Moxibustion, or Moxa for short, is an ancient form of heat therapy. Moxa uses the ground up leaves of the plant Mugwort (Artemesia vulgaris). These are rolled into sticks for indirect moxa.
In Chinese, the term for acupuncture is "Zhen Jiu." The "Zhen" means "needle," and the "Jiu" means "moxa." Thus, acupuncture and moxibustion have been paired therapies for hundreds of years. When the needles are in the body, the indirect moxa heats them, and the metal conducts the heat down into the muscles, where it is most needed.
However, moxa can be effective by itself, and is an inexpensive form of home therapy for many types of pain, such as sore joints or menstrual cramps.
Benefits of Moxa:
It increases the production of white blood cells and the produciton of red blood cells and haemoglobin; and improves the overall blood and lymph circulations. Moxa is more effective for internal chronic ailments than acupuncture, and it is a safer treatment than acupuncture and can be used as a home therapy.
Are there any precautions?
Moxa should be avoided in areas of inflammation. Precautions should be made for those with diabetes or circulation conditions. It shouldnʼt be used on people with excess heat in their body, or if they have a fever.


《专注野艾》
谨遵自然的规律,每棵艾草源自天然
还记得小时候行走在田间地头,随手掐断的草茎飘散着清香。
伴着清晨露珠摘来的瓜果,掰开就可以闻到清淡甜腻的味道。
而今科技的发达令水果蔬菜在任何季节都能买到,
却再也找不回儿时纯粹的天然味道。
每年端午,我们行走在人迹罕至的山野,只为那棵最纯净的艾草。
天生天化,沃野挺立,蕴育自己一方能量。

误解艾条
近年,特别细腻金黄的金艾条逐渐流行。金艾条真的好吗?
世界上用艾条的主要国家,有中国,日本,韩国,中国台湾地区。
这几个国家的艾条品牌,除了中国,其他国家真正他们国产的艾条均无金艾 条。日本的艾灸传承优于中国,几家艾条龙头企业,均为创业几百年 世代相传的老企业,非常尊重历史,做工精益求精。日本,提纯的最高级别金艾绒甚至可以达到200比1!日本人的消费能力也是高于中国的,可看到的日本本 土产艾条,目测都在8比1左右,绝不会用超黄超细腻的金艾绒。
那么,常规比例艾条里面的那些黑点,绿点不是杂质么?
本着一颗尊重艾草的心,告诉大家,这就是艾草做成艾绒本该有的样子。艾草作为植物叶 子,里面有叶肉,叶脉……,就像人有骨头有皮有肉有汗毛一样,制作后每个部分有每个部分呈现不同的颜色和姿态是正常的。(当然,因为不认真筛检甚至恶意添 加,把沙土杂草都一起做成艾绒那才叫做杂质。)
金艾条的燃烧速度太快:
这也是金艾条一大弊端,因为过分细腻,燃烧速度是常规比例艾条的2到3倍。《灸 绳》:“灸者,久之用也,久者,灸之法也。”艾灸的温热能否持久连续作用于穴位是一个很关键点。燃烧速度快,就要更频繁的将灸火离开穴位去灰,不利于灸感 的发生,也容易中断已发生的良好灸感。那么灸的效果自然大打折扣。
最后,为什么金艾条会得到老师们的推荐和大家的认可?
金艾条外观讨巧,更容易贴上高档,优质的标签,自然也对应好的价格和顾客满意度。但经过了超白细的特一粉一段弯路,最终,大家还是会回归真正健康的全麦粉。
