Tong Ren Tang (同仁堂) moxa sticks are high-quality, traditional Chinese medicine products, often featuring five-year aged mugwort (Ai Ye) for even, long-lasting burning. They are ideal for beginners and home use to relieve pain, boost immunity, and improve blood circulation. Available options include traditional smokey and modern smokeless, golden-colored sticks that provide consistent, gentle, penetrating heat.
Key Features of Tong Ren Tang Moxa:
- Quality & Aging: Known for using refined, aged mugwort, which provides a more comfortable, "gentle" heat compared to younger, sharper moxa.
- Varieties:
- Traditional: Produces fragrant smoke, often used for stronger therapeutic effects.
- Smokeless (Golden): Specially formulated to be nearly smoke-free, ideal for indoor, hygienic use.
- Performance: Burns evenly, has a long duration, and does not crumble easily.
- Usage: Used for moxibustion by holding the lit stick 1-2 inches above the skin, moving it in circular motions over acupuncture points.
Safety and Usage Precautions:
- Usage: Never let the moxa directly touch the skin to avoid burning.
- Contraindications: Do not use on the face, near sensory organs, on mucous membranes, or if you have skin diseases or reduced sensitivity.
- Precautions: Ensure good ventilation, especially if using smoke-producing sticks.
Always consult a qualified TCM practitioner for specific acupuncture points and to ensure moxibustion is appropriate for your condition.
