Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of traditional Chinese medicine, and more specifically, to an umbilical moxibustion composition and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] According to modern Chinese medicine theory, the navel is an important acupuncture point with a curative effect. It is called "Shenque", which is the main hub of the meridians and the gathering place of meridian qi. It can control all the meridians of the human body. When the body's qi, blood, yin and yang are out of balance and disease occurs, stimulating or applying medicine to the Shenque point can adjust the balance of yin and yang and promote the smooth flow of qi and blood, thus achieving the effect of eliminating evil and curing diseases.

[0003] Umbilical moxibustion is a kind of therapy in traditional Chinese medicine, which is to apply moxibustion on the navel through medicine. It takes advantage of the thin skin, high sensitivity and fast absorption of the navel skin, and uses the pure Yang heat of moxa fire to penetrate the skin and stimulate the tissue to harmonize the qi and blood, dredge the meridians, and thus achieve the purpose of disease prevention and health. There are two methods of umbilical moxibustion. The first is direct moxibustion with moxa cones. The specific operation is to suspend the burning moxa cone directly above the navel (about 1 cm) and apply moxibustion until you feel a warm feeling. The second is moxibustion of Shenque through ginger. The specific operation is to puncture several holes in the ginger slices, cover the navel, light the moxa cone and peck the ginger slices for moxibustion until you feel warm and comfortable.

[0004] The pace of life in modern society is accelerating. If people have irregular diet and lifestyle in their daily life, they are prone to cold and dampness, which manifests as drowsiness, fatigue, sweating, fear of cold, cold hands and feet, loss of appetite, acne on the skin, greasy face, thick white tongue coating, limb swelling, etc. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that cold and dampness include exogenous cold and dampness and endogenous cold and dampness. Exogenous cold and dampness is the feeling of external dampness, which leads to obstruction of qi and blood circulation. Endogenous cold and dampness means that cold and dampness are trapped in the body and damage spleen yang, or spleen and kidney yang deficiency causes cold and dampness to be unable to be discharged from the body. Exogenous cold and dampness will cause pain in joints, tendons and bones. Endogenous cold and dampness will cause fear of cold, cold limbs, abdominal pain and diarrhea. Modern traditional Chinese medicine has launched a series of moxibustion methods to treat cold and dampness symptoms.

[0005] The prior art "a Chinese medicine moxibustion product for rheumatism, its preparation method and its use method" discloses a Chinese medicine moxibustion product for rheumatism, including moxibustion product powder and Qi moxa floss, the mass ratio of moxibustion product powder and Qi moxa floss is 1:4, and the moxibustion product powder includes the following components in parts by weight: 4-8 parts of processed Chuanwu, 4-8 parts of processed Caowu, 2-4 parts of asarum, 7-13 parts of cassia twig, 4-8 parts of frankincense, 4-8 parts of myrrh, 7-13 parts of striata, 7-13 parts of clematis, 4-8 parts of notopterygium, 7-13 parts of angelica, 4-8 parts of angelica dahurica, 4-8 parts of Chuanxiong, 7-13 parts of Millettia reticulata, 4-8 parts of dried ginger, 7-13 parts of radix striatae and 4-8 parts of safflower. Through the mutual compatibility of multiple Chinese herbal medicines, targeted treatment is carried out on local joints, directly reaching the diseased area, increasing local blood circulation, so as to achieve the functions of removing dampness and cold, promoting qi and blood circulation, and warming the meridians and dredge the collaterals.

[0006] Prior art "A preparation for moxibustion and its preparation method" discloses a preparation for moxibustion, which is mainly prepared from the following raw materials by mass: 40-100 parts of moxa, 1-3 parts of honeysuckle, 1-6 parts of frankincense, 1-3 parts of chrysanthemum, 2-8 parts of cassia twig, 1-3 parts of Xanthium sibiricum, 1-6 parts of cassia seed, 1-6 parts of red peony root, 1-3 parts of bezoar, 0.5-2 parts of dandelion, 1-3 parts of mulberry leaf and 1-3 parts of Artemisia annua. It has the effects of eliminating inflammation, removing blood stasis and swelling, removing toxins and dampness, relaxing muscles and activating blood circulation, relieving heat and detoxification and relieving itching.

