Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of traditional Chinese medicine moxibustion health preservation and external Chinese medicine preparation technology, specifically involving a Chinese medicine compound moxa stick formula suitable for head, face and sensory organ physiotherapy. Background Technology

[0002] Moxibustion, as a core external treatment therapy in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), relies on the core medicinal properties of mugwort—warming the meridians, promoting blood circulation, dispelling cold, and strengthening the body's resistance—combined with the warming stimulation of acupoints to regulate qi and blood, clear the meridians, relieve fatigue, and improve organ function. With over a thousand years of clinical validation, it possesses the advantages of safety, gentleness, and wide applicability, and is widely used in home health preservation, TCM physiotherapy, rehabilitation, and other fields. The moxa stick is the core carrier of moxibustion therapy; its raw material formula, powder fineness, combustion characteristics, and medicinal compatibility directly determine the therapeutic effect and safety of moxibustion.

[0003] The head, face, and sensory organs are unique areas of the human body with the densest concentration of meridians, the most delicate acupoints, and the most tender skin and mucous membranes. Furthermore, the mucous membranes of the eyes, nasal cavity, ear canals, and mouth are fragile and sensitive, exhibiting extremely low tolerance to external stimuli such as heat and smoke. These areas correspond to the convergence of many Yang meridians, making them prone to stagnation of Qi and blood, upward disturbance of wind-heat, and failure of clear Yang to ascend. This can lead to sub-health symptoms such as dry and tired eyes, nasal congestion, dizziness, tinnitus, dull complexion, and vertigo, making them key areas for TCM health preservation and conditioning.

[0004] Both conventional and compound moxa sticks currently on the market have inherent and unavoidable technical flaws: conventional moxa sticks mostly use a single mugwort component or a general warming compound, resulting in an overall hot and dry medicinal property, intense heat, rapid temperature rise, high peak temperature, and strong smoky irritation during combustion. These types of moxa sticks are only suitable for moxibustion on areas with thick skin and high tolerance, such as the limbs, back, and abdomen, and are completely unsuitable for the special physiological structure and tolerance characteristics of the head, face, and sensory organs. When traditional moxibustion is used for the head, face, and sensory organs, the high temperature and heat can easily cause redness, burning, and slight stinging of the delicate facial skin. At the same time, the irritating smoke produced by burning can directly irritate the mucous membranes of the eyes, nose, and ears, causing adverse reactions such as tearing, worsening nasal congestion, throat discomfort, dizziness, and choking. In addition, the medicinal properties of traditional moxibustion are not targeted to the head and face, and only have a general warming effect. They cannot specifically clear the head and eyes, disperse wind-heat in the head and face, or open the orifices and activate the meridians. The conditioning effect on various sub-health discomfort symptoms of the head, face, and sensory organs is extremely weak. The treatment is cost-effective and has poor adaptability, which greatly limits the application of moxibustion technology in the field of refined health care for the head, face, and sensory organs.

[0005] Currently, there is no specialized compound moxa stick formula designed specifically for the delicate mucous membranes of the head, face, and sensory organs, as well as for precise acupoints and the pathogenesis of wind-heat stagnation. The technical problems of general-purpose moxa sticks being hot and irritating and having poor targeting have remained unresolved. Therefore, developing a specialized compound moxa stick made of traditional Chinese medicine with mild and gentle medicinal properties, low-temperature and gentle heat, no mucous membrane irritation, and specifically designed to treat discomfort in the head, face, and sensory organs is a current technological necessity in this field. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the problems of existing technologies, a compound moxa stick formula of traditional Chinese medicine is provided for the treatment of the head, face, and sensory organs. This formula can solve the problems of existing conventional moxa sticks, such as excessive heat, rapid temperature rise, and single medicinal properties, which cannot be adapted to the delicate skin and fine acupoints of the head, face, and sensory organs. Close-range moxibustion can easily cause burning pain, eye irritation, and mucous membrane irritation. In addition, it does not have the technical defects of targeted conditioning of the sensory organs.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] A traditional Chinese medicine compound moxa stick formula suitable for head, face, and sensory organ physiotherapy includes the following medicinal raw materials in parts by weight: 72-78 parts aged Qichun mugwort floss, 4-6 parts peppermint, 3-5 parts chrysanthemum, 2-4 parts magnolia flower, 3-5 parts angelica dahurica, 2-4 parts vitex trifolia, 1-3 parts chuanxiong rhizome, 2-4 parts albizia bark, and 3-5 parts light bamboo leaves.

