I was introduced to moxibustion (a traditional Chinese heat therapy using mugwort) early on, but I only practiced it sporadically without noticing significant effects, so I never fully committed. However, a day in 2018 completely changed my perspective. I noticed a familiar scent of moxibustion smoke on my colleague Xiao Haozi, who radiated vitality. Surprised, I asked if she’d been practicing moxibustion, where she did it, and how effective it was. She explained that she self-administered the therapy using her own supplies, learning techniques online instead of visiting clinics. It felt like finding a kindred spirit!
Xiao Haozi showed me her tools and the TIMTCM-brand moxa sticks she used. Unlike the ones I’d tried before, these were softer, more golden, and had a richer aroma. When I voiced my curiosity, she immediately responded: “Your old moxa sticks weren’t pure or aged enough—that’s why they didn’t work. Try mine—you’ll feel the difference!” She also mentioned that TIMTCM hosted daily livestreams teaching health preservation methods. As someone nearing retirement and prioritizing wellness, I instantly followed their channel. I studied their content nightly and practiced daily, eventually becoming a devoted fan.
After retiring in 2020, I dedicated more time to moxibustion. The COVID-19 pandemic in Wuhan motivated me to purchase a TIMTCM moxibustion bed, revolutionizing my routine. We used it intensively—my husband took odd days, my mother-in-law even days, and I followed daily. Initially, the bed heated slowly with excessive smoke, but through experimentation (and using TIMTCM’s herbal warming packs to preheat the bed), I mastered controlling the heat and smoke. Now, the ash turns perfectly white, and in summer, just 3 moxa sticks sustain 4-5 hours of therapy!
Years ago, I’d fractured my leg, leaving it chronically cold with poor circulation, compounded by severe frozen shoulder. The bed’s penetrating warmth worked wonders—dense clusters of blisters formed painlessly on my thigh and shoulders, revealing blocked areas (a fascinating “disease-seeking” effect of moxibustion!). Over time, I transformed from a frail Lin Daiyu-esque figure to a tough woman who can haul a crate of water up four flights of stairs!
My husband, once exhausted after work, now discusses his day energetically. On his free days, I prep the bed for him—he dozes off within 30 minutes, waking refreshed. At 60, he tackles overtime with ease!
Friends noticed my transformation and asked for advice. I recommended TIMTCM’s moxa sticks and beds—my sister now swears by their 2012 vintage 10:1 ratio moxa sticks and stocks up during sales. When my sister-in-law was diagnosed with atherosclerosis, she immediately asked me to buy her a bed. Our entire circle now embraces the life-changing power of moxibustion!
May TIMTCM thrive and keep providing affordable, high-quality moxa! I also hope they’ll launch more high-discount promotions so loyal fans like me can stockpile genuine aged moxa sticks!
