Mugwort Leaf & Moxa Floss (Artemisia argyi) — Dried Herb for Bath, Foot Soak & Moxibustion

Mugwort Leaf and Moxa Floss (Artemisia argyi) are the dried leaf and processed leaf-down of a highly revered traditional herb known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Ài Yè (艾叶). For centuries, Ai Ye has been prized as a warming, yang-supporting, and channel-warming herb, used to dispel cold, dry dampness, ease the body, and support women's wellness. Its nature is bitter, pungent, and warm, making it a deeply comforting herb for warming the body, soothing the skin, and supporting the free flow of qi and blood.
