Traditional Uses

In traditional Chinese medicine, aged mugwort floss has long been the standard material for moxibustion, a practice in which the burning herb is applied near or on the skin to warm the meridians and dispel cold and dampness. It is traditionally associated with supporting circulation, easing stiffness, and tonifying yang qi. Practitioners often roll it into cones of varying sizes or pack it into smokeless sticks and boxes for targeted point work.