[0007] It can be seen from the above-mentioned prior art that the existing moxibustion formula adds different Chinese medicinal raw materials to moxa to form a new formula for use in moxibustion, but its therapeutic effect on cold and dampness symptoms is not significant. Summary of the invention

[0008] The present invention aims to overcome the defect that the moxibustion formula in the prior art has no significant effect in expelling cold and removing dampness, and provides a navel moxibustion composition, a navel moxibustion moxa stick containing the navel moxibustion composition, and a navel moxibustion set.

[0009] Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for preparing a navel moxibustion composition and a navel moxibustion moxa stick.

[0010] Another object of the present invention is to provide an application of the navel moxibustion composition.

[0011] In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows:

[0012] A umbilical moxibustion composition comprises the following components calculated by weight: 10-15 parts of mugwort, 10-15 parts of gentiana macrophylla, 20-25 parts of trichosanthes, 10-15 parts of saffron vine, 10-15 parts of aconite, 10-15 parts of aconite and 600-1275 parts of beeswax.

[0013] Preferably, the umbilical moxibustion composition includes the following components calculated by weight: 13 parts of Artemisia annua, 13 parts of Gentiana macrophylla, 22 parts of Radix Trichosanthis, 14 parts of Sargentodoxa chinensis, 15 parts of Achyranthes tetrandra, and 770 parts of beeswax.

[0014] Preferably, the wormwood is aged wormwood that has been preserved for 3 to 5 years. The fire of aged wormwood moxibustion is "warm but not dry, moist and can open the meridians". When burning, the heat of aged wormwood is mild, can penetrate the skin, reach deep, last for a long time, and has strong efficacy. New wormwood smells strongly irritating, and the moxibustion fire is fierce and there is a burning sensation, while the moxibustion of aged wormwood is relatively gentle, the moxibustion sensation is obvious, and the effect is good. Old wormwood contains less volatile oil, burns slowly, has a mild fire, and has less smoke after burning. The wormwood oil has completely evaporated and will not cause harm to the human body. It also has good permeability and the wormwood ash is not easy to fall off. However, new wormwood does not have these advantages. The new wormwood has a strong smell, contains more volatile oil, burns quickly, has a strong fire, has a lot of smoke after burning, and the wormwood ash is easy to fall off, which is easy to hurt the skin and blood vessels. The volatile oil in the new wormwood is not completely evaporated, which not only cannot achieve the therapeutic effect, but also may cause certain harm to the human body, such as causing the patient to get angry.

[0015] The present invention unexpectedly found that by selecting several medicinal materials such as four-leng bone grass from traditional Chinese medicine for compatibility, a significant effect of one plus one being greater than two was achieved.

[0016] According to the traditional Chinese medicine pharmacopoeia, mugwort has the effects of dispelling cold and relieving pain, removing dampness and relieving itching; Gentiana macrophylla has the functions of dispelling wind, dampness and cold; Radix Trichosanthis has the functions of clearing heat, purging fire and detoxifying; Sargentodoxae has the functions of dispelling wind, dampness, reducing swelling and relieving pain; Herba Scutellariae has the functions of dispelling wind, dampness, activating blood circulation and unblocking collaterals; Beeswax has the functions of antibacterial and anti-inflammatory, detoxifying and relieving pain. However, there are no reports or revelations in the Chinese medicine pharmacopoeia and other works that the above-mentioned drugs can be used in combination.

