15:1 Aged Moxa Wool Ai Rong 艾绒 Pure Mugwort Floss for Moxibustion 500g

Aged Moxa Wool, known in TCM as Ai Rong (艾绒), is a soft cotton-like floss prepared from dried leaves of Artemisia argyi. The leaves are repeatedly sun-dried, pounded, crushed, and sifted to remove dust and impurities, yielding a fine, fluffy material with a 15:1 refinement ratio. Traditionally valued in moxibustion practice, it burns steadily without open flame and carries a mild aromatic scent. In TCM theory mugwort leaf is warm in nature and associated with the liver, spleen, and kidney channels. This bulk-grade floss is intended for external moxibustion use and for making moxa sticks or cones.

Traditional Uses

In TCM practice, moxa wool has long been the core material of jiu fa, moxibustion, where the ignited floss is applied near or on the skin to introduce gentle warmth. Traditionally it is rolled into cones for direct use, wrapped into sticks for suspended moxibustion, or attached to needles for warm needle therapy. Coarser grades are commonly used for warm needle work and stick making, while finer grades are preferred for hand-rolled cones. Aged floss is traditionally regarded as smoother burning and milder in aroma.
