Traditional Uses

In TCM practice, moxibustion with aged mugwort wool is traditionally used to warm the meridians, dispel cold, and support circulation and comfort. Cones may be burned directly on a protected point or placed in a moxa box, with common focus areas including the lower back, abdomen, and joints. Aged moxa is traditionally preferred for a gentler, more even burn.
