Product Listing

Premium-Grade Aged Loose Moxa (Artemisia verlotiorum) — 25g

A finely processed, long-aged loose moxa wool made from the downy leaf material of Artemisia verlotiorum, prized in moxibustion practice for its smooth, even burn and gentle penetrating warmth. Traditional processing methods age and refine the dried leaf over an extended period, breaking it down into a soft, low-fibre wool and reducing the harsh, acrid smoke associated with lower-grade or unaged moxa. The result is a purer, more workable material suited to direct, indirect, and needle-warming moxibustion techniques.

Grade: Premium, extended aging process, loose wool form (not pressed into sticks or cones) Weight: 25g Form: Loose moxa wool, ready to be hand-rolled into cones or used with a moxa box

Storage: Keep in a sealed, airtight container away from moisture, direct sunlight, and heat sources. Properly stored, aged moxa keeps well and continues to mellow over time.

Usage Guide

General Handling

Loose moxa is typically hand-rolled into small cones or rice-grain sized pieces, or loaded into a moxa box or moxa stick holder, depending on the technique being used.
Only use over intact, healthy skin unless working under the guidance of a qualified, appropriately trained practitioner.
Always burn in a well-ventilated space. Aged moxa produces less smoke than lower grades, but ventilation still matters, especially for anyone with asthma or smoke sensitivity.

Fire Safety

Moxa is a combustible material and must be treated with the same care as any open flame or slow-burning ember.
Always work over a heatproof surface, with a heatproof dish or ash tray nearby to catch embers.
Never leave burning moxa unattended.
Keep a small dish of water, sand, or a fire-safe extinguishing method within reach.
Extinguish fully after use and allow to cool completely before disposal.
Keep well away from flammable materials, bedding, hair, and loose clothing.

General Cautions

Not for internal use or consumption. Moxa is intended for external moxibustion application only.
Avoid use during pregnancy without qualified practitioner guidance, as certain moxibustion points and techniques are traditionally contraindicated in pregnancy.
Avoid direct application over broken skin, active infection, inflammation, or areas of reduced sensation.
Those with respiratory conditions, smoke sensitivity, or allergies to Artemisia species should take extra care with ventilation or consider indirect techniques.
If any burning, irritation, or discomfort beyond gentle warmth occurs, stop immediately.
This product is intended for use by, or under the guidance of, someone trained in moxibustion technique. If you're new to moxibustion, working with a qualified practitioner initially is strongly recommended.

Sold as a raw herbal material for traditional moxibustion practice.
