Aged Moxa Cones, known in TCM as Ai Tuo (艾坨), are cone-shaped moxibustion pieces made from compressed five-year aged mugwort floss (Artemisia argyi). Each cone is designed for indirect moxibustion, including ginger-separated moxibustion, where heat is gently transferred to the skin.

Traditional Uses

In TCM practice, moxibustion with Artemisia argyi floss is traditionally used to warm the meridians, support circulation, and ease sensations of cold and dampness. Cones are commonly placed on ginger slices, salt, or protective barriers over selected points, then lit so heat passes gently to the skin. This method has long been part of seasonal wellness routines, especially in colder months.
