Moxa sticks

Recently I always feel there is a bad smell in the house. I happen to have moxa sticks at home, and I want to use them to fumigate the house. I would like to ask what is the appropriate way to fumigate the room with moxa sticks? Is it okay to fumigate the room with moxa sticks?

The proper way to fumigate a room with moxa sticks

1 When using moxa sticks to fumigate the room, you must first close the door of the room, light the moxa stick, and place it in a relatively empty and safe place. After everyone leaves, close the windows and doors. Then after a period of time, about 30 minutes, you can enter the room and open the windows for ventilation.

Is it okay to fumigate the room with moxa sticks?

2 It is recommended that people should not be in the room when the moxa stick is applied to the fumigated room.

Moxibustion patches will produce a lot of volatile oil and smoke after being ignited, which can easily cause changes in the skin and mucous membranes of the human body. Severe cases may also cause skin allergies. It may also cause nerve excitement, leading to insomnia, which will affect a person's physical and mental health to a certain extent. Therefore, do not interact with others in the room when fumigating moxa sticks.

What are the benefits of fumigating the room with moxa sticks?

3. The moxa smoke produced after igniting the moxibustion patch can sterilize the indoor air and eliminate bacteria in the air. You can breathe healthy air after ventilation. Especially in rainy seasons, the moisture in the air increases, and the frequency of using air conditioners increases. Without regular ventilation, the air is not circulated, which makes it easy for bacteria to grow. In a humid room, fumigating the room with moxa sticks can have the effects of sterilization and deodorization.

Common problems with moxa fumigation rooms

1. Pay attention to fire safety. The moxibustion patch should be placed on porcelain or glass and other non-flammable objects, and be careful not to place anything easily flammable around the ignited moxibustion patch.

2. It is best to close the windows and doors for about half an hour after igniting the moxa patch, so that there is enough time to disinfect the room. During the time when the moxa patch is lit, it is best not to enter the room.

3. After the room is fumigated with moxa sticks, it is recommended to ventilate it first to prevent people who are sensitive to moxa smoke from inhaling it.
