Mugwort Cervical Knee Lumbar Heat Patch Herbal Self Heating Stick-On Patch

Mugwort heat patches, known in TCM as Ai Cao (艾草) from Artemisia argyi, are self-heating stick-on herbal patches for the neck, shoulders, knees, and lower back. Made with non-woven fabric and a warming herbal layer, they are traditionally associated with warming meridians, dispersing cold, and easing localized stiffness. In TCM theory mugwort is warm and bitter, entering the Liver, Spleen, and Kidney channels. Apply externally to clean dry skin for targeted warmth.
