摘要
古往今来,艾灸被广泛应用于治病、保健、养生诸多方面,艾灸疗法成为中国传统医学的重要组成部分。艾灸疗法是以艾绒为主要施灸材料,艾绒是由菊科植物艾(Artemisia argyi Levl.etVant.)的干燥叶加工而成。本文考查了古今文献后发现,古代医籍、本草著作对艾叶的性味功能和临床应用有丰富的记载,对灸用艾叶制绒的工艺和质量也有明确要求。古代艾绒的制作是采用人工将艾叶"捣筛"处理后得到艾绒;现代艾绒的制作主要采用机械粉碎艾叶后再经筛滤而得。
Moxibustion therapy has been regarded as an integral part of traditional Chinese medicine over the ages.It is widely used in many areas,including treatment of diseases,health care and health preservation.The main combustion material in moxibustion therapy is the moxa floss,which is made from the dried leaves of Artemisia argyi Levl.et Vant.We reviewed ancient and modern literatures and found that there were plentiful records on the nature and flavor,functions and clinical applications of mugwort.There were also specific requirements on the processing and quality of moxa floss.In ancient times,moxa floss was obtained through the physical labor of pounding and sieving mugwort,while modern moxa floss is largely produced by crushing and sieving mugwort using mechanical processing.
