8cm Qiai Moxa Stick Thick Hand-Rolled Mugwort Roll for Whole Body Moxibustion Home and Studio Use

Thick 8.0cm Qiai moxa stick, known in TCM as Qi Ai (蕲艾), made from leaves of Artemisia argyi. This hand-rolled moxa roll is packed in a paper tube for external moxibustion use. In TCM theory, mugwort leaf is warm in nature and pungent and bitter in flavor, traditionally associated with warming the channels and dispelling cold-dampness. Intended for external topical moxibustion only, not for ingestion.