[0009] A preferred embodiment of the present invention includes the following raw materials in parts by weight: 75 parts aged Artemisia argyi floss, 5 parts peppermint, 4 parts chrysanthemum, 3 parts Magnolia biondii, 4 parts Angelica dahurica, 3 parts Vitex trifolia, 2 parts Ligusticum chuanxiong, 3 parts Albizia julibrissin bark, and 4 parts Lophatherum gracile.

[0010] A preferred embodiment of the present invention includes the following raw materials in parts by weight: 72 parts aged Artemisia argyi floss, 4 parts peppermint, 3 parts chrysanthemum, 2 parts Magnolia biondii, 3 parts Angelica dahurica, 2 parts Vitex trifolia, 1 part Ligusticum chuanxiong, 2 parts Albizia julibrissin bark, and 3 parts Lophatherum gracile.

[0011] A preferred embodiment of the present invention includes the following raw materials in parts by weight: 78 parts aged Artemisia argyi floss, 6 parts peppermint, 5 parts chrysanthemum, 4 parts magnolia flower, 5 parts angelica dahurica, 4 parts Vitex trifolia, 3 parts Ligusticum chuanxiong, 4 parts Albizia julibrissin bark, and 5 parts Lophatherum gracile.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, 0.3-0.8 parts by weight of borneol, an excipient, are added to the raw materials. The borneol is pulverized to 120 mesh ultrafine powder and pre-mixed evenly with the compound powder of eight Chinese herbs before being mixed with aged Artemisia argyi floss in batches. The borneol is natural synthetic medicinal borneol, without artificial flavoring, and has a moisture content of ≤3%. The compound powder of the eight Chinese herbs is obtained by pulverizing and mixing peppermint, chrysanthemum, magnolia flower, angelica dahurica, vitex trifolia, chuanxiong rhizome, albizia bark, and lophatherum gracile leaves.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the chuanxiong in the raw materials is replaced with an equal amount of gaoben, while the weight part range remains unchanged. The gaoben is dried at a low temperature of 45–50℃ for 5 hours and then pulverized through a 110-mesh sieve. The other raw material components, weight part range, powder parameters, and combustion parameters remain unchanged.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the fiber particle size range of the total material after mixing all Chinese herbal powders and Artemisia argyi floss is divided into two levels: Artemisia argyi floss fiber length is 0.8-1.5mm, and Chinese herbal powder particle size is 10-15μm. The mass ratio of the two levels of powder strictly matches the raw material weight parts defined in claim 1, and no oversized hard particles are mixed into the material.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the total moisture content of the raw materials is controlled by a combination of 8%-10% moisture content of Artemisia argyi floss and ≤5% moisture content of traditional Chinese medicine powder. After mixing, the overall moisture content of the materials is stably controlled at 9%-10%. No additional water or adhesive is added to adjust the humidity; the moisture content is balanced solely by the gradient of the raw materials' own moisture content.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the mass ratio of the light and ascending medicinal powder to the meridian-clearing and orifice-clearing medicinal powder in the eight-herb compound powder is 1.05-1.2:1. The light and ascending medicinal powder consists of peppermint, chrysanthemum, and vitex fruit, while the meridian-clearing and orifice-clearing medicinal powder consists of magnolia flower, angelica root, chuanxiong rhizome, albizia bark, and lophatherum leaf.

[0017] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the diameter of the compound moxa stick made of traditional Chinese medicine after molding is 18-20mm and the total length is 200-210mm. The weight of a single finished product is controlled at 18-20g. The finished product has uniform compactness, no hollow, no protrusion, no breakage, and no shedding defects. The overall moisture content of the finished product is stable at 9%-11% to ensure combustion stability.

