Process for preparing moxa sticks

Abstract

The invention provides a process for preparing moxa sticks. The process comprises the steps that in the first step, moxa is prepared with moxa leaves, and in the second step, moxa sticks are prepared, wherein a flame retardant layer is arranged around the moxa sticks, and the material of the flame retardant layer is one of food, medicine, pharmaceutical ingredients, and the flame retardants, or their mixture, for example the powder made from traditional Chinese medicine, is made into a thin pancake shape and wrapped around the moxa sticks. The prepared moxa sticks have the advantages of large heat applying surface for the purpose of improving the moxibustion effect, slow burning speed for the purpose of saving the moxa raw materials, controllable burning speed, less smoke, and hardness and compactness.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a process for preparing moxa sticks, in particular to a process for preparing moxa sticks for traditional Chinese medicine moxibustion. Background technique [0002] Moxibustion is a method of disease prevention and health care in traditional Chinese medicine that uses moxa leaves to make moxa or moxa sticks, and ignites the moxa sticks or moxa sticks to smoke and roast specific parts of the skin. The preparation method of the moxa stick is to roll up the moxa with mulberry paper or tissue paper and roll it into a cylindrical shape, and the medicine powder is mixed with the moxa evenly, and then rolled up with mulberry paper or tissue paper. The moxa made from pure moxa without medicine is called Qing moxa, and the moxa containing medicine is called medicated moxa. At present, there are two commonly used methods for rolling moxa sticks, manual rolling and mechanical rolling. The main procedures are: put a certain amount of mox...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0008] 3. The smoke generated per unit time is large

[0010] 4. The burning speed of moxa sticks is uncontrollable

[0013] In the rolling process of moxa sticks, the last process is to apply glue on the paper or paste that can stick the paper to the glue, such as egg white, or the paste made from bletilla striata and glutinous rice, and these glues may have adhesive properties. The paste or ointment that acts on it burns slower or does not burn than moxa, thus playing the role of flame retardancy. Therefore, when the moxa stick is burning, the side with glue, paste or paste burns slowly, while the other part burns fast. Therefore, partial burning is formed, which makes the heating surface uneven and affects the effect

[0014] 6. The rolled moxa sticks are soft

[0018] 2. Except for the wrapped paper, the rest of the moxa sticks (including clearing moxa sticks and medicinal moxa sticks) are made of the same material and evenly distributed, so they burn at the same speed under the same oxygen supply conditions. Oxygen is more than the center, so it causes the moxa stick to burn faster around

[0019] 3. The moxa can only be squeezed in the groove, but cannot form an effective secondary extrusion when rolling
