GUOYIYANMoxa Sticks1.8 cm, 20 cm, 3:1, Smoke

Moxibustion, the classic heat application of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), calls for good base material: the GUOYIYAN moxa sticks are traditional moxa rolls made from dried mugwort. The smouldering moxa stick is held above acupuncture points and body zones to warm them in a targeted, controlled way.

Moxa sticks are used in TCM and acupuncture practices and, thanks to their handy format, also suit experienced users at home. The different diameters and formats cover various treatment techniques in moxa therapy.

• Traditional moxa rolls made from dried mugwort (Artemisia)
• Low blend ratios such as 3:1 to start with, high ones such as 35:1 for finely refined moxa
• Slim 1.8 cm for precise work, 2.5 cm diameter for a larger heat surface
• Classic 20 cm stick for guided treatment, short segments for stationary work
• Smoke-producing quality for traditional application
• Practical multi-pack, e.g. 10 sticks for the 20 cm version

The right choice depends on your treatment technique: sticks of around 2.5 cm in diameter give a larger heat surface for broad zones such as the back, while slimmer 1.8 cm sticks allow precise work. Short segments lend themselves to stationary work, the classic 20 cm stick to guided treatment above the point. Higher blend ratios such as 35:1 indicate more finely refined moxa; 3:1 or 10:1 is fine to start with.

Alongside the GUOYIYAN moxa sticks, saneq stocks further moxibustion and TCM supplies for practice and private use, all available to order online across Switzerland.

The 3:1 mixing ratio in moxa refers to the purity grade of the mugwort; this level is considered the classic entry-level quality for moxibustion. The 20 cm long stick with a slim 1.8 cm diameter is designed for guided treatment above the acupuncture point and allows precise, targeted work. With 10 sticks per pack, the smoking version is designed for regular use.
