Moxa Holder for Home Use

The wooden holder and snuffer are designed to minimise difficulties when using the holder at home. The moxa and holder are supplied by Herbprime UK: https://www.herbprime.com 

The moxa is smokeless but does leave a trace in the air after use. It includes Artemisia / Mugwort and Valerian and is very relaxing, warming and supports treatments for improving circulation and moving stuck energy. So, bruises, aches and pains, cold areas, stiffness, and warts and verrucas. Use with guidance from your practitioner. Make sure it is properly snuffed out when you are finished as it can smoulder for a long time.

1. Remove orange rubber attachment with screen from the holder

2. Take moxa stick from the package and insert into the holder, until the open end protrudes

3. Light the moxa stick with a lighter (matches are not enough, as the stick needs a lot of heat to get started)

4. Push the moxa back inside the holder so that the screen can fit over it without touching the hot end

5. Rest on it’s side until the end is glowing red and hot

6. Put the cover on and hold carefully over the area on the body to be warmed up

7. Move around the area, and hold over specific parts until you feel the heat

8. Return to the area until you feel it has had enough

9. Stop immediately if it feels too hot

10. Can be used daily if working on something that is stubborn to change, or a chronic problem (like warts). Otherwise, once a week.

Check with your practitioner if you have any questions or if you need more sticks.
