FAQ

What is moxa? Moxa is made from mugwort, a herb gently warmed in a tradition practised across East Asia for centuries. The word comes from the Japanese mogusa, meaning mugwort. It is enjoyed as a slow, warming ritual.

What does "smokeless" mean? Traditional moxa can produce dense, aromatic smoke. Our sticks are made to release a gentle warmth with far less smoke, so the ritual fits comfortably into a modern home. We still recommend using them in a ventilated space.

Is this a medical product? No. Maison Mogusa products are wellness items inspired by tradition. They are not medical devices and are not intended to treat or cure anything. We simply offer a warm, grounding ritual.

How do I use it? Light the tip, let it glow, and hold its gentle warmth a comfortable distance from the skin for a few minutes — never touching. See our Ritual guide for the full steps and safety notes.

How long does one stick last? [Fill in once you've tested your sample — e.g. "Each stick offers roughly X minutes of warmth."]
