Moxa Stick Ai Tiao 4cm x 20cm Hand-Rolled Moxibustion Bar with 3-Year Aged Golden Moxa Wool for Warming Therapy

Moxa Stick, known in TCM as Ai Tiao (艾条), is a hand-rolled moxibustion bar made from aged mugwort leaf wool (Artemisia argyi). Each 4.0 x 20 cm stick is wrapped in white cotton paper and pressed from three-year-aged golden moxa wool sourced from Nanyang mugwort. In TCM practice, moxa sticks are traditionally burned near the skin to apply gentle warmth to meridian points. For external use only; keep away from flammable materials and never leave a burning stick unattended.
