Moxa Stick, known in TCM as Ai Tiao (艾条), is a rolled moxibustion stick made from aged mugwort leaves (Artemisia argyi) processed into soft moxa wool. In TCM practice, moxa sticks are traditionally burned near the skin to apply gentle warmth to acupuncture points and meridians. This roll is wrapped in white cotton paper for steady, even burning.
