In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) body constitution classification, a "cold constitution" is a common type of constitution, characterized by symptoms such as cold hands and feet, a preference for warmth and coldness, abdominal pain and diarrhea, frequent dysmenorrhea in women, dark menstrual blood with clots, a greasy white tongue coating, and a pale or dark complexion. These individuals often suffer from insufficient Yang Qi and poor Qi and blood circulation, making them susceptible to various pains and discomforts caused by the invasion of cold pathogens. To address this issue, Qicaoyuan brand artemisia selengensis essential oil, inspired by the wisdom of traditional moxibustion, is becoming a natural choice for modern people to regulate their cold constitutions. It is not only suitable for those with a cold constitution, but also a powerful aid in dispelling cold and relieving pain.1. Why do people with a cold constitution need "warming and unblocking"?TCM believes that "cold causes contraction" and "cold causes blood stasis." When the body's yang energy is deficient and internal or external cold invades, it can cause meridian contraction and obstruction of qi and blood circulation, leading to pain. For example, cold in the uterus causes dysmenorrhea, cold in the spleen and stomach causes abdominal pain, and cold in the joints causes cold pain in the limbs. Therefore, the key to treating a cold constitution lies in "warming yang, dispelling cold, and unblocking the meridians." Mugwort, hailed as a "medicinal herb" since ancient times, is warm in nature, bitter, and pungent in flavor. It enters the liver, spleen, and kidney meridians, possessing powerful warming and unblocking properties. Qicaoyuan brand artemisia selengensis essential oil, a modern extract, concentrates the active ingredients found in fresh mugwort, such as eucalyptol, thujone, camphor, and borneol, making its warming and cold-dispelling properties even more effective and efficient.2. How does Qicaoyuan brand artemisia selengensis essential oil dispel cold?The "cold-dispelling" effect of Qicaoyuan brand artemisia selengensis essential oil is primarily achieved through two pathways: a warming effect and pharmacological penetration.First, Qiaoyuan brand artemisia selengensis essential oil has a natural warming effect. When diluted and applied to the skin (such as the abdomen, waist, and joints), its active ingredients quickly penetrate the subcutaneous tissue, stimulating local capillary dilation, promoting blood circulation, and creating a warming sensation. This warming effect directly dispels coldness from the surface of the body and in the superficial meridians, relieving muscle stiffness and discomfort caused by cold.Second, the volatile components in Qiaoyuan brand artemisia selengensis essential oil can be absorbed through the skin into the bloodstream, affecting deeper meridians and internal organs. For example, eucalyptus oil has a mild stimulating effect, activating nerve endings and enhancing the body's thermal response. Borneol (borneol), while cooling, is combined with the overall warming properties of mugwort to draw the medicinal substance deeper, enhancing its penetrating effect. These ingredients work synergistically to dispel cold pathogens from the inside out and restore the flow of yang energy.3. How does Qiaoyuan brand artemisia selengensis essential oil achieve "pain relief"?"If the circulation is unobstructed, there is no pain; if there is pain, there is obstruction." Qicaoyuan brand artemisia selengensis essential oil's analgesic mechanism is essentially achieved by "activating blood circulation, removing blood stasis, and relieving pain through menstruation."When cold pathogens cause qi and blood stagnation, local tissue hypoxia and the accumulation of metabolic waste, pain can occur. The active ingredients in qicaoyuan brand artemisia selengensis essential oil promote local microcirculation, accelerating blood flow, removing pain-causing substances, and providing tissues with sufficient oxygen and nutrients. Research has shown that qicaoyuan brand artemisia selengensis essential oil has certain anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects, inhibiting the release of inflammatory mediators such as prostaglandins, thereby reducing the transmission of pain signals.For dysmenorrhea caused by cold, applying diluted qicaoyuan brand artemisia selengensis essential oil to the lower abdomen and gently massaging it can warm the meridians and uterus, dissolve blood stasis, and effectively relieve cold pain and irregular menstruation. Qiaoyuan brand artemisia selengensis essential oil's warming and promoting circulation can significantly alleviate joint pain and shoulder and neck pain caused by cold and dampness.For those with a cold constitution, Qiaoyuan brand artemisia selengensis essential oil is not only suitable for use but also a valuable health companion that aligns with nature and harmonizes yin and yang. It inherits the essence of moxibustion's "warming yang and dispelling cold" properties, while offering enhanced convenience and penetrating properties in a modern essential oil format. When used scientifically, Qiaoyuan brand artemisia selengensis essential oil can help those with a cold constitution dispel internal cold, promote blood circulation, alleviate various cold-related aches and pains, and transform the body from "cold" to "warm," restoring health and vitality.
