Traditional Uses

In traditional Chinese herbal practice, Ai Cao (艾草) is associated with warming, dispersing, and soothing qualities, and is commonly used in external preparations such as balms, compresses, and foot soaks. This green herb balm follows that external-use tradition, applying the cooling and soothing properties of herbal extracts to the skin. It is traditionally used after exposure to water, wind, or outdoor elements for comfort, and is not intended for internal consumption.
