Moxa is a unique and positive type of herb, which is believed to be able to dispel evil qi. So, in China, a lot of people would hang moxa herbs at Duan Wu Jie (Dragon Boat Festival), at their door, to prevent dirty qi.
Fresh moxa leaves are often part of an early spring delicacy at a Chinese dinner table. A popular food is the moxa bun.
A lot of people use moxa leaves for foot baths, which could help promote qi and blood flow around your feet and legs, and induce yang qi to the bottom to help with better sleeping.
Foot baths with moxa leaves or moxa foot powder are getting very popular and effective. As they are simple to use, I encourage you to try this at home. You can get moxa leaves or ehanced moxa foot bath power bags from a local Chinese herbal store, or you can get them from our partnering store: www.GoodHerbalStore.com.
The most popular way of using moxa is to actually make various moxa products. Moxa leaves, especially in a dried and processed format, have a lot of functions, such as restoring yang qi, regulating qi and blood, dispelling dampness and coldness, etc.
