Moxibustion Patch

Description

A moxibustion patch is a modern, adhesive, self-heating therapeutic patch designed to deliver the effects of traditional moxibustion therapy, a key modality in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). The patch typically contains herbal ingredients, most commonly mugwort (Artemisia argyi), along with other plant extracts, essential oils, or medicinal powders, embedded in a heat-activated matrix that generates warmth when applied to the skin. Unlike traditional moxibustion, which involves burning dried moxa sticks directly on or near acupuncture points, the moxibustion patch provides a smokeless, controlled, and convenient alternative that is safer for home and clinical use.

When applied to specific acupoints, muscles, joints, or areas of discomfort, the patch produces gentle, long-lasting heat that is believed to stimulate circulation, activate energy channels (meridians), promote the flow of “qi” and blood, relieve muscular tension, and provide a warming, comforting sensation. In TCM theory, it is often used to disperse cold, remove dampness, and support the body’s natural self-healing processes.

Modern moxibustion patches may incorporate additional functional ingredients such as warming herbal extracts, essential oils, or skin-conditioning components, and they are usually designed to adhere securely to the skin while delivering consistent heat for several hours. These patches are widely used for lower back pain, menstrual discomfort, joint stiffness, shoulder tension, and general fatigue, making them a popular wellness, therapeutic, and preventative healthcare product.

In summary, a moxibustion patch is a herbal, heat-generating adhesive patch that combines the principles of traditional moxibustion with modern convenience and safety, providing localized warming, comfort, and potential therapeutic benefits without smoke, fire, or direct burning of herbs.
