Why is moxa hand processed with one thick end and one thin end, and what are the skills?

I've seen a kind of Ai Zhu or Yi Zhuang, which is different from each other, and the head of the nest is different. Therefore, different moxa sticks are different, don't worry about whether they are fake, the effect is no problem. ‍‍

It may be made by hand, and the skill is that as long as the mulberry paper is packaged, it means that the moxa sticks will not be bad. Because modern people blow air conditioners in summer, exercise less, eat greenhouse vegetables, and the physical physique is far inferior to the ancients, I use smokeless moxa sticks for physiotherapy, the fire is fierce enough, and the effect is very good through moxibustion. ‍‍

It may be handmade moxa sticks, I can teach you a way to identify good moxa. The higher the purity of moxa, the better the effect. Ai for more than three years is better for the treatment of chronic diseases.

If it is left for too long, for example, it is estimated that it will not be very good for 10 years. In addition, some people on the market use sulfur to smoke Xinai and pretend to be Chen Ai, so you should pay attention to distinguish. Moxa wool *** bad will greatly affect the effect of moxibustion. ‍‍

Teach you the little tricks of choosing, a year of Ai is fine, 1:15 is enough. It's best if you buy a wormwood and burn it to smell it.

Don't look at anything delicate, in my opinion, the more delicate the more fake, how simple it is to beat the powder, and there are many that look very delicate and only have the taste of withered grass when burned. The smell of wormwood is obvious. ‍‍

This can be used to distinguish whether the moxa is made by hand, the strength and discharge of the machine are relatively uniform, so the thickness is consistent, and there will be deviations in how it is done by hand. ‍‍

As far as I know, it is good to have the same thickness at both ends of moxa, but generally speaking, it is difficult to do this by hand, so there will be a problem of different thicknesses at both ends, and I don't know the skills. ‍‍

From the perspective of **, three years old, 10:1 moxa is relatively cost-effective. The so-called ten-year Chen is fake, and it is possible that the smell and medicinal properties of the real ten-year Chen have almost disappeared.

Too new, smells pungent, the color is green, the fire is too fierce, and it is easy to hurt the meridians. There are many impurities in a low proportion, and a high proportion burns too quickly. It's not the same coarse, there is no need to be confused, there is no problem, and you can use it with confidence. ‍‍

I usually prepare several different proportions and thicknesses of moxa, depending on what the situation is on the day to decide which one to use, not necessarily the higher the proportion, the better, the higher the proportion is generally used when sick, the fire is fierce, the effect is fast. But ordinary health care can't stand such fierce firepower. Adults and children, tonic and laxative, and the time of day are all factors to consider when choosing moxa.

Hope it helps. ‍‍

Of course, the thickness is inconsistent, the skill is that the thin end is easy to ignite, the same thickness should not be easy to ignite, one end thin and one thick end is made by hand. ‍‍

2 reasons, 1. The moxa velvet is uneven; 2. The rolling force is uneven.

1. In order to ensure the uniformity of the hardness and thickness of the moxa sticks, weigh the moxa wool with a scale first, which is more standardized as shown in the figure below;

2. Put the moxa wool evenly into the filler bucket, this step is more important, which is related to the thickness of the moxa after you, whether it is uniform;

3. Be sure to press it with both hands, so that the hardness, strength and quality of moxa are high;

4. Then start to roll moxa sticks, in the process of rolling moxa sticks, use the method of reversing and pushing forward, and grab the green pole with both hands to advance;

5. The special plug to prevent moxa from running out from both sides should be made stronger by hand;

6. Then you can take out the moxa sticks, and the diameter of the moxa sticks comes out.

Preparation materials: manual strip rolling machine, manual strip workbench, velvet bamboo, cotton paper, glutinous rice glue, Qi mugwort velvet.

1. Take the moxa wool into the half tube, which is how to install the moxa wool on the half bamboo tube first, which can be more convenient to spread the mugwort evenly;

2. Then pour it into the packaging trough in parallel, and at the same time, this half of the bamboo tube can also be used to press the moxa wool in the trough;

3. Fill the groove until it is firm and uniform, and then press it a few more times by hand, and also press it firmly and evenly;

4. Press a few times more to make it easier to roll moxa sticks;

5. Press your fingers side by side a few times;

6. Start to lay cotton paper on the moxa strip wrapping machine. With the best cotton paper, you can see that the quality of the paper is very good;

7. It takes a lot of work to lay paper, not just put it on it;

8. Now that the paper is laid and ready to be rolled by hand;

9. Roll moxa sticks with a wooden stick. There is also a skill when starting to roll, wrap out a strong handmade moxa, then you have to use a relatively large force, and the index finger on both sides should be pressed on the packaging machine, the wrist is pushed upward, and the hand holds the rod to roll up, it can be said that this is the three-way force, which side is uneven, and the moxa is not standard.

