Is the "smoke" of moxibustion harmful to human body after inhalation? What is the basis?

As we all know, moxibustion can only be treated after wormwood is lit. Many people think that smelling the smoke lit by wormwood for a long time will still have an impact on the body. After all, the carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide contained in burning wormwood are still harmful to the body. However, some people say that it is good for your health not to smell the smoke lit by wormwood for a long time.

If the quality of the selected moxa sticks is good, a small amount of moxibustion smoke is harmless to human body. In addition, moxa smoke has a certain health care effect on human body. Moxibustion can also disinfect the air and inhibit rhinovirus, herpes virus, influenza virus and mumps virus. During the burning of moxa sticks, most of the volatile oil of moxa sticks will radiate into the air. Inhaling moxa sticks can also better relieve asthma and cough. In order to avoid excessive inhalation of moxa smoke during moxibustion, attention should be paid to maintaining indoor ventilation. When moxibustion, try to choose an moxibustion hall with smoke exhaust system.

A small amount of moxa smoke is not only harmless, but also beneficial. Cigarettes of moxa sticks can suffocate people and even produce miasma, which is definitely harmful to health. People who often moxibustion suggest choosing moxa sticks, moxa sticks or other moxibustion products with little smoke and no smoke, keep the indoor air unobstructed during moxibustion and smoke in time. Conditional families can be equipped with special smoke exhaust devices or air purification equipment, or turn on the kitchen range hood to smoke. In short, the smoke produced by moxibustion will not cause substantial harm to the human body as long as it is not inhaled in large quantities for a long time.

Remove the smoke produced by moxibustion. If we start from the origin of things, it is often easier to succeed. From the source of smoke, acupuncture should choose aged wormwood. Old moxibustion does not hurt yin, blood and pain. The wormwood in Ai Chen is yellow; When burning, the smoke of aged wormwood is soft and curled upward, leaving gray ash after burning. In addition, the aged wormwood is not in a hurry, its texture is soft and its transparency is not strong, which makes people feel very comfortable. The smoke produced by acupuncture of old artificial intelligence is not as harmful as that produced by new artificial intelligence. In order to avoid the harm of acupuncture smoke to the body, we should pay attention to the choice of AI by the elderly.

The second is to purify the air with an air purifier after moxibustion.
