Five Year Aged Moxa Rolls Handmade Pure Mugwort Floss for Traditional Moxibustion Home Use

Five Year Aged Moxa Rolls, known in TCM as Ai Tiao (艾条), are made from Artemisia argyi leaf floss. These handmade rolls use five-year aged mugwort with a 5:1 floss ratio, a form traditionally valued in moxibustion practice. In TCM theory, mugwort is warm, bitter and pungent, entering the liver, spleen and kidney channels. Traditionally used for warming and supporting yang, it is commonly applied externally in moxibustion and should not be ingested.

It is commonly applied externally over acupoints or affected areas, sometimes paired with ginger or salt, and is not used as food or drink.