[0018] Compared with existing technologies, this invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. Innovative formulation: It breaks away from the traditional warming and tonifying logic of moxa sticks, pioneering a three-in-one formula for the head and face that integrates "warming, clearing, and opening the orifices." It utilizes light, upward-moving Chinese medicinal herbs specifically targeting the head and face to neutralize the heat of the moxa wool, achieving warmth without dryness and opening without harm, thus solving the core problems of traditional moxa sticks causing heat and irritating the mucous membranes. 2. Innovative targeted application: Through the combination of guiding herbs and herbs specifically for the five sense organs, the medicinal properties are precisely delivered to the head, face, and sensory organs, solving the technical problems of traditional moxa stick therapy lacking targeting and having poor conditioning effects. It possesses outstanding substantive characteristics and significant technological advancements. Attached Figure Description

[0025] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0026] like Figure 1As shown in the figure, this invention provides a traditional Chinese medicine compound moxa stick formula suitable for head, face, and sensory organ physiotherapy, comprising the following medicinal raw materials in parts by weight: 72-78 parts aged Qichun mugwort floss, 4-6 parts peppermint, 3-5 parts chrysanthemum, 2-4 parts magnolia flower bud, 3-5 parts angelica dahurica, 2-4 parts vitex trifolia fruit, 1-3 parts chuanxiong rhizome, 2-4 parts albizia bark, and 3-5 parts lophatherum gracile leaf. The aged Qichun mugwort floss is prepared from native mugwort from the Qichun production area of ​​Hubei Province, naturally aged in the dark for 3-5 years. All coarse stems, withered leaves, and mud impurities are removed. After low-temperature airflow pulverization, it is passed through an 80-100 mesh standard sieve, resulting in a final mugwort floss impurity content ≤0.5%, intact fibers without broken hard particles, and a moisture content controlled at 8%-10%. Peppermint, chrysanthemum, magnolia flower, angelica, vitex fruit, chuanxiong rhizome, albizia bark, and bamboo leaves are all made from first-grade dried medicinal raw materials according to pharmacopoeia standards. They are free from mold, insect infestation, sulfur fumigation, and pesticide residues. All medicinal materials are individually low-temperature dried and then ultra-finely pulverized, passing through a 100-120 mesh sieve to produce ultra-fine medicinal powder. The powder of each herb is uniform in fineness, without lumps or large particles. The combustion physical parameters of the finished compound moxa sticks are strictly limited to: a calorific value of 1800-2200 J / g, a peak combustion temperature of 48-55℃, and a constant-temperature continuous combustion time of no less than 90 minutes. The combustion process is free from open flames, explosive combustion, and sudden localized high-temperature rises. The heat is uniform and gentle throughout, suitable for the delicate skin of the head, face, and facial features, as well as the mucous membranes of the eyes, nose, and mouth, requiring close-range low-temperature moxibustion therapy. This avoids the problems of facial redness, burning pain, eye and nose irritation, and mucous membrane discomfort caused by the high temperature and rapid temperature rise of traditional moxa sticks.

[0027] Based on the TCM pathogenesis theory of "wind-heat in the head and face, the need for clear yang to rise and spread, and the need for unobstructed passages," and combined with the tolerance characteristics of the delicate skin and sensitive mucous membranes of the head and face, we have created a unique compound formulation system that is "clearing, moistening, warming, targeted to the head and face, and low-irritation and long-lasting." With precise parameters for raw materials, grinding, mixing, and combustion, we solve the technical problems of existing conventional moxa sticks, which are hot and dry, have strong firepower, strong smoke stimulation, and lack targeted conditioning properties for the five sense organs, making them unsuitable for refined physical therapy of the head, face, and five sense organs.

[0028] Preferably, a traditional Chinese medicine compound moxa stick formula suitable for head, face and sensory organ physiotherapy includes the following raw materials in parts by weight: 75 parts aged Qichun mugwort floss, 5 parts peppermint, 4 parts chrysanthemum, 3 parts magnolia flower, 4 parts angelica dahurica, 3 parts vitex trifolia, 2 parts chuanxiong rhizome, 3 parts albizia bark, and 4 parts light bamboo leaves.

