Every year in August and September, people easily fall prey to "damp-cold toxins"


sneezing, stuffy nose, dizziness, and cold hands and feet at the slightest provocation







This is the cold accumulated in the body acting up,

and combined with a habit of fearing heat and craving coolness, the yang qi in the body dwindles more and more, and all kinds of minor ailments follow one after another, seriously affecting our health.







When yang qi is weak, the dampness in the body becomes even more rampant; the hands and feet turn cold the moment the air conditioning comes on, you feel listless all day, your scalp gets greasy, and even your stools lose their form...




Over time,

it will not only

affect women's menstruation and reproductive function

, but men may also

suffer from sexual dysfunction

, with very serious consequences!







The Huangdi Neijing tells us:

"As for yang qi, if it loses its place like the sky and the sun, then life is shortened and not made manifest"

, meaning that gradually depleting yang qi will damage your health.




To protect everyone's health,

today the editor recommends one for you that lets you replenish yang qi just by sitting on it, for easy health maintenance

Aixiutang mugwort floss

seat cushion

。







The magic of this cushion lies in this:

just sit on it every day, and it can

replenish yang qi, warm the meridians and dispel cold, and promote blood circulation through the meridians

, and by sitting on it your body will be in great shape all year round!







--Health maintenance even while sitting--





The famous physician Li Shizhen once said: "Only when this vessel moves do all vessels become unobstructed; when one is unobstructed, all are unobstructed, and the whole body is at peace." What he meant was

the

Huiyin acupoint

,

in our body, which is the pivotal acupoint connecting the body's essence, qi, and spirit,

and if it can be opened up, then a person's body will also improve.







Modern research confirms

that the wavelength and frequency of mugwort match those of the human body most closely

, and the heat given off by mugwort can spread to every inch of skin on the body!??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????




When you first sit on it there is a slight chill, then slowly a warm qi enters the body from the intestines,

warming the womb, the lower jiao, and the five viscera and six bowels

!??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????





*When the weather turns cool, it can also be used to warm the belly




As the qi channels open up, the heat of the mugwort floss slowly reaches the Huiyin acupoint.

It warms the five viscera and six bowels, stimulates the acupoint, and accelerates local blood circulation, thereby alleviating diarrhea, menstrual pain, uterine cold, and other conditions caused by insufficient yang qi.

The Huiyin acupoint is an important acupoint on the Ren and Du meridians; opening the Huiyin acupoint also opens the body's

gate to longevity.







Of course, mugwort floss itself does not generate heat, but

it can interact with body temperature

。




because its

volatile oil content is abundant

, so even without lighting it, when a person sits on it they feel warm and comfortable, replenishing yang qi for the body, warming from the feet to the hands.







After sitting on it for a long time, the body's qi and blood flow much more smoothly, the hands and feet can warm up, the shoulders, neck, and knees are no longer so stiff, and the soreness during movement naturally eases.






And modern people's lives are always inseparable from "sitting"; whether working, eating, or riding in a vehicle, the "sitting" posture is indispensable. This posture even occupies more than

half

of our lives, so using "sitting" for health maintenance is very wise.

Qichun mugwort floss, warming and unblocking the meridians

As the saying goes:

"Keep mugwort by your side, and the doctor will not darken your door"

, mugwort is a treasure the Chinese people cannot do without.








It has

effects such as replenishing yang qi, dispelling cold and removing dampness, calming the mind and aiding sleep, treating cervical spondylosis, sterilizing and fighting toxins, and regulating menstruation and stopping bleeding

, and its

four major benefits

have always been loved by health experts.




Consolidating yang and removing dampness:

Made from five-year-aged mugwort floss, with the strongest medicinal power; sleeping on it every day lets the medicinal power circulate through the whole body, slowly helping you replenish the yang qi within and dispel damp-cold.


 


Calming the mind and aiding sleep:

Inhaling the faint fragrance slowly released by the mugwort floss soothes and relaxes the brain nerves and body, with a good sleep-aiding effect.





 


Relaxing the shoulders and neck:

If folded up and used as a nap pillow, the heat from the head is conducted to the mugwort floss to produce mugwort warmth, like a gentle moxibustion session; you wake up refreshed and comfortable, and shoulder and neck problems are effectively relieved.


 


Repelling mosquitoes and fighting mites:

Experiments show that mugwort floss has natural antibacterial, mosquito-repelling, and mite-killing and mite-fighting effects, and does not easily breed mites and bacteria; even without lighting mosquito coils, mosquitoes will not annoyingly buzz by your ear.




