Traditional Uses

In TCM theory, Ai Ye (艾叶) is warm in nature and traditionally associated with warming the channels, dispersing cold, and supporting the flow of qi and blood. Traditional moxibustion applies heat near acupoints or affected areas. This self-heating patch adapts that concept into a convenient external format, traditionally used for warming the neck, shoulders, knees, waist, and abdomen. Commonly applied during cold or damp seasons as part of folk wellness practice.
