8cm Thick Moxa Stick Ai Tiao 20cm Moxibustion Roll for Warming Therapy

Thick Moxa Stick, known in TCM as Ai Tiao (艾条), is a rolled moxibustion stick made from processed mugwort leaf material (Artemisia argyi). Each stick measures 8 cm in diameter and 20 cm in length, sized for external warming applications. In TCM practice, moxa sticks are traditionally lit and held near selected points on the body surface to deliver gentle radiant heat. This is an external-use wellness item and is not intended for ingestion.

Traditional Uses

In TCM practice, moxa sticks made from mugwort are traditionally lit and held a short distance from the skin so radiant warmth reaches selected points and areas of the body. This technique, called ai jiu (艾灸), has long been associated with supporting circulation, easing sensations of cold, and promoting relaxation. Practitioners commonly apply moxa along the back, abdomen, or limbs, and it is traditionally favored in cooler seasons.
