Traditional Uses

In traditional Chinese practice, mugwort is the classic herb of moxibustion, where its warmth is applied near or on the body to encourage comfortable circulation and dispel cold. Folk use extends to warming patches placed over the lower back, abdomen, joints, and soles, especially in winter or around menstruation. This modern patch format adapts that tradition into a smokeless, adhesive application.
