I can't. Some chemical components of moldy moxa have changed, producing harmful substances to the human body. For the sake of health, moldy moxa sticks cannot be used. Ai Tiao is a cylindrical long roll made by wrapping Ai Rong with cotton paper. Ai Tiao is mainly used for moxibustion. Moxibustion is one of the oldest medical practices in China.
The storage method of moxa sticks:
1. The best storage conditions are in a ventilated and dry place, and packaged in self sealing bags. Especially during the Huangmei season in the south, it often rains and has heavy humidity. You can wrap the mugwort in a large plastic bag and place it high to prevent it from becoming damp when placed low. Large quantities can be packaged in plastic bags and stored in small cardboard boxes. Generally, plastic sealed bags are used for household storage and placed in a dry place. It can be stored for three to five years without any problems.
2. Ai Rong is generally very dry and easily damp, so it is important to avoid moisture. Even if it is packaged in a self sealing bag in a dry room, the moisture in the air will gradually be absorbed over time, leading to a phenomenon of moisture regain. Moisturized moxa sticks may experience an increase in smoke when used, which is normal. Place the moxa sticks in direct sunlight to release moisture as soon as possible. After drying, the smoke from the moxa sticks will decrease significantly.
3. Even if the mugwort is not very damp, every summer, find a day with good weather and plenty of sunshine to take out all the mugwort and mugwort to dry, preferably around 1-2 noon, and hang them outside for about 2 hours. On the one hand, it can remove moisture, and on the other hand, it can allow the mugwort to fully absorb the yang energy of the sun and improve its performance.
