Moxibustion (Moxa) Sticks - Smokeless

High-quality 3 year-aged smokeless moxa sticks for indirect moxibustion, in which moxa sticks (also called “cigars”) are held close to the skin at acupressure points at sites of pain/injury. Moxibustion is one of the most popular external remedies in Traditional Chinese Medicine to treat a variety of conditions and injuries and is similar to acupuncture, except that it is easy to do at home (and involves no needles).

However, we now carry these smokeless moxa sticks, which have little smell and can be used indoors. Ingredients: 3 year-aged moxibustion charcoal, agar wood, plant essence Instructions: Unwrap moxa stick from plastic wrapping Protect the area under where you’ll be using the moxa to protect surfaces from falling ash—we recommend covering the floor with a sheet of aluminum foil or a metal tray Light the tip of the stick with a flame and blow
