What are the applications of mugwort extract?

Mugwort extract is often used as a Chinese medicinal material in daily life, but in most cases, using mugwort directly is sometimes troublesome, so with mugwort extract, it will be more convenient to use in hospitals.

1. Production Process

With water-ethanol as the extraction solvent, heat and reflux extraction for three times, each time for 2 hours, combine the extracts, discard the residues, concentrate the extracts to recover ethanol, evaporate the water, and adopt spray drying to obtain wormwood leaf extract powder, grind the powder with a grinder, sieve with a 100-120 mesh rocking vibrating screen to obtain 100-120 mesh powder, mix with a mixer for 1 hour, and use export-grade cardboard barrels for packaging, the inner layer of which is a double-layer polyvinyl chloride plastic bag, usually 25KG/barrel, for storage.

2. Application

1. Mugwort is a traditional Chinese medicinal material. It is mostly used in compound decoctions and is still used by most doctors and hospitals. However, it is still troublesome to use. After the process of extraction and refinement, the original ingredients of the medicinal material are retained, the trouble of decoction is reduced, and the efficacy of the original medicinal material is not affected.

2. The extraction rate of mugwort is generally 20%, that is, the ratio of medicinal materials and extracts is 5:1. The dosage of mugwort extract can be determined according to this ratio. If the prescription requires 10g, only 2g of extract is needed.

3. The medicinal materials used in traditional Chinese medicine foot bathing in the foot bath industry are also mainly mugwort, but they are generally made by the merchants themselves. If mugwort extract is used, this process can be omitted and the mugwort extract powder can be directly dissolved in water for use.

The industrialized production of mugwort extract facilitates the use of mugwort medicinal materials.
