Moxa Sticks Ai Tiao 艾条 Hand-Rolled Moxibustion Rolls 1.8cm x 20cm for Warming Therapy

Stone-Ground Moxa Sticks, known in TCM as Ai Tiao (艾条), are hand-rolled rolls made from aged mugwort wool (Artemisia argyi) for external moxibustion use. In TCM theory, mugwort is warm in nature and traditionally associated with warming the channels and supporting circulation. Each stick burns steadily with a mild herbal aroma and is intended for external topical use only, not for ingestion.
