Moxa Sticks Ai Tiao 1.8x20cm 10 Pack Hand Rolled 5 Year Aged Mugwort for Moxibustion

Moxa Sticks, known in TCM as Ai Tiao (艾条), are hand rolled from five year aged mugwort leaves of Artemisia argyi. Each stick measures 1.8 x 20 cm and burns with steady smoldering heat for traditional moxibustion practice. In TCM theory, aged moxa is valued for its mild, warming nature and even burn. For external warming use only, keep away from skin contact and flammable materials.

Traditional Uses

In TCM practice, moxibustion involves burning moxa sticks near selected points on the body to apply gentle radiant warmth. Traditionally associated with supporting circulation, easing sensations of cold, and promoting relaxation, moxa is often used in seasonal wellness routines. Practitioners commonly pair moxibustion with acupuncture or massage. The stick is lit, allowed to smolder, and held at a comfortable distance from the skin.
