Preliminary Study on the Mechanical Effect of Volatile Components of Artemisia Argyi Fumigation on Virus in the Fencing Effect of Epidemic Prevention

Abstract

At present, China has effectively controlled the spread of novel coronavirus COVID-19 by adopting measures such as closure and disinfection. Among them, the traditional method of air mugwort fumigation has played an important role in the prevention and control of epidemics. This method has even been included in the epidemic prevention documents of governments in nine different epidemic areas, which was rare in the past, as shown in Figure 1. This series of events triggered our thoughts on the prevention mechanism of moxa fumigation: to explore the mechanism of the effect of moxa fumigation on the prevention and control of new coronavirus COVID-19, and to make this extremely simple, low-cost and effective method to control the spread of viruses popular in developing and underdeveloped countries on the basis of science.
