Traditional Uses

In TCM practice, mugwort leaf is the classic material for moxibustion, where processed moxa is burned near or on acupuncture points to apply gentle warmth. Traditionally associated with warming the meridians and supporting circulation, aged moxa floss is preferred for smoother and more even burning. Practitioners commonly roll it into sticks or cones, often paired with ginger or salt barriers in traditional indirect moxibustion methods.