10. When rolling to the middle, the force on both sides should be even, and press down hard, so that the moxa can be wrapped tightly and look good;

11. When there are two or three centimeters left in the cotton paper, start to coat glutinous rice glue, and there are also skills in gluing, it is best to apply evenly from left to right at a time, otherwise the moxa sticks will wrinkle or break at the junction of the glue; And the left hand should be grasped well, at this time, it is one hand to hold down the wooden stick, and use the hand to balance;

12. The handmade moxa sticks came out, take them out and carefully get the extra moxa wool at both ends.

13. In this way, a complete handmade moxa stick is completed.

The quality of moxa determines the quality of the effect, and the quality of moxa depends on the following conditions.

Origin, harvesting time, production process, storage life.

1. Origin: Wormwood grows in most areas of China, and can be divided into large-leaved wormwood if it is divided into the north and south of the Yangtze River.

and Ai Xiaoye. To the north of the Yangtze River is the large-leaved mugwort, which has thick and wide hairs, and the coarse yield of mugwort fiber is high.

The taste is fragrant and the fire is soft. The mugwort in the south of the river is small-leaved mugwort, the leaves are small and thin, the yield is low, the smoke is large, and the production is large.

Low volume. Good mugwort is mostly purchased from the north to make mugwort leaves.

Two picking: the season of mugwort leaf picking must be picked before and after the Dragon Boat Festival every year, so people are clouded:

Dragon Boat Festival grass.

Wild wormwood and wild mugwort are lightly dressed.

This season is the peak period of wormwood growth, and experienced herb pickers will pick it.

Take mugwort leaves that look like a human.

Or in the first few days of picking wormwood will be seen with the feet to overwhelm it, when it is time to pick.

Only the leaves of wormwood that can stand up are picked, so that the wormwood has a strong vitality, and the mugwort made from it is made.

The effect of velvet ** is powerful enough.

Three production: the most important in the whole process of texturing, the ancients were mostly hand-made, modern are mechanical texturing, which has a great difference in the effect of **.

The ancients made handmade velvet first, mixing the best mugwort leaves with plant ash.

Stir the water into a clay shape, then make the mugwort leaf puree into a cake shape, dry and seal, and take out a cake with both hands when using.

Kneading, sieving to remove the ash stalk and then repeatedly rubbing it into cotton wool-like mugwort, handmade velvet is vigorous, so it was used in the past.

This law. There was a moxa factory owner who didn't believe in this method, and when I told him an example, he was speechless, and I asked him how delicious the hand-rolled noodles and machine-cut noodles were. Why, because people's spirit and spirit are fused into it, the result is different, this is the traditional connotation culture, and now they are all working the surface. The Dragon Boat Festival is coming, I hope everyone makes their own moxa wool and collects it for later use, the effect is different.

Four Storage: In the Materia Medica, it is said that those who use moxa should use Chen Ai, and Mencius also talks about this issue in his writings, he says: seven.

The illness of the year should be sought for three years.

The purpose of storage of mugwort is mainly to vaporize it through long-term storage.

drop, its moxibustion fire will be softer and more comfortable.

Now there are not many old wormwood in the market for three years, and most of them are made of new and half-aged moxa wool.

Moxa, that's already good.

After having these four points, the moxa sticks made in the same way are completely different from ordinary moxa sticks in terms of color, quality, taste, smoke and fire.

Finish. Color: Velvet earthy yellow or golden yellow, without the green of the year. Quality: Moxa sticks are tall and strong as a whole, not soft, and velvet.

Soft and free of impurities. Taste.

The smell of old moxa sticks is fragrant, and there is no grassy smell of mugwort. Smoke: Mugwort smoke is pale white.

Strong but not pungent, fragrant smell. Fire: The fire is soft and not strong, the penetration is strong, the moxibustion is strong, and the curative effect is good.

Moxa sticks with such characteristics are considered good moxa, and you can compare them when you buy moxa.

1: Tools and materials: ruler, scissors, paper cutter, glue, glue sticks, sharpened chopsticks, tamper rods (copper rods, iron rods, hardwood rods, steel rods with a diameter of 10 20 mm and a length of about 20 cm).

25 mm I.D., 14 cm long PP-R tube, 25 mm O.D., 20 cm long PP-R tube. Thick cotton paper (if you don't have it, you can also use other handmade paper with stiffness and easy to burn, and copy paper is also OK).