[0017] The present invention innovatively adopts beeswax as the matrix material, on the one hand, fully exerts the benefits of the main components of beeswax to the human body, such as esters formed by alkanols and alkanoic acids (70%-72%), free fatty acids (14%-15%), hydrocarbons mainly composed of saturated hydrocarbons (about 12%), some free fatty alcohols, water and minerals, and a small amount of flavonoids, vitamins, pigments, etc.; on the other hand, beeswax is used as a solvent to fully extract and absorb the effective ingredients in each component (for example, volatile oils in Gentiana macrophylla (hexanal, propylbenzene, limonene, palmitic acid, etc.), amino acids, polysaccharides and saponins in Radix Trichosanthis, etc.), and during the combustion process, the effective ingredients present in the beeswax can be volatilized and absorbed by human skin when preheated (before combustion), thereby reducing direct combustion and destroying and reducing the effective ingredients; further, beeswax has the important property of being able to solidify and fix into a fixed shape at room temperature, and can be prepared into a hollow tubular structure.

[0018] A method for preparing an umbilical moxibustion composition comprises the following steps:

[0019] S1. By weight, the wormwood, qinjiao, tianhuafen, spatholobus and four-legged ajuga were crushed into powder, and sieved to obtain wormwood powder, qinjiao powder, tianhuafen powder, spatholobus powder and four-legged ajuga powder;

[0020] S2. Take wormwood powder, Gentiana macrophylla powder, Radix Trichosanthis powder, Caulis Sargentodoxae powder and Akebia serrata powder and mix them evenly to obtain a mixed powder;

[0021] S3. Put the mixed powder and beeswax into a container, heat at a preset temperature for a preset time, and stir evenly to obtain a umbilical moxibustion composition.

[0022] Preferably, the mesh number of the sieve is 600-800 meshes.

[0023] Preferably, the preset temperature is 65-70° C., and the preset time is 8-10 hours.

[0024] A umbilical moxibustion moxa stick comprises an umbilical moxibustion composition, wherein the umbilical moxibustion moxa stick is a hollow tubular structure.

[0025] Preferably, the inner diameter of the umbilical moxibustion moxa stick is 13 to 15 mm. If the inner diameter of the umbilical moxibustion moxa stick is too large, it is easy to spray fire downwards; if the inner diameter is too small, ash residue is easy to block the nozzle.

[0026] Preferably, the length of the navel moxibustion moxa stick is 20 to 30 cm.

[0027] Preferably, the wall thickness of the navel moxibustion moxa stick is 1 to 3 mm. Further preferably, the wall thickness of the navel moxibustion moxa stick is 2 mm.

[0028] A method for preparing an umbilical moxibustion moxa stick comprises the following steps:

[0029] The umbilical moxibustion composition at a temperature of 60 to 65° C. is evenly applied to the surface of the moxa leaf paper, the moxa leaf paper is rolled up tightly into a hollow tube, and dried to obtain the umbilical moxibustion moxa stick.

[0030] Preferably, the moxa paper is made of moxa leaves, which has better therapeutic effects during moxibustion than ordinary mulberry paper and cotton paper.

[0031] A umbilical moxibustion kit comprises an umbilical moxibustion moxa stick and an umbilical moxibustion device, wherein the umbilical moxibustion device comprises a placement portion, a base and a barrier portion arranged from top to bottom; an open cavity is provided at the bottom of the base, an opening is provided at the top of the base, and the opening is connected to the cavity; the placement portion is used to place the umbilical moxibustion moxa stick, the placement portion is provided with a through cavity, and the through cavity of the placement portion is connected to the cavity of the base through the opening; a barrier portion is provided in the cavity of the base, and a through hole is provided on the barrier portion.

