5-Year Aged Moxa Stick 6cm x 20cm Pure Mugwort Ai Tiao for Moxibustion

Large-format moxibustion stick, known in TCM as Ai Tiao (艾条), hand-rolled from pure aged mugwort leaves and moxa floss from Artemisia argyi. This 6 cm thick, 20 cm long stick is made from five-year aged Ai Ye (艾叶), traditionally valued in Chinese moxibustion practice for its warm nature and gentle, steady burn. Used externally over acupoint areas with a moxa holder or by hand, it supports traditional warming and circulation routines. Keep away from skin contact during burning and use in a ventilated space.
