How to use mugwort and its price

1. How to use

1. Fumigation with moxa: Dry the moxa and crush it into moxa wool, and then process it into moxa sticks. After lighting the moxa sticks, place them near the acupuncture points and fumigate them. This will remove the coldness in the body and have a significant effect on relieving symptoms such as back pain. It can also treat some diseases in combination with cupping and acupuncture.

2. Foot soaking: Soaking feet with mugwort is also a common usage. Soak the mugwort in boiling water for 5-10 minutes, then take it out and add water to adjust the water temperature. You can soak your feet when the temperature is suitable. This method can promote blood circulation and treat symptoms such as colds caused by the invasion of cold air.

3. Sachet: Mugwort has the effect of repelling mosquitoes and killing bacteria, so it is also suitable for being placed on the body or hung on the body. If you place it on the body, you usually need to make a sachet. The method of making the sachet is relatively simple. Just dry it, crush it and put it into a bag.

4. Beauty: Mugwort has beauty effects, but it needs to be burned into ashes before use. Mix it with your facial cleanser to leave your face feeling refreshed after washing. In addition, if you have acne on your face, apply it to the acne, and it will soon become dry and no acne marks will be left after the acne is removed.

5. Edibility: Mugwort is edible. Its young shoots can be eaten as vegetables. It cannot be eaten directly after it gets old, but it can be used to make juice. The juice and flour can be made into various pasta. It is also used in some snacks, such as mugwort balls, glutinous rice cakes, etc.
