The invention discloses a preparation method and application of
absorbent cotton. The preparation method comprises the steps of soaking cotton pieces into liquid
medicine, percolating for 20-40min, taking out the
absorbent cotton, and
drying in the air for later use, wherein the liquid
medicine is prepared by soaking four medicines, i.e., Chinese arborvitae
twig and leaf, radix et rhizoma rhei, cortex phellodendri and
flos carthami into
ethanol for seven days. The liquid
medicine is prepared from the following components in parts by weight: 1-3 parts of the Chinese arborvitae
twig and leaf, 2-6 parts of the radix et rhizoma rhei, 2-6 parts of the cortex phellodendri and 1-3 parts of the
flos carthami, and the medicines are soaked into the
ethanol. Compared with the traditional cotton
moxibustion prepared by using medical
cotton wool, the
absorbent cotton is prepared by selecting Xinjiang long-staple cotton so as to realize full burning during
moxibustion; furthermore, when being made into thin sheets, the absorbent cotton is uniform and does not easily have holes; the thicknesses of the absorbent cotton sheets are controlled to be 0.04-0.06mm, so that the
moxibustion temperature ismore accurately controlled, the scald risk of patients is reduced, and the moxibustion effect is improved.
