A kind of preparation method of moxa wax and its application method

Abstract

The invention provides a method for preparing moxa wax for moxa moxibustion, comprising: pulverizing 5-10kg of dried mugwort leaves to obtain mugwort leaf powder, adding the mugwort leaf powder into a supercritical extraction device, introducing CO2, turning on the compressor, and The powder is extracted, and the extract is taken out from the separator. After the extraction is completed, the Artemisia argyi leaf extract is obtained; after the Artemisia argyi leaf extract is placed in a closed container for 0.5-2h, it is heated at a constant temperature, then palmitic acid is added, and stirred for 20- After 60 minutes, add xanthan gum and stir to obtain the moxa wax extract; heat the molecular still and evacuate, when the vacuum reaches 0.6-0.8kPa, heat the moxa wax extract to 50-70°C and add In the molecular still, carry out distillation, collect the mugwort essential oil in the condenser, after the distillation is completed, take out the raffinate to obtain the mugwort wax. The method is safe and environment-friendly, and the obtained moxa wax has a high content of medicinal components, and the moxa wax moxibustion has a good therapeutic effect.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of moxibustion, in particular to a method for preparing and using moxa wax. Background technique [0002] Moxibustion therapy is an important part of traditional Chinese acupuncture. It uses manual operation to apply ignited moxa sticks to acupoints and sore spots. With its warmth and the effect of organic ingredients of moxa, it can adjust the balance of human physiological functions through meridian points. To achieve the purpose of treatment and health care. However, in traditional moxibustion therapy, the burning moxa sticks are easy to fall off and burn the skin; and when the moxa sticks burn, the smoke is relatively large, which affects the respiratory health of the moxibustor; The ingredients volatilize too quickly and are lost, thus affecting the therapeutic effect. [0003] The traditional wax moxibustion therapy does not need to burn, nor will it produce smoke. For example, Patent No. CN108926616...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

In order to make the medicinal powder waxy, a large amount of medical wax needs to be used, and Artemisia argyi leaves are rich in aliphatic waxy components such as ethyl hexadecanoate and ethyl linoleate. Wax moxibustion, however, the existing method of extracting moxa wax is immature, and, in the process of extracting moxa wax, the medicinal ingredients such as L-camphor and caryophyllene oxide in the leaves of mugwort are easily lost, resulting in too low medicinal ingredients in moxa wax. The effect of moxa wax moxibustion is not good
