After drying, the leaves are stored in a shady and ventilated place for making the quality of moxa satisfy the needs of moxibustion.

Effects of moxibustion

Moxibustion is a traditional Chinese external therapy. Huang Di Nei Jing, the most important theoretical work of TCM, describes the importance of moxibustion as “the problems that acupuncture cannot solve are the advantages of moxibustion”. Moxibustion warms meridians, strengthens Yang and makes Qi run smoothly, as well as gets rid of blood stasis, pathogenic cold and pathogenic dampness. The therapeutic effects of burning moxa are from heat, infrared radiation, and volatile oil.

Additionally, in ancient China, fumigation by burning the leaves of Chinese mugwort was an important way of epidemic prevention.
