Hand-rolled moxibustion sticks known in TCM as Ai Tiao (艾条), made from five-year aged mugwort (Artemisia argyi) moxa wool wrapped in mulberry paper. Each thick 4cm stick is designed for indirect moxibustion, a traditional warming practice in which the burning stick is held near selected points on the body. In TCM theory, mugwort is warm in nature and traditionally associated with warming the channels. For external use only; keep away from skin and flammable materials.

Traditional Uses

Moxibustion is traditionally associated with warming the meridians, supporting circulation, and dispelling cold, and is commonly used in seasonal wellness routines. Practitioners often pair it with acupuncture or self-care point work.
