Aged Moxa Sticks, known in TCM as Ai Tiao (艾条), are hand-rolled rolls made from 25:1 refined moxa wool processed from the leaves of Artemisia argyi, a plant long valued in Chinese herbal practice. These five-year aged sticks burn steadily with a mild, warm aroma and are traditionally used for external moxibustion over selected body areas. Each stick measures 1.8 cm in diameter and 20 cm in length, with 10 sticks per box. For external use only; keep away from skin contact with flame and use with proper moxibustion tools.

Traditional Uses

In TCM theory, moxibustion with aged mugwort sticks is traditionally associated with warming the channels and supporting circulation through gentle heat applied near the skin. Ai Tiao has long been used in folk practice during cooler seasons and is commonly paired with moxa boxes, smokeless holders, or point-specific application. The aged, high-ratio wool is traditionally preferred for a slower, more even burn.
