Three-Year Aged Moxa Sticks Ai Tiao 艾条 Hand-Rolled Mugwort Rolls for Indoor Moxibustion and Aromatic Smoke

Aged Moxa Sticks, known in TCM as Ai Tiao (艾条), are hand-rolled rolls of processed mugwort wool (Ai Rong) made from the leaf of Artemisia argyi. Traditionally used in moxibustion, the sticks are lit to release gentle herbal smoke and warmth. In TCM theory, mugwort leaf is warm in nature and associated with warming the channels.
