Homemade steam medicine bag

Nowadays, health preservation has become a topic that receives more and more attention. Many people also use various health preservation methods to promote their physical health and improve various health problems in their bodies. And sweat steaming with medicated bags is one of them. Of course, the efficacy and effects of medicine packages made with different formula configurations are not the same. Below, I will introduce to you in detail the method of making homemade Chinese medicine bags.

In winter, many people will feel soreness, chills and pain around the neck. Hot compress with homemade Chinese medicine bags can dredge the meridians, dispel cold and dampness. It can be used before massage, while watching TV or using the computer. It is especially suitable for middle-aged and elderly people.

The specific method is: 120 grams each of mugwort, calamus, and ginger, 20 grams each of papaya, geranium, radix spatholobi, herba striataes, angelica sinensis, and angelica dahurica, 15 grams of fennel, and 10 grams of salt. Mix them together, put them into a gauze bag, sew it up, heat it in a microwave, and apply hot compress for 15 to 20 minutes.

Mugwort can dispel cold and relieve pain; Acorus calamus can promote blood circulation, dispel wind and remove dampness; ginger can induce sweating and relieve exterior symptoms; papaya can remove dampness; geranium, radix spatholobi, herba spatholobi and angelica dahurica can dispel wind and dampness, relax muscles and activate collaterals; Angelica dahurica can resist inflammation and relieve pain; fennel can be aromatic and invigorate the mind; salt can reduce swelling and relieve pain. All the medicines work together to achieve the effect of dredging meridians, dispelling cold and removing dampness. It should be noted that due to its strong volatility, the medicine needs to be changed after about 5 uses. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that each individual is different and treatment should be based on syndrome differentiation. If used, be sure to consult a doctor.

In addition to catching cold and working at a desk for a long time, cervical pain caused by bone hyperplasia is also very common. In this case, it is more effective to use a Chinese medicine bag for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis: mix 120g each of Evodia rutaecarpa and Millettia reticulata, 20g each of turmeric, shallot, mulberry root, Prunella vulgaris, Trillium, Curcuma longa, Codonopsis pilosula, and Acanthopanax acanthopanax, put them into a gauze bag, sew it up, heat it in the microwave and apply hot compress for 15 to 20 minutes.

Likewise, adding mint as a fragrance can make the effect even better, but the efficacy will decrease after three uses. Director Liu Guangrui also introduced that in addition to being suitable for cervical pain, this medicine pack is also particularly effective for unexplained lumps, lumbar hyperplasia and breast hyperplasia.

Most elderly people suffer from liver and kidney deficiency, insufficient qi and blood, and when wind, cold and dampness invade, qi and blood are blocked, tendons, veins and joints are not nourished, resulting in joint pain, numbness, and difficulty in flexion and extension. Therefore, the medicinal materials used in homemade Chinese medicine knee pads are mainly used to warm the meridians and dispel cold, remove dampness and relieve arthritis. You can take 5 grams of dried ginger, 10 grams each of cinnamon, Evodia rutaecarpa, Zanthoxylum bungeanum, cloves, Angelica dahurica, Notopterygium wilfordii, and Cyperus rotundus, grind them into powder so that their medicinal effects can be fully released after heating. Also take a few grams of coarse salt, mix them, and put them into a soft two-layer cotton bag. After the knee pad is made, you can heat it slightly in a microwave before use. Then hold the bag and roll it around the knee joint until you feel a slight warmth in the knee joint. Then use an elastic band to secure the knee pad to the knee joint.
