PURPOSE:To obtain an excellent material for moxa cautery exhibiting synergistic effect of conventional moxa and germanium and having excellent heating effect as well as permeation effect of organic germanium compound, by mixing a germanium compound to moxa or basidiomycete. CONSTITUTION:A germanium compound is included in moxa or basidiomycete e.g. by spraying and impregnating a germanium compound to moxa or basidiomycete or applying a germanium compound in the culture of basidiomycete to effect the absorption of the germanium compound to basidiomycete. Germanium has skin stimulation effect and permeates into the skin. A moxa produced by this process has excellent combustion property and gives mild heat-stimulation for longer time. Basidiomycete can be directly ignited and has higher heating effect than mugwort moxa. The impregnation effect of organic germanium assimilated by the basidiomycete can be expected. |
