected“, and it is believed that using This method of preventing disease transmission, the effect is “excellent”.
Moxibustion has always played an important role in the prevention and treatment of plagues in ancient China
Since the Western Han Dynasty, there have been more than 300 plagues in Chinese history. Due to the effective prevention and diagnosis and treatment of traditional Chinese medicine, the spread of the epidemic has been controlled within a limited area and time. There has never been a tragedy like the Spanish flu, the Black Death in Europe, or the global plague that killed tens of millions of people in Chinese history.
It can be seen that traditional Chinese medicine has played a huge role in the prevention and control of plagues in China’s history. Prevention and treatment of modern diseases with natural remedies. When the SARS epidemic spread that year, traditional Chinese medicine once again played a great role in effectively controlling the development of the epidemic.
“Nei Jing” says: “The righteousness is stored in the body, and the evil cannot be dried.” It also reminds us that people should pay attention to health preservation in peacetime, adhere to moxibustion, supplement and protect the yang qi in our body, and this is the most time-saving and labor-saving way to protect our health.
Moxibustion can best replenish the yang qi of the human body. “The sun is the yang of the sky, and Ai is the yang of the earth.” According to modern scientific research , Wormwood is the most efficient plant for photosynthesis among all plants, and it can greatly absorb and convert solar heat during the growth process. During the process of moxibustion, a large amount of yang qi can be released to be absorbed by the human body, travel through the meridians, and reach the lesions, which can effectively eliminate the pathogenic qi of cold and dampness, and cure diseases and prolong life. The Chinese tradition of treating diseases with moxibustion has a history of thousands of years. “Bian Que Heart Book” said: “The method of protecting life, burning moxa is the first.” It is recorded in “Huangdi Neijing”: “If the medicine is not enough, the needle is not enough, it must be moxibustion.” It can be seen that the ancients were in the prevention of diseases. and treatment, especially the role of moxibustion.
Prevention and control records of moxibustion in ancient Chinese plagues< p>
Artemisia argyi smoke smoked to prevent disease has been widely used since ancient times. During the Dragon Boat Festival, every household will hang it on the door. Wormwood exorcises evil and prevents disease. Ge Hong, a famous medical scholar in the Jin Dynasty, introduced the method of preventing plague infection with argyi leaf tobacco in his book “Elbow Hou ͏ Prepare for Emergencies ͏”: When doing “Moxibustion with Moxa on each of the four corners of the patient’s bed is strong, so as not to get infected”, and ͏ also thinks that this method is used to prevent disease infection, and the effect is “excellent”.
Sun Simiao put forward: “Everyone who travels in Wu and Shu, often needs to moxibustion in two or three places on the body. , Warm malaria poisonous gas can’t reach people.” This is the use of moxibustion to prevent plague infection.

During SARS in 2003, none of the moxibustion practitioners in Beijing had a case of SARS, because moxibustion smoke was antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral. The pediatric ward of the hospital has used moxa leaf smoke to disinfect indoor air for many years, and the effect is ideal.
Especially for 1 case of critically ill children with Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection secondary to large-area crushing and contusion , In the absence of an isolation room, air disinfection was performed with argyi leaf fumigation, and there was no 1 case of secondary Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection in the same ward.
The burning smoke of moxa sticks has a good bactericidal effect on the air, and is also effective against pneumococcus, influenza bacillus and gold Influenza viruses such as Staphylococcus aureus have a good inhibitory effect.
The room needs to be ventilated after an hour of moxa smoking Avoid excessive concentration of moxa to cause throat discomfort and anger.
