Aged Moxa Wool Ai Rong 60:1 Ratio 500g Loose Artemisia Argyi Floss for Moxibustion and Warm Therapy

Aged Moxa Wool, known in TCM as Ai Rong (艾绒), is soft golden floss processed from the dried leaf of Artemisia argyi. This 60:1 ratio grade is finely ground by traditional stone milling and aged for three years to reduce harshness. In TCM theory, mugwort leaf is warm in nature and associated with the liver, spleen, and kidney channels. Traditionally used for moxibustion and warm external therapy, it is intended for external use only.

Traditional Uses

In traditional Chinese practice, aged mugwort floss has been the standard material for moxibustion, burned over or near acupuncture points to introduce gentle warmth. Practitioners traditionally favor aged floss because it is considered milder and burns more evenly. It is commonly rolled into cones, packed into moxa boxes, or used in warm external applications on the back, abdomen, and joints.
