Moxibustion is a unique form of heat therapy, involving the burning of mugwort plant leaves to produce a penetrating heat. This heat allows the oils from the smoke to penetrate into the skin for additional warming. The effects are strongest when the injured area can be fumigated with the smoke.
TCM Indications:
Moxibustion is used to warm areas that are cold to the touch.
Do NOT use over open wounds, wherever skin sensitivity is diminished, on pregnant women, on an injured area that is hot, red, and painful.
Features of Smokeless Moxa Rolls:
- Less smoke and odor
- Uniform and slow burning
- Easy to use compressed moxa sticks
- Non-reactive to the skin
Directions:
After the pole (stick) is lit, let the tip form into a round shape; tap ash occasionally into an ashtray.
Keep the stick at a distance that is warm and comfortable, to create a warm, spreading heat over 5-10 minutes of time.
Do not touch the burning tip to the skin or hold too close.
Extinguish the burning stick by placing the tip into sand or salt, or use a manufactured moxa stick extinguisher.
Note: Although this brand says "Smokeless", it is simply far less smoke than loose moxa.