[0029] Preferably, a traditional Chinese medicine compound moxa stick formula suitable for head, face and sensory organ physiotherapy includes the following raw materials in parts by weight: 72 parts aged Qichun mugwort floss, 4 parts peppermint, 3 parts chrysanthemum, 2 parts magnolia flower, 3 parts angelica dahurica, 2 parts vitex trifolia, 1 part chuanxiong rhizome, 2 parts albizia bark, and 3 parts light bamboo leaves.

[0030] Preferably, a traditional Chinese medicine compound moxa stick formula suitable for head, face and sensory organ physiotherapy includes the following raw materials in parts by weight: 78 parts aged Qichun mugwort floss, 6 parts peppermint, 5 parts chrysanthemum, 4 parts magnolia flower, 5 parts angelica dahurica, 4 parts vitex trifolia, 3 parts chuanxiong rhizome, 4 parts albizia bark, and 5 parts light bamboo leaves.

[0031] In some embodiments, 0.3-0.8 parts by weight of borneol, an excipient, are added to the raw materials. The borneol is pulverized to 120 mesh ultrafine powder and pre-mixed evenly with the compound powder of eight Chinese herbs before being mixed with aged Artemisia argyi floss in batches. The borneol is natural synthetic medicinal borneol without artificial flavoring and has a moisture content of ≤3%. The compound powder of eight Chinese herbs is obtained by pulverizing and mixing peppermint, chrysanthemum, magnolia flower, angelica dahurica, vitex trifolia, chuanxiong rhizome, albizia bark, and lophatherum gracile leaves.

[0032] In some embodiments, the chuanxiong in the raw materials is replaced with an equal amount of ligusticum, while the weight range remains unchanged. The ligusticum is dried at a low temperature of 45–50℃ for 5 hours and then pulverized through a 110-mesh sieve. The other raw material components, weight range, powder parameters, and combustion parameters remain unchanged.

[0033] In the above, the fiber particle size range of the total material after mixing all Chinese herbal powders and Artemisia argyi floss is divided into two levels: Artemisia argyi floss fiber length is 0.8-1.5mm, and Chinese herbal powder particle size is 10-15μm. The mass ratio of the two levels of powder strictly matches the raw material weight parts defined in claim 1, and no oversized hard particles are mixed into the material.

[0034] The total moisture content of the raw materials is controlled by a combination of 8%-10% moisture content of Artemisia argyi floss and ≤5% moisture content of traditional Chinese medicine powder. After mixing, the overall moisture content of the materials is stably controlled at 9%-10%. No additional water or binder is added to adjust the humidity; the moisture content is balanced solely by the gradient of the raw materials' own moisture content.

[0035] In the compound powder of eight Chinese herbal medicines, the mass ratio of the light and ascending medicinal powder to the collateral-clearing and orifice-clearing medicinal powder is 1.05-1.2:1. The light and ascending medicinal materials are peppermint, chrysanthemum, and vitex fruit, while the collateral-clearing and orifice-clearing medicinal materials are magnolia flower, angelica, chuanxiong, albizia bark, and light bamboo leaf.

[0036] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the molding process parameters for the compound moxa stick 1 are as follows: It is made by constant-temperature rolling of natural, additive-free mulberry bark paper. The tension is uniform and constant during the rolling process, with no deviation in tightness. After molding, the compound moxa stick 1 has a diameter of 18-20mm and a total length of 200-210mm. The weight of a single finished product is controlled at 18-20g. The finished product has uniform overall compactness, without hollow areas, protrusions, breaks, or shedding defects. The overall moisture content of the finished product is stable at 9%-11% to ensure combustion stability. The molded compound moxa stick 1 includes a uniformly compact rolled structure 2 in the center, a compound medicinal fluff filling layer 3, and a mulberry bark paper wrapping layer 4.

