Moxa Stick Ai Tiao 1.8cm Ten Year Aged Mugwort Moxibustion Roll for Warming Therapy

Moxa Stick, known in TCM as Ai Tiao (艾条), is a tightly rolled cylinder made from aged mugwort leaves of Artemisia argyi. This 1.8cm stick is crafted from ten-year aged moxa wool in a 30:1 refined ratio, meaning thirty parts of raw leaf yield one part of processed moxa. In TCM practice, moxibustion is traditionally used to warm meridians and support circulation. For external use only.

Traditional Uses

In TCM theory, moxibustion with aged mugwort is traditionally associated with warming the meridians, dispelling cold, and supporting qi and blood circulation. Practitioners traditionally apply lit moxa sticks near points such as Zusanli (ST36) or Guanyuan (CV4), holding the stick a few centimeters from the skin until gentle warmth spreads. Aged moxa is traditionally preferred for smoother, gentler burning.