[0032] Preferably, the present invention provides a method for using an umbilical moxibustion kit, comprising the following steps: aiming the umbilical moxibustion device at the navel (Shenque point), igniting one end of the umbilical moxibustion moxa stick, and inserting it into the umbilical moxibustion device, forming a closed space between one end of the umbilical moxibustion moxa stick and the umbilical moxibustion device, the burning of the umbilical moxibustion moxa stick generates negative pressure, causing the medicinal smoke to flow back, the medicinal smoke flows from top to bottom and contacts with the skin of the navel, and the effective ingredients in the medicinal smoke penetrate into the human body through the skin to play a role in expelling cold and dampness from the human body.

[0033] When the moxa stick for navel moxibustion burns, the temperature of the beeswax near the burning part rises, and the effective ingredients dissolved in the beeswax can evaporate quickly and completely due to the heat. Due to the negative pressure, they flow back along with the medicinal smoke and come into contact with the skin of the navel to exert the therapeutic effect.

[0034] The medicinal smoke contains a variety of effective ingredients beneficial to the human body, such as volatile oil (hexanal, propylbenzene, limonene, palmitic acid, etc.) in Gentiana macrophylla, amino acids, polysaccharides and saponins in Radix Trichosanthis.

[0035] Preferably, 2 to 3 moxibustion sticks are applied each time, each for about 25 minutes, once a day, and a course of treatment is ten times.

[0036] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0037] 1. The present invention crushes mugwort, gentiana macrophylla, radix trichosanthis, spatholobi, spatholobi, aconiti dorsi and beeswax into powder and mixes them evenly to prepare an umbilical moxibustion composition, and applies it to umbilical moxibustion moxa sticks. The above raw materials are mixed according to weight ratio to prepare umbilical moxibustion moxa sticks, and after the umbilical moxibustion moxa sticks are ignited, the medicine penetrates into the human skin in the form of smoke, which can quickly expel cold and dampness from the human body. Compared with the use of traditional pure moxa sticks, the efficiency of the umbilical moxibustion moxa sticks provided by the present invention is increased by 30%, which shows that the umbilical moxibustion moxa sticks provided by the present invention have achieved a significant enhancement of the therapeutic effect of the umbilical moxibustion moxa sticks in expelling cold and dampness.

[0038] 2. In the preparation method of the umbilical moxibustion moxa stick provided by the present invention, the umbilical moxibustion composition at a temperature of 60 to 65°C is evenly applied to the surface of the moxa paper to obtain the moxa paper soaked with the umbilical moxibustion composition, and the moxa paper soaked with the umbilical moxibustion composition is rolled into a hollow tube, and dried to obtain the umbilical moxibustion moxa stick. Compared with the method of rolling moxa into a cylindrical shape for burning in the prior art, the umbilical moxibustion composition provided by the present invention is fully infiltrated in the moxa paper, and can be completely burned during burning and release the smoky umbilical moxibustion composition to act on the surface of human skin.

[0039] 3. The present invention innovatively proposes the use of umbilical moxibustion moxa sticks and umbilical moxibustion devices in combination. When the umbilical moxibustion moxa sticks burn, negative pressure is generated inside the closed cavity, causing the medicinal smoke to flow back. The medicinal smoke flows from top to bottom and comes into contact with the skin of the navel. The effective ingredients in the medicinal smoke penetrate into the human body through the skin to play a role in expelling cold and dampness from the human body.

[0040] 4. The present invention innovatively uses beeswax as an effective ingredient, solvent and plasticizer. On the one hand, as a solvent, the effective ingredients in each component are extracted by boiling in the process of preparing the umbilical moxibustion moxa stick and dissolved in beeswax; on the other hand, when the umbilical moxibustion moxa stick burns, the temperature of the beeswax near the burning part rises, and the effective ingredients dissolved in the beeswax can be quickly and completely volatilized by heat, and due to negative pressure, they flow back with the medicinal smoke and contact with the skin of the navel to exert the therapeutic effect.

[0061]

[0062]

[0063] Example 7

[0064] A umbilical moxibustion set comprises an umbilical moxibustion moxa stick and an umbilical moxibustion device.