[0037] The specific preparation steps for aged Qichun mugwort floss are as follows: Select the first harvest of mature mugwort from Qichun in the current year, lay it flat and air dry naturally in the shade for 30-45 days to prevent damage to the effective components of the mugwort from direct sunlight. Then, store it in a sealed, light-proof warehouse at room temperature for 3-5 years. During the aging period, ventilate and dehumidify once every quarter. After aging, manually sieve out coarse stems, withered leaves, mud and sand impurities. Use a low-temperature airflow pulverizer to pulverize it at room temperature. After pulverization, pass it through a 90-mesh standard sieve to obtain fine mugwort floss with fluffy fibers and uniform texture. Test and control the moisture content of the mugwort floss to stabilize it at 8%-10%, and store it in a sealed container for later use.

[0038] like Figure 4 As shown, the preparation steps of the ultrafine powder of traditional Chinese medicine are as follows: eight raw materials, namely peppermint, chrysanthemum, magnolia flower, angelica, vitex fruit, chuanxiong rhizome, albizia bark, and light bamboo leaf, are manually sorted to remove moldy, damaged, and impurity particles. The sorted raw materials are placed in a constant temperature drying oven, and the drying temperature is set at 45-50℃ for 4-6 hours to reduce the moisture content of the raw materials to below 5%. Then, each herb is individually pulverized using an ultrafine cell wall pulverizer. After pulverization, the powder is passed through a 110-mesh sieve. The sieved powder is mixed and stirred for 20 minutes to obtain a homogeneous, non-agglomerated composite ultrafine powder of traditional Chinese medicine, which is then sealed and stored in a moisture-proof container.

[0039] like Figure 5 As shown, the gradient mixing process of compound moxa stick raw materials includes the following parameters: the prepared Chinese herbal compound powder is divided into three equal parts, and is gradually added to the aged Qi moxa floss base in a step-by-step manner, with low-speed continuous stirring. The stirring equipment speed is kept constant at 30-40 r / min, and the stirring time is 15-20 min per stirring. The ambient temperature is controlled at 20-25℃ and the relative humidity is controlled at 40%-50% throughout the stirring process to avoid the powder absorbing moisture and clumping. After the mixing is completed, the uniformity of the raw material mixing is tested to be ≥98%, with no local enrichment of Chinese herbal powder and no blank areas of moxa floss.

[0040] The safety parameters for the compound moxa stick combustion are as follows: the particle size of the ultrafine particulate matter in the combustion smoke is ≤0.3μm, the volatile components of the smoke contain no irritating or harmful substances, the odor level of the smoke is level 1, there is no pungent, irritating, or irritating effect on the oral and nasal mucosa when burning at close range, the ash after combustion is fine in texture without hard lumps or clumps, the natural ash shedding rate is ≤5%, and there is no need to frequently clean the ash during the moxibustion process. It is suitable for exclusive physiotherapy use scenarios of close and low distance on the head and face.

[0041] Compound moxa sticks are specially formulated for the treatment of facial and sensory organs. They are specifically designed to match the meridian circulation characteristics of the head and face, and are exclusively used to treat facial blood stasis, dull complexion, dry and itchy eyes, visual fatigue, nasal congestion and dryness, runny nose and nasal congestion, dizziness, tinnitus and lightheadedness, mouth ulcers, and facial meridian blockage. The treatment method is gentle suspended moxibustion. During moxibustion, the burning end of the moxa stick is 2-3cm away from the skin of the acupoints on the head and face. The continuous moxibustion time for a single acupoint is 5-8 minutes. There is no heat stimulation or risk of mucosal damage throughout the process.

