Traditional Uses

In traditional Chinese practice, moxa sticks made from aged Artemisia argyi wool are lit and held near the skin or specific points to apply gentle radiant warmth, a technique known as jiu (灸). Traditionally associated with supporting circulation and warming the body, moxibustion is often used in cooler seasons and paired with acupuncture in classical TCM clinics.