3. Is moxa cigarette harmful? About moxa, many Chinese people are controversial. In winter, moxibustion and moxa smoke are a big problem. Some people say that moxa is equal to second-hand smoke. Is this true? Is Aiyan harmful? Traditional moxibustion has smoke, which is an indisputable fact, and it is also acknowledged that when moxa sticks are burned, some other particles are sometimes produced. But to say that moxa is harmful to people is another matter, because whether any substance is harmful or not, it must be based on the amount. For example, arsenic is poisonous, but a small amount of arsenic can be used for medicine. Whether moxa smoke is harmful, it is necessary to see if some of the substances produced when it burns meet the standards of harming the human body. Some people use the method of detecting PM2.5 to detect the PM_(2.5) contained in the smoke produced when the moxa sticks are burned. It is necessary to know the damage of PM_(2.5) to the lungs It is irreversible. What about PM2.5 in moxa? Beijing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, an article titled “Moxibustion Clinic PM_(2.5) Physical Chemistry The doctoral dissertation of “Characteristics and Toxicology Research”, taking PM2.5 of moxa smoke as the research object, conducting research from four aspects, including air quality concentration, chemical composition, health risk, and toxicological effect in the clinic. The air quality concentration of PM2.5 in the moxibustion clinic was analyzed, the characteristics of trace elements were analyzed, the health risk of the exposed population in the moxibustion clinic was estimated, and the safety of moxa smoke PM2.5 was evaluated from the in vitro and in vivo toxicological experiments.
Constructing a health risk assessment model for PM2.5 exposed people in moxibustion clinics, and systematically evaluating the toxicology of moxa smoke particles effect. The results showed that the health effects and exposure risks of PM2.5 of moxa were less obvious, which verified the safety of moxa.
The smoke produced by pure moxa is beneficial and less harmful, or the harm is negligible. As for the possibility of lung cancer, it is unfounded worry. Staying away from second-hand smoke is the foundation of avoiding lung cancer.
4. Is moxa equal to second-hand smoke?
Moxa smoke is produced after the burning of moxa. energy carrier.
Moxa cigarettes have been widely used since ancient times, and there are many ancient literature records of the use of wormwood leaves for treatment and prevention disease.
Kong Yaozhi’s “Ai Fu” contains “Qi Ai is an acute disease, Excessive body smoke” records. Sun Simiao used fumigation as one of the main anti-epidemic methods in “Preparing for Emergencies”. It can be seen that at that time, the folk had the habit of using mugwort smoke to treat and prevent diseases.
Some people say that moxa is equal to second-hand smoke, which is very wrong. Excuse me, what is secondhand smoke? There is such an example: In a family, where the husband smokes and the wife does not smoke, the chance of the wife getting lung cancer is 1-3 times higher than that of the husband.
This is because the concentration of second-hand smoke is lower than that of first-hand smoke, but the types of toxins in second-hand smoke have increased.
There are more than 2,000 kinds of toxins in first-hand smoke, and more than 4,000 kinds of toxins in second-hand smoke. After being processed and metabolized by the human body, the toxins in smoke will also produce secondary toxins, which directly increases the types of toxins in secondhand smoke.
Although moxa and second-hand smoke are both smoke, they are very different! Moxibustion friends who usually do moxibustion at home, as long as they don’t deliberately inhale a lot of them, they basically don’t have to worry about what harm the moxibustion will bring to themselves, and they can rest assured of moxibustion!
5, moxa is a positive energy!

There is a saying in Huangdi Neijing: < /span>“The memory of righteousness, evil cannot be done””, and good moxa is itself a righteousness in the air. Studies have shown that it has the following effects:< /strong>
(1) Antibacterial
Moxa smoky on local herpes zoster, skin purulent infection, psoriasis, etc. have a good effect. The bactericidal effect of moxa is related to the length of smoking time. Long time, strong bactericidal effect, and gynecological odor, 2-3 times of moxibustion will also improve!
(2) Antifungal
When moxa is burning , The volatile oil contained in it will volatilize with the smoke, which is effective against common pathogenic bacteria such as pneumococcus, white and staphylococcus aureus, A and B streptococci, Neisseria, Escherichia coli, typhoid and paratyphoid bacillus, flex Shigella, Influenza, Proteus, etc. have bacteriostatic effect.
(3) Antivirus
Smoky Artemisia argyi alone against adenovirus, rhinovirus, influenza virus and parainfluenza virus It has an inhibitory effect. If there are cold patients in the family, moxibustion at Dazhui points and other acupoints with moxa sticks can recover faster. Moxa smoke will also inhibit the cold virus and reduce the chance of infecting family members with weak constitutions.
(4) Asthma and cough relief< /span>
A large number of pharmacological experiments have proved that the volatile oil of Artemisia argyi has better antiasthmatic and antitussive properties Among them, the anti-asthmatic effect is the most significant.