[0042] This invention innovatively combines eight proprietary Chinese medicinal herbs for head and face conditioning. The synergistic effects of these herbs form a precise targeted therapy system: Peppermint, with its light and refreshing properties, specifically targets the meridians of the head and face, dispersing wind-heat, clearing the head and eyes, and soothing skin tension. Its cooling and gentle nature neutralizes the warming properties of moxa, reducing the overall heat of the formula from the root. Chrysanthemum enters the lung and liver meridians, specifically targeting liver heat, improving eyesight, and dispelling wind-heat, specifically addressing dry eyes, visual fatigue, and dizziness, meeting the needs of eye and sensory organ therapy. Magnolia flower is a specialized herb for clearing nasal passages, specifically clearing wind-heat in the nasal meridians, effectively improving nasal congestion, dryness, and runny nose, making it a core targeted herb for nasal therapy. Angelica dahurica dispels wind and relieves pain, clears the meridians of the head and face, and brightens the complexion, improving facial appearance. This treatment addresses stagnation of Qi and blood, dullness, and dryness, while also nourishing the face and regulating the meridians. Vitex trifolia, with its light and upward-moving properties, is specifically designed to treat wind-heat in the head and face, dizziness, tinnitus, and red, swollen, and painful eyes, targeting the meridians in the upper part of the head and face, thus compensating for the lack of head-clearing effects in traditional moxibustion. Ligusticum chuanxiong promotes Qi and blood circulation, ascending to the head and eyes, acting as a guiding herb for the head and face, directing all the compound medicinal properties directly to the acupoints and meridians of the head and face, improving the overall targeting and efficacy of the treatment. Albizia julibrissin bark relieves stagnation and harmonizes Qi and blood, alleviating dizziness and irritability caused by tightness in the head and face meridians and poor Qi and blood circulation, enhancing the comfort of the treatment. Lophatherum gracile leaves clear heat and relieve irritability, gently penetrating the surface, moderating the warmth of moxibustion, preventing heat and dryness, and achieving the effect of warming without causing heat and clearing the meridians without harming Yin.

[0043] The medicinal materials are formulated according to the weight ratios specified in this invention, working synergistically and mutually restraining each other. This retains the fundamental effects of moxibustion in warming and unblocking meridians and activating blood circulation in the head and face, while adding exclusive benefits such as clearing the head and eyes, brightening the vision, dispelling wind and soothing, and nourishing the skin and moisturizing dryness. This completely overcomes the shortcomings of traditional moxa sticks, which only provide warmth without targeted treatment. Furthermore, by strictly limiting the fineness, moisture content, combustion temperature, combustion time, and smoke parameters of the raw materials, this invention ensures that the peak combustion temperature of the finished moxa stick is controlled within a safe low-temperature range of 48-55℃, with a constant-temperature combustion time exceeding 90 minutes. The heat is even and sustained without sudden heating or cooling, the ultrafine powder burns completely, and the smoke particles are small and non-irritating, making it perfectly suitable for close-range moxibustion of the head and face without causing irritation or damage to the mucous membranes of the eyes, nose, mouth, ears, or delicate facial skin.

[0044] Example 1 (Optimal Proportion Example) A traditional Chinese medicine compound moxa stick formula suitable for head, face and sensory organ physiotherapy includes the following ingredients by weight: 75 parts aged Qichun mugwort floss, 5 parts peppermint, 4 parts chrysanthemum, 3 parts magnolia flower, 4 parts angelica dahurica, 3 parts vitex trifolia fruit, 2 parts chuanxiong rhizome, 3 parts albizia bark, and 4 parts light bamboo leaves.

[0045] Among them, the aged Qi Ai floss is 4-year aged Qi Ai floss, passed through a 90-mesh sieve, with an impurity content of 0.3% and a moisture content of 9%; all Chinese medicinal materials are dried at 48℃ for 5 hours, with a moisture content of 4.2%, and then pulverized and passed through a 110-mesh sieve; the raw materials are mixed in a three-equal gradient, with a stirring speed of 35r / min, a single stirring time of 18min, an ambient temperature of 22℃, and a humidity of 45%; the finished moxa sticks have a diameter of 19mm, a length of 205mm, a single stick weight of 19g, and a moisture content of 10%.

