Wormwood Cigars (Moxa-Rolls)- A Natural Generator of Microwave Radiation
Yanenko OP, Golovchanskyi OМ, Golovchanska ОD, and Shevchenko KL
Abstract
The article presents the results of a study of the microwave parameters of the thermal state of moxa for moxibustion. The theoretical and physical basis of such research is described. Information is presented on research objects - moxa-rolls of different compositions and manufacturers. The characteristics and description of the unique radiometric equipment and research methodology are given. As a result of experimental measurements, it became clear that smoldering cigars (moxa-rolls) generate not only infrared, but also microwave radiation. At the same time, the level of microwave radiation is almost 100 times higher than the level of human radiation, which creates an additional therapeutic effect. It was established that cigars of different brands and with different additional fillings have the same level of radiation. The conducted studies allow us to assert the possible complex effect on the patient of both the thermal and microwave components of the output signal of the wormwood cigar (moxy). The mechanism of action of the entire spectrum of moxa radiation requires a deeper study, from the point of view of evidence-based medicine for use in the medical practice.