[0065] like Figure 1 As shown, the umbilical moxibustion device includes a placement portion 2, a base 3 and a barrier portion 4 arranged from top to bottom; an open cavity is provided at the bottom of the base 3, an opening is provided at the top of the base 3, and the opening is connected to the cavity; the placement portion 2 is used to place the umbilical moxibustion moxa stick 1, and the placement portion 2 is provided with a through cavity, and the through cavity of the placement portion 2 is connected to the cavity of the base 3 through the opening; a barrier portion 4 is provided in the cavity of the base 2, and a through hole 5 is provided on the barrier portion 4.

[0066] During the implementation of this embodiment, the base 3 and the baffle part 4 of the umbilical moxibustion device are first placed in cooperation on the part requiring physical therapy, the base 3 is fitted with the physical therapy part, and the burning umbilical moxibustion moxa stick 1 is placed on the placement part 2. When the umbilical moxibustion moxa stick 1 is burning, since the umbilical moxibustion moxa stick 1 is provided with a through cavity, the burning of the umbilical moxibustion moxa stick 1 will absorb the oxygen in the cavity of the base 3 through the through cavity of the placement part 2 and burn, and a pressure difference is formed between the inside and the outside of the base 3, so that the smoke generated by the umbilical moxibustion moxa stick 1 is sucked into the cavity of the base 3, thereby improving the physical therapy effect of moxibustion.

[0067] In the implementation process, the baffle 4 includes a baffle plate, and the through hole 5 is arranged on the baffle plate. The edge of the baffle plate extends downward to form a first protrusion that fits the inner wall of the base 3, and the bottom of the first protrusion is flush with the bottom of the base 3. The edge of the baffle plate extends upward to form a second protrusion that fits the inner wall of the base 3.

[0068] The barrier 4 is sleeved inside the base 3. When in use, it is sleeved and placed on the treatment site. The baffle of the barrier 4 is used to block the ashes produced by combustion. The through hole 5 facilitates the flow of smoke. The first protrusion is flush with the bottom of the base 3 to avoid air leakage from the base 3 due to the first protrusion, which makes the treatment effect poor. The second protrusion is provided to have a certain capacity to hold ashes, so as to prevent the ashes from sliding onto the treatment site or other places when the ashes are taken out and poured out after use.

[0069] The through hole 5 includes a first through hole 501 and a second through hole 502, wherein the diameter of the first through hole 501 is smaller than that of the second through hole 502. The first through holes 501 are evenly distributed in the center of the barrier 4, and the second through holes 502 are evenly distributed around the first through holes 501. The barrier 4 extends upward from the first through hole 501 to form a third protrusion.

[0070] The through hole 5 is divided into a first through hole 501 area and a second through hole 502 area, wherein the first through hole 501 area is arranged at the center of the through hole 5, when the ashes fall through the through cavity of the placement portion 2, the smaller first through hole 501 is better able to block the falling ashes, and the larger second through holes 502 are arranged around the first through hole 501 area for the circulation of smoke, and the third protrusion extending upward from the first through hole 501 area is used to hold the ashes to prevent the ashes from sliding onto the treatment area or other places when the ashes are taken out and poured out after use.

[0071] The placement portion 2 is a tubular structure, with a through cavity that is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom.

[0072] The umbilical moxibustion moxa stick 1 is a tubular structure, and the cavity of the placement part 2 is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom. The umbilical moxibustion moxa stick 1 placed in the cavity will be stuck instead of sliding through the cavity of the placement part 2.

[0073] Handle portions 6 are provided on both sides of the base 3 .

[0074] The handle 6 can be used to take the umbilical moxibustion device, and the umbilical moxibustion device can also be fixed on the treatment site by binding the handles 6 on both sides.

[0075] The base 3 is a trapezoidal cylindrical structure, and the sides of the trapezoidal cylindrical structure are arc-shaped sides.

[0076] The contact surface between the base 3 of the umbilical moxibustion device and the treatment site is circular, which reduces air leakage caused by corners.

