The synergistic effect of each component retains the characteristics of traditional Tibetan medicine while also meeting the requirements of modern moxibustion for mild smoke, combustion stability, and slow release of effective components. Elm bark adhesive powder, as a natural binder, imparts good shaping properties and uniform burning rate to the incense sticks during subsequent preparation processes.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of incense technology, and more specifically to an incense for auxiliary moxibustion. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional moxibustion is a unique external treatment technique in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) that has been passed down for thousands of years. Along with acupuncture, it is considered one of the two core therapies of acupuncture and moxibustion, possessing unique advantages in warming and unblocking the meridians, strengthening the body's resistance, dispelling pathogenic factors, and preventing and maintaining health. Moxibustion originated from the fire therapy practices of our ancestors, with clear records of its application dating back to the pre-Qin period. The *Huangdi Neijing* (Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic) established the core theory that "cold in the internal organs leads to fullness and distension, which should be treated with moxibustion." Through development during the Jin, Tang, Song, Ming, and Qing dynasties, it gradually formed a complete, standardized, and widely applicable traditional TCM technique, serving as an important means of preventing disease and managing chronic conditions in TCM.

[0003] Traditional moxibustion uses authentic aged mugwort leaves as its core ingredient. The leaves are processed using ancient methods, including harvesting, drying, repeated pounding, impurity removal, and processing into moxa wool, moxa cones, and moxa sticks. Three-year-aged mugwort, in particular, has a mild medicinal property, an appropriate volatile oil content, and produces a gentle, penetrating burn with pure smoke and strong permeability, effectively avoiding the drawbacks of fresh mugwort's strong heat that can damage yin. Moxibustion relies on the pungent, warm, and pure yang properties of mugwort leaves, combined with the warm stimulation and far-infrared radiation effect produced by combustion, to act on the body's meridians and acupoints, achieving multiple therapeutic effects.

[0004] From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, moxibustion can warm the meridians and dispel cold, promote qi and blood circulation, strengthen yang and consolidate the body, and resolve stagnation and nodules, specifically improving various discomforts caused by cold-dampness obstruction, yang deficiency, and qi and blood stagnation. Modern research has confirmed that the warmth and infrared energy generated by burning moxibustion can expand microcirculation, accelerate metabolism, and regulate immune function. At the same time, the volatile oil of mugwort has antibacterial, soothing, and anti-inflammatory effects.

[0005] Traditional moxibustion encompasses various classic techniques such as suspended moxibustion, indirect moxibustion, direct moxibustion, and warm needle moxibustion, suitable for different constitutions and ailments, possessing both therapeutic and health-preserving value. This technique is simple to operate, highly safe, non-invasive, and gentle, suitable for clinical treatment and daily health maintenance. Having undergone millennia of clinical validation, it remains widely used in TCM rehabilitation, health preservation, and chronic disease management, making it a traditional Chinese medicine technique with immense value for inheritance and promotion.

[0006] Aroma moxibustion is a new therapy developed based on traditional moxibustion. It was invented by summarizing the experience of the ancients and combining it with extensive clinical practice, representing a breakthrough and innovation in traditional moxibustion. Summary of the Invention
