Aged Mugwort Floss (Artemisia argyi) — 3-Year Hand-Ground Moxa Floss, 500g

Aged Mugwort Floss (Artemisia argyi) is the finely ground, softly fibrous leaf preparation of a highly revered traditional herb known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Ài Yè (艾叶), with this batch rendered as Ài Róng (艾绒). For centuries, Ai Ye has been prized as a warming, yang-supporting, and channel-warming herb, used to dispel cold, dry dampness, ease the body, and support the free flow of qi and blood. Its nature is warm, bitter, and aromatic, making it a deeply comforting herb for warming the middle, soothing the lower body, and harmonizing the body's internal environment.

Quality & Sensory

Each batch is slowly stone-ground and sifted to preserve its soft, downy texture, pale golden-green color, and clean, herbal aroma. The floss feels light and airy between the fingers, with no coarse stems or grit. When warmed or burned, it releases a gentle, woody, slightly sweet smoke with a mellow, earthy fragrance rather than a sharp or acrid one.

As a daily practice, aged moxa floss is burned or warmed in the home to create a calm, grounding atmosphere, and it is also tucked into sachets and pillows for its clean, herbal aroma.
