Mugwort has long been considered the "king" of herbs for treating bone and joint diseases due to its warming properties and high content of essential oils with anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving capabilities. The combination of the heat of roasted mugwort and the heat-retaining properties of coarse salt creates a warm energy that penetrates deep into the acupoints, helping to soften muscles and dissolve bruises or blockages.<\/p>\n
This remedy is incredibly simple and anyone can do it at home. You just need to choose a bunch of mature mugwort, wash it thoroughly, let it dry, and then cut it into pieces. Next, put the mugwort in a hot pan with a bowl of coarse salt and roast it until the leaves wilt and the salt turns yellow, emitting a strong, characteristic aroma. Wrap this hot mixture in a thick cloth or fabric bag and apply it directly to the painful area such as the back, shoulders, neck, or knees. When the compress cools, you can reheat it by roasting again and continue applying it. Consistently doing this every night before bed will not only effectively reduce pain but also improve blood circulation, leading to a better and deeper sleep for the patient.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
