Traditionally used as an insulating layer in ginger moxibustion, it is placed on the body before burning moxa cones. Each cake measures about 4 cm in diameter and 1.2 cm in height.

Traditional Uses

In traditional TCM practice, Xiang Fu Zi Bing is used as a隔物灸 (indirect moxibustion) medium. A cake is placed on a slice of ginger or directly on the skin, and a moxa cone is burned on top. This method is traditionally associated with warming the channels, dispersing cold, and supporting qi flow. It is commonly paired with ginger and moxa in external moxibustion routines.
