Moxa Sticks, known in TCM as Ai Zhu (艾柱), are compact moxibustion cones made from aged mugwort leaves, Artemisia argyi. Each cone is pressed from three-year aged Ai Ye, traditionally valued in moxibustion practice for its gentle penetrating warmth. In TCM theory, mugwort is warm in nature and associated with the liver, spleen, and kidney channels. These cones are designed for external use with a moxibustion holder or professional guidance.
