Moxibustion refers to the use of some burning substances to smoke or heat a certain part of the body surface, and to achieve the purpose of preventing and treating diseases by adjusting the functions of meridians and viscera.

There are many raw materials for moxibustion, but Artemisia argyi is the main one, so it is called moxibustion. Folium Artemisiae Argyi is fragrant, pungent, bitter, easy to burn and mild in firepower. The moxa used as moxibustion material is made into soft moxa by mashing dried moxa leaves to remove impurities.
