First, wormwood sticks should be completely extinguished and cooled after use. Before storage, make sure that the wormwood sticks are completely extinguished and cooled to room temperature. This is to prevent accidental fires or damage to the quality of the wormwood sticks during storage.
Second, sealed storage is the key. Put the wormwood sticks in a sealed bag or sealed can to prevent moisture and impurities from the air from entering. Sealed storage can effectively keep the wormwood sticks dry and pure and extend their service life.
Third, choose a dry environment for storage. Wormwood sticks should be stored in a dry, ventilated place, avoiding humidity and high temperature environments. Humidity can cause wormwood sticks to mold and deteriorate, while high temperatures may accelerate the volatilization of their medicinal effects.
Fourth, prevent odor loss. The medicinal effect and fragrance of wormwood sticks are important components of it, and the odor should be avoided as much as possible during storage. In addition to sealed storage, you can also add a small packet of desiccant to the storage container to help maintain the fragrance of the wormwood sticks.
Fifth, check the status of the wormwood sticks regularly. During storage, regularly check whether the wormwood sticks are damp, moldy or have odor. If any abnormality is found, it should be handled in time to avoid affecting the effect of use.
Sixth, avoid direct sunlight. Long-term direct sunlight may cause the active ingredients in wormwood sticks to decompose, thereby reducing their efficacy. Therefore, wormwood sticks should be stored in a cool place and avoid direct sunlight.
Finally, for wormwood sticks that have been opened and partially used, they should be used up as soon as possible. Because wormwood sticks after opening are more susceptible to factors such as air and humidity, long-term storage may cause the efficacy to weaken or fail.
By sealing and storing, choosing a dry environment, preventing odor loss, regular inspections, and avoiding direct sunlight, the service life of wormwood sticks can be effectively extended and their failure can be avoided.
