What is golden moxa

Golden moxa is moxa with very high purity. Moxa with higher purity means that moxa has been filtered more times during its production, so there are fewer impurities and tiny fragments of leaves. The higher proportion of fibers makes moxa have a lighter color. The color of moxa with very high purity is golden, so this kind of moxa is called “Golden Moxa”.

What is moxa

The raw material of moxa is called Chinese mugwort (Artemisia argyi). In China, around the Duanwu Festival, which is the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, it is traditionally the best time to pick the leaves of Chinese mugwort. After drying, the leaves are stored in a shady and ventilated place for making the quality of moxa satisfy the needs of moxibustion. Before making moxa products, dried mugwort leaves are processed into fine and soft fibers, which are called moxa floss.

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 mugwort leaves was an important way of epidemic prevention.

How to use a moxa roll

A moxa roll is generally held by hand. Bird-pecking moxibustion is a popular manipulation. At the beginning of the therapy, the distance between the burning side of a moxa roll and the skin is about 3 cm. During the manipulation, the distance is not fixed, and the moxa roll is moved up and down like a bird pecks.

Except the above method, you may divide a moxa roll to small pieces for other kinds of moxibustion methods, such as direct moxibustion, indirect moxibustion, moxibustion through a moxa burner container, or warm acupuncture.

The moxa roll should be used in a well-ventilated environment for reducing the irritation of smoke. And it is advisable to use an extinguisher when a therapy is over.
