ZYTH Moxa Roll - 3 Years, 18 mm Diameter, Specially Selected

The 3-year moxa roll is made of specially selected medicinal material. As Mencius once said, “Seek three-year moxa for seven-year illness”, a 3-year moxa product is always the favorite of experienced therapists for their moxibustion practice.

Meaning of 3 years

The medicinal raw material of a moxa roll is called Chinese mugwort (Artemisia argyi). In China, around the Duanwu Festival, which is the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, it is 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 moxa floss. The 3-year moxa roll is made of mugwort leaves that have been stored for 3 years.

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.

How to use a moxa roll

The popular manipulation of holding a moxa roll by hand is called bird-pecking moxibustion. 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 can be 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.

When the moxa roll is burning, it gives off smoke. So it 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.