PP-R pipe is a standard size, which can be easily bought in stores that sell decorative materials for water pipes, and it only costs less than 10 yuan for 1 meter. 25 mm outer diameter, 20 cm long PP-R tube is used for roll paper tube, one is enough, thick (25DN32Xen) PP-R tube is recommended to buy the following lengths at one time: 10 cm, 14 cm, 15 cm, 16 cm, 17 cm, 18 cm.

**It's very cheap, please ask the shopkeeper to cut it off, and more than ten yuan is probably enough) When you are not proficient, use a shorter tube to make a shorter stick, and then gradually lengthen it after you are proficient.

2: Production steps.

A: Cut into 85x150mm thick cotton paper (or other stiff and flammable paper, you can't find copy paper!) ), rolled into a cylinder on a 25 mm outer diameter, 20 cm long PP-R tube.

The interface is glued well. The surface of the PP-R tube is so smooth that it is easy to push the tube off the tube even if the glue is extruded from the tube and onto the tube. The finished tube measures 25 mm in diameter and 15 cm in length.

B: After the interface of the paper tube is completely dried, put it into a thick 25mm inner diameter PP-R tube and fill it with moxa wool, and the proportion of moxa wool used is arbitrary. At the beginning of the practice, the velvet should not be too full and too tight, and after the velvet is filled to a certain extent, use the chopsticks sharpened at the front end to poke more to make the moxa uniform hair.

Then hold the thick tube tightly with one hand, press one end of the tube on the table (a few pieces of paper on the table), and use a tamper to tamp the moxa wool in the paper tube with a tamper with the other. When pounding, the force is small first and then large, and gradually strengthened. After pounding once, the top of the velvet will be smooth, and the smooth surface of the moxa velvet will be scratched with the tip of the chopsticks, and then the paper tube will be filled with velvet.

Repeat the above steps a few times and you're done.

C: After the last filling and tamping, after reaching the top of the PP-R tube on the top of the moxa velvet, cut a few openings on the wall of the excess paper tube with scissors, and then press the paper inward to the surface of the moxa suede. After pushing the sticks out of the thick tube, apply the base with a glue stick, glue a piece of cotton paper, and pound it a few times on the table to make the paper stick firmly.

D: After tidying up the moxa wool from the front end of the paper tube, hold the stick and pound the exposed end of the moxa wool on the tabletop to complete the whole process. The following ** is the finished stick.

Use 6 to 1 mugwort 14 cm in length. Weight 29 grams. The whole is very full and firm.

Roll up the mugwort with cotton paper and roll it as hard as possible!

Now there are moxa sticks everywhere, and the ones who send out and collect deposits are about 2,800. **Yuan or so. The first shipment of 2-4000 pieces for you to do.

It's done to let you send it to their company at your own expense, saying that even the processing fee deposit will be refunded together, and they send it to the circle of friends every day to say that the deposit is refunded and the processing fee is settled, and you think it's true. I also said that I can't do anything without the guts.

It's all a lie, once you believe it, he will let you pay a deposit of 800 yuan first, and the deposit will be handed over, and he will arrange to send the materials over, and then let you pay 2000 yuan when the materials arrive, if you don't pay, then these materials are**come and go**, and then you feel fooled and say you don't do it, ask them to surrender the deposit, they will say that the cost is that cost, anyway, in the end they will refund you 300 yuan. In my opinion, this is**, 800 yuan will refund you 300 yuan in the end, **and earn 500 yuan, and then**will say, do you think we are**company, then we will refund your deposit? This is the best trick of **.

Other companies are not clear, but this Hubei Xiaogan Ai Shang Moxibustion Business **** is a real big **, he will take advantage of your ignorance to sign a one-month contract with you, the delivery time on the road is included, do 4000, in fact, the first batch of inexperienced with this can not be done, but the merchants will lie to you and say that you have nothing to help you postpone, and so on, they play double reeds, first of all, the one who pulled you to join said that he no longer works in the company, let him find the company, and the company said that it was overdue. Or the family can take turns to finish it on schedule day and night, and the delivery is unqualified. In short, find various reasons not to settle the processing fee, and do not refund the deposit of 2,600 yuan.

I can only tell you that now moxa processing is basically a trick to cheat money. At present, it has become the main ** along with diamond painting. **Mostly concentrated in Guangzhou, Wuhan and Hunan.

There are countless netizens who have been deceived. Most of them are defrauding your deposit, or material fees, and when you do it, the other party will refuse to accept the product under various excuses. It's equivalent to you spending money on a bunch of useless materials.
