How to Use Moxa Sticks

There are many methods for using moxa sticks. The most common is moxibustion with a moxa stick. To perform this technique, light the moxa stick and hold it approximately 10–30 mm above the acupoint to be treated, then gently warm the area. The recommended duration is about 10 minutes, or until the skin feels warm and slightly reddened. During moxibustion, maintain an appropriate distance to avoid burning the patient’s skin. Additionally, moxibustion should ideally be performed under the guidance of a qualified healthcare professional to ensure proper technique and optimal therapeutic effect.
