Moxa and Heat Therapy

Ibuki stick-on moxa is easy to use and offers the most uniform indirect moxa heat. Consists of a rolled cylinder of moxa on a 0.55" x 0.55" hexagonal shaped sticky base which adheres to the acu-point area. The warming moxa heat slowly builds to a momentary acute heat and then recedes gradually. A hole in the base allows the moxa heat and smoke to warm the treatment area.