[0077] During the implementation of this embodiment, the baffle part 4 is first placed on the part that requires physical therapy, and then the base 3 is sleeved to fit the physical therapy part, and the tubular umbilical moxibustion moxa stick 1 is inserted into the through cavity of the placement part 2, and the umbilical moxibustion moxa stick 1 is ignited. When the umbilical moxibustion moxa stick 1 is burning, since the umbilical moxibustion moxa stick 1 is provided with a through cavity, the burning of the umbilical moxibustion moxa stick 1 will absorb the oxygen in the cavity of the base 3 through the through cavity of the placement part 2 and burn, and a pressure difference is formed between the inside and the outside of the base 3, so that the smoke generated by the umbilical moxibustion moxa stick 1 is sucked into the cavity of the base 3, so that the physical therapy effect of moxibustion is better, and the ashes that fall into the cavity of the base 3 through the placement part 2 when the umbilical moxibustion moxa stick 1 burns are blocked by the baffle to avoid burns.

With the help of a cylindrical mold with a diameter of 13 mm, the moxa paper soaked with the umbilical moxibustion composition is rolled up into a hollow tube. After drying, a umbilical moxibustion moxa stick with a length of 28 cm, an inner diameter of 13 mm, and an outer diameter of 15 mm is obtained.

[0096] The umbilical moxibustion moxa stick cannot maintain a hollow tube shape, so it is rolled into a hollow tube shape with the help of a rope or the like when in use, and the prepared umbilical moxibustion moxa stick is subjected to relevant clinical experimental tests.

[0097] The umbilical moxibustion moxa stick prepared by the present invention is tested in clinical experiments by the following method, which is as follows:

[0098] (1) Clinical trials

[0099] 1) Treatment effect experiment

[0100] In view of the fact that the temperature in the preparation method in the above comparative example 6 was too low, the umbilical moxibustion moxa stick could not be successfully prepared. Therefore, the umbilical moxibustion moxa sticks prepared in Examples 1 to 6 of the present invention and Comparative Examples 1 to 5, 7 to 8 and 14 and the blank pure moxa stick (solid moxa stick formed by wrapping moxa wool with cotton paper, an existing commercial product) were selected for clinical experiments.

[0101] The present invention seeks 750 rheumatic patients for experimentation, and the rheumatic patients show symptoms such as cold hands and feet, joint pain, etc. The 750 rheumatic patients are divided into 15 groups, each with 50 people. The navel moxibustion moxa sticks prepared by Examples 1 to 6 and Comparative Examples 1 to 5, 7 to 8 and 14 of the present invention and the blank pure moxa sticks are used for moxibustion for ten consecutive days, and moxibustion is performed for 1.5 hours every day. The test results are shown in Table 6:

[0102] The present invention adopts a method for using an umbilical moxibustion kit, comprising the following steps:

[0103] Aim the umbilical moxibustion device at the navel (Shenque point), light one end of the umbilical moxibustion moxa stick, and insert it into the umbilical moxibustion device. A closed space is formed between one end of the umbilical moxibustion moxa stick and the umbilical moxibustion device. The burning of the umbilical moxibustion moxa stick generates negative pressure, causing the medicinal smoke to flow back. The medicinal smoke flows from top to bottom and comes into contact with the skin of the navel. The effective ingredients in the medicinal smoke penetrate into the human body through the skin to play a role in expelling cold and dampness from the human body.

