Why is the older the moxa stick used for moxibustion, the better?

That's not true. There is a saying in the ancient book Mencius Li Lou that "seven years of illness and three years of love", which shows that the ancients only affirmed the quality of Ai Chenrong for three years, and did not say that the older the better. This is a historical summary of our ancestors. Three years is the time for dehydration and fermentation of wormwood leaves to produce essential oil, which can better preserve the essence of wormwood. Therefore, it is best to choose moxa sticks made of wormwood leaves that have been stored for 3 years for moxibustion, instead of blindly pursuing the so-called high-year Ai Chen.

The simplest and most direct thing is to look at the color. The Chen Fang process of Artemisia argyi gradually changed from turquoise to yellowish brown. The real three-year-old mugwort leaves are naturally transitional yellow-brown.

After separation, screening and purification, high-purity moxa will appear yellow. Note that the color mentioned here is generally khaki instead of golden yellow, and the golden moxa is probably artificially dyed. In addition, the color of wormwood produced in Ai Xin will be dark green or dark green.

If you want to learn good moxibustion techniques, you can spread the health of moxa sticks. Sichuan moxibustion is a very powerful brand in the industry. It is a comprehensive enterprise integrating wormwood planting, wormwood products production and export, moxibustion technical training and moxibustion hall joining chain. At present, more than 500 franchise stores in China are operating stably. The brand effect is produced, and entrepreneurs can get good returns without paying extra attention to publicity.