[0046] The finished product testing parameters in this embodiment are as follows: peak combustion temperature 52℃, constant temperature combustion time 98min, calorific value 2050J / g, particulate matter particle size in the flue gas 0.25μm, ash shedding rate 3.2%, and no irritating odor, fully meeting the needs of close-range physiotherapy for the head, face, and sensory organs. Clinical trials have shown optimal therapeutic effects on dull facial complexion, dry and tired eyes, nasal congestion, dizziness, and vertigo, with no redness, burning pain, or eye irritation throughout the treatment.

[0047] Example 2 (Low concentration and mild formulation) A traditional Chinese medicine compound moxa stick formula suitable for head, face and sensory organ physiotherapy includes the following ingredients by weight: 72 parts aged Qichun mugwort floss, 4 parts peppermint, 3 parts chrysanthemum, 2 parts magnolia flower, 3 parts angelica dahurica, 2 parts vitex trifolia fruit, 1 part chuanxiong rhizome, 2 parts albizia bark, and 3 parts light bamboo leaves.

[0048] This embodiment has a lower concentration of medicinal materials and a gentler medicinal effect, making it suitable for daily health care for people with extremely sensitive skin and fragile mucous membranes. The combustion temperature is lower and the heat is more gentle, making it suitable for long-term daily head and face health care at home.

[0049] Example 3 (High-Efficacy Conditioning Formula) A traditional Chinese medicine compound moxa stick formula suitable for head, face and sensory organ physiotherapy includes the following ingredients by weight: 78 parts aged Qichun mugwort floss, 6 parts peppermint, 5 parts chrysanthemum, 4 parts magnolia flower, 5 parts angelica dahurica, 4 parts vitex trifolia fruit, 3 parts chuanxiong rhizome, 4 parts albizia bark, and 5 parts light bamboo leaves.

[0050] This embodiment has a higher content of effective ingredients in the medicinal materials, and stronger effects in clearing the orifices, improving eyesight, dispelling wind, and promoting blood circulation. It is suitable for targeted conditioning of people who stay up late for a long time, overuse their eyes, suffer from repeated nasal congestion and dizziness, and have severe facial blood stasis. It has a longer-lasting effect and stronger targeted medicinal properties.

[0051] To verify the safety, stability, and therapeutic effects of the formula of this invention, a comparative experiment was conducted between the finished product of Example 1 of this invention and commercially available conventional three-year-aged moxa sticks. The subjects were 60 individuals with sub-health symptoms such as dry eyes, nasal congestion, dizziness, dull complexion, and vertigo. They were randomly divided into an experimental group (moxa sticks of this invention) and a control group (traditional moxa sticks), with 30 people in each group. All subjects received head and face moxibustion therapy once a day for 15 minutes each time for 30 consecutive days. The comfort level, incidence of adverse reactions, and symptom improvement rate were recorded.

[0052] The results showed that in the control group, during traditional moxibustion therapy, 21 subjects experienced facial burning pain and skin redness, and 27 subjects experienced discomfort such as eye irritation, worsened nasal congestion, and throat irritation, with an adverse reaction rate of 90%. The effective rate of improvement in symptoms of discomfort in the head, face, and sensory organs was only 43.3%, and most subjects reported dry mouth, fever, dizziness, and irritability after the therapy.

[0053] In the experimental group, no adverse reactions such as skin burning, redness, or mucosal irritation occurred during the compound moxibustion therapy of this invention, with an adverse reaction rate of 0%. The improvement rate of dry eye fatigue and visual fatigue was 93.3%, the improvement rate of nasal congestion and dizziness was 90%, the improvement rate of dull complexion and poor blood circulation was 86.7%, and the improvement rate of dizziness, tinnitus and restlessness was 88.3%. Moreover, all subjects reported that the therapy process was gentle and comfortable, without any heat or irritation, and without any smoke or fumes, resulting in an excellent experience.

[0054] In terms of combustion, the moxa stick of this invention has a longer constant-temperature combustion time, a more stable temperature, and cleaner smoke, which is fully suitable for physiotherapy scenarios with refined facial features, close proximity, and high safety requirements, and solves the core defects of existing technologies.

[0055] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely preferred examples and are not intended to limit the invention. Various changes and modifications can be made to the invention without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the present invention as claimed.