[0104] Table 6

[0105]

[0106]

[0107] As can be seen from Table 1, the final effective rate of the umbilical moxibustion moxa stick prepared in Example 5 of the present invention is relatively high, reaching 92%. The final effective rate of the umbilical moxibustion moxa stick prepared in Example 4 is 90%, which is relatively close to Example 5. Analysis of Examples 1 to 5 shows that with the continuous increase in the content of the components of the umbilical moxibustion composition, the final effective rate shows a trend of first increasing and then decreasing. On the other hand, in Comparative Examples 1 to 5, when a certain medicinal material is missing in the formula of the umbilical moxibustion composition, the effective rate of the umbilical moxibustion moxa stick finally prepared is between 60% and 70%. It can be seen that each material in the umbilical moxibustion moxa stick is a key component that ultimately exerts its therapeutic effect, and none of them can be missing. There are some differences in the efficacy of each component. For example, mugwort has the effects of dispelling cold and relieving pain, removing dampness and relieving itching, Gentiana macrophylla has the functions of dispelling wind, dampness and cold, Radix Trichosanthis has the functions of clearing heat, purging fire and detoxifying, Caulis Sargentodoxae has the functions of dispelling wind, dampness, reducing swelling and relieving pain, Herba Silengjingu has the functions of dispelling wind, dampness, activating blood circulation and unblocking collaterals, and beeswax has the functions of antibacterial and anti-inflammatory, detoxification and analgesia. Although the action mechanisms of each individual component are inconsistent, after mixing them together in a certain proportion, the synergistic effect can further optimize the therapeutic effect of dispelling cold and dampness.

[0108] In comparative example 7, the boiling time during preparation was insufficient, so that the effective ingredients constituting the moxa stick formula could not be fully extracted and melted into the beeswax, and were lost during the combustion process. In comparative example 8, the temperature was too high, which, on the one hand, caused the beeswax to deteriorate, and on the other hand, the high temperature reduced the content of the volatile components in the formula, so that the medicinal effect could not be fully exerted.

[0109] It can be seen from Comparative Example 14 that when beeswax is not used, distilled water cannot fully extract the effective ingredients on the one hand, and on the other hand, the umbilical moxibustion moxa stick burns quickly, and the effective ingredients are quickly burned out and cannot fully contact with human skin and be absorbed. Furthermore, it is impossible to prepare it into a hollow tube and shape it.

[0110] The blank case used pure moxa sticks in the traditional method, with an effective rate of only 60%, and the therapeutic effect on patients is far inferior to that of Example 1 of the present invention. It can be seen that the umbilical moxibustion moxa stick provided by the present invention is faster than traditional moxa sticks in terms of effectiveness, significant therapeutic effect, stable performance, and immediate effect on cold and dampness symptoms, which can greatly improve the efficacy of umbilical moxibustion.

[0111] 2) Combustion experiment

[0112] The moxa sticks of different diameters according to Example 1 of the present invention and Comparative Examples 9 to 13 were subjected to a combustion test experiment, and the results are shown in Table 7.

[0113] Table 7

[0114]

[0115] It can be seen from Table 7 that when the umbilical moxibustion composition is used to prepare umbilical moxibustion moxa sticks, if the diameter of the umbilical moxibustion moxa sticks is too large or too small, it will affect its combustion effect. When the diameter of the umbilical moxibustion moxa stick is too small, the ash produced by the combustion is easy to block the moxa stick, thereby hindering the further combustion of the moxa stick; when the diameter of the umbilical moxibustion moxa stick is too large, it will cause the oxygen content in the diameter to be too high, causing excessive firepower, resulting in fire from the tube mouth, and there will be a risk of burning the human skin surface. The experiment finally proved that when the inner diameter of the umbilical moxibustion moxa stick is 13-15mm, the umbilical moxibustion moxa stick has the best combustion effect.

[0116] (2) Clinical Cases

[0117] Mr. Liu, 45 years old, had cold hands and feet, needed to wear long clothes and long pants in summer, had cold wind on his forehead, and often caught colds. He used the umbilical moxibustion set prepared in Example 1 of the present invention to perform moxibustion once a day, 3 moxibustion sticks at a time. After ten days of continuous moxibustion, the symptom of cold wind on the forehead disappeared, and after two months of continuous moxibustion, the cold symptoms disappeared.