The Bencao Gangmu records:

"The mugwort leaf, the materia medica says, grows in fields and wilds, and that from Qizhou is the best; a single moxibustion with Qichun mugwort penetrates straight through, which is what makes it special"

。







The ancient city of Qizhou in Hubei




Every stalk of mugwort comes from an 8000-mu

Qichun mugwort planting base.







Its trace elements and heat are better than those of other production areas; Qichun mugwort is at its peak around the Dragon Boat Festival, with plump leaves and the best warming ability.







Qichun mugwort is one of the "Four Treasures of Qichun" (Qichun bamboo, Qichun mugwort, Qichun snake, Qichun turtle); it is a traditional Chinese medicinal herb specialty of Qichun County and also a China National Geographical Indication product, with both stems and leaves usable as medicine. Qichun mugwort contains

17 kinds of

known compounds, and Qichun mugwort oil has obvious

anti-asthmatic, antitussive, expectorant, and anti-inflammatory

effects.







Making such a cushion filled with "mugwort core" requires at least

8 production steps

, and the hardship involved is probably something only the makers can appreciate.











It uses mugwort leaves picked around the Dragon Boat Festival, because their volatile oil content is

2 times

that of ordinary mugwort leaves, so the yang qi that penetrates into the body is all the more abundant.




The well-aged mugwort leaves are placed into a stone mortar; this is

an ancient method passed down for three thousand years

, and only by pounding repeatedly with human power can the mugwort floss produced be of the finest quality!??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????







After pounding for a while, the impurities must be sifted out once, and this is repeated

, so that only the

mugwort leaf

essence -- mugwort floss -- is left behind,

and the mugwort floss beaten from superior mugwort leaves is fine and continuous, soft as animal down when held in the hand.







To make one 1-jin mugwort floss cushion requires nearly

50 jin

of fresh mugwort leaves,

roughly equivalent to 25000 leaves

。







This cushion in a 42×42cm specification is filled with a full

450g of mugwort floss

, which both ensures the cushion's warming effect and makes the cushion thick and elastic.








--Skin-friendly material, thoughtful design--




Feel the mugwort floss cushion: the material is thick, the stitches are fine and dense, and there is almost nothing to find fault with in the workmanship; the whole mugwort floss cushion is square and thick, with just the right warmth.







Skin-friendly and not drying; it uses

traditional dyed cotton-linen fabric from Hong'an, Hubei

,

It does not easily pill,

feels gentle

without being stiff, and

has good breathability

,

The warming properties of the mugwort floss can permeate out to the greatest extent

。








After many discussions and samples, it uses

a plain weave

and has undergone

mercerizing treatment

, so the fabric surface will not let medicinal powder seep through; it feels silky and soft, and will not be stiff and hard like the fabrics of ordinary household items, without any bounce.







32-count

cotton yarn inner lining cloth,

40-count

cotton yarn outer cloth,

hand-sewn plain-woven fabric, not easy to fade or shrink,

filled with floss and patted even, with 16-grid quilting to keep the mugwort floss from clumping,

with delicate edging and fine craftsmanship.







Fine stitching and hidden zipper to protect you from being scratched.







Its outer layer, heating layer, and mugwort pack can all

be removed separately

, making it suitable not only for a variety of settings but also easier to clean.








Soft and comfortable, it gives the hips enough cushioning, effectively prevents the hips from spreading outward, and maintains natural curves - a thoughtful little design you simply cannot be more satisfied with~







The color is chosen from the twenty-two shades of indigo dyeing:

"retained navy blue"

, which preserves the traditional characteristic of indigo dyeing in recording daily life, simple yet elegant. Amid noisy, dazzling colors, blue and white, for their plainness, achieve elegance, and for their clarity, reveal gentleness.







After a period of time, the mugwort velvet cushion can be placed under the sun to air out, in order to extend its service life.







Sitting on the mugwort velvet cushion, you can feel the heat energy generated by its interaction with body temperature, and without realizing it you can

warm the meridians and dispel cold, tonify yang and invigorate blood, inhibit bacteria and disinfect

. Even after sitting for a long time in hot weather, you will not feel tired. It is suitable for those who exercise little and often sit and develop cold.








It can also be placed on a desk for a short nap,

It is not only suitable for use at home and in the office,

but placing one in the car also fills it with mugwort fragrance~
