What Is Moxibustion?

Drawing from traditional Chinese medicinal practices, Moxibustion involves burning moxa, a stick made of ground mugwort leaves (moxa), on or near your body's meridians and acupuncture points. The resulting heat and herbal combustion helps stimulate these points and improves the flow of Qi around the body, allowing for relief from pain.

How Do You Use the Tiger Warmer Device?

Please note that the Tiger Warmer is split into two key parts: the outer “tiger warmer” part and the inner “moxa holder” part.

1. Firstly, insert the moxa stick into the holder part.
2. Light the stick and blow out the flame (the stick should smolder like charcoal, not burn with an open flame).
3. Next, insert the moxa holder part into the Tiger Warmer.
4. With your thumb, practice pressing the moxa holder part as far as it will go
5. When the spring is as depressed as it can be and the moxa holder is pushed down as far as possible, the lit moxa stick should still be about half an inch away from the end of the tiger warmer.
6. Ensure the lit moxa never touches the end of the tiger warmer.
7. Start by brushing the warm end of the tiger warmer over your own skin to get used to the heat.
8. Practice adjusting the heat by depressing and releasing the moxa holder (spring mechanism) within the tiger warmer.
