Aged Mugwort Moxa Wool Ai Rong 5 Year Pure Ai Ye for Moxibustion and Ginger Moxa

Aged Mugwort Moxa Wool, known in TCM as Ai Rong (艾绒), made from the processed leaf of Artemisia argyi, the plant traditionally called Qi Ai (蕲艾) in China. This golden moxa wool is finely ground and aged for five years, producing a soft, fluffy fiber used in moxibustion, ginger moxa, and grain moxa techniques. In TCM theory, mugwort leaf is warm in nature and associated with the liver, spleen, and kidney channels. Traditionally used in external warming practices, it is intended for topical moxibustion use only.

Traditional Uses

In traditional Chinese practice, aged mugwort wool is the classic material for moxibustion, where it is burned near or on the skin surface to apply gentle warmth to acupuncture points. It is traditionally used in ginger moxa, salt moxa, and grain moxa methods, and is commonly shaped into cones or rolled into sticks. Aged moxa is traditionally preferred because it is considered gentler and less acrid than fresh material.
