How I Came to Trust Moxibustion — And the Moxa I Always Choose
Today, a colleague mentioned that her child had a lingering cough. I casually suggested that she might try moxibustion. That sparked a longer conversation — she was curious about how to apply it and what kind of moxa sticks to use.
I shared with her what I personally use: the moxa sticks from Jubutang, and the story behind the brand Chu Ye, which was founded by Sister Haiyan with a sincere and heartfelt mission. Only after talking did I realize how naturally I’ve come to rely on moxibustion and Jubutang moxa sticks as a key part of my self-care routine.
A Turning Point Five Years Ago
I first discovered Jubutang and Sister Haiyan about five years ago, purely by chance. At the time, I was exploring natural methods of wellness after coming across moxibustion as part of Traditional Chinese approaches. I did a lot of reading before deciding to try it out for myself.
At first, I alternated between moxa sticks from Chu Ye and another brand that was more affordable. But over time, I found myself only using Jubutang. Why? Because the Chu Ye moxa sticks felt gentler, more balanced. The smoke was softer and didn’t overwhelm the senses. After several months of consistent use, I felt significantly better — and more importantly, deeply convinced of the value of this practice.
Only later did I learn that high-quality moxa requires years of proper storage and aging to deliver its full benefits. It turns out that the raw materials for Jubutang’s moxa are aged for at least three years before being crafted and released. In today’s fast-paced, profit-driven world, I find it truly rare — and admirable — that Sister Haiyan remains committed to producing a product with such integrity.
Looking back, I feel incredibly lucky to have discovered a good product from the very beginning. It’s saved me a lot of time and effort on trial and error. A well-made product with real impact is not only more effective, it brings better overall value and peace of mind.
A Family Practice
After some time, my health noticeably improved. Now, moxibustion isn’t just something I do — it’s part of our family routine. Whenever my child shows early signs of discomfort, I turn to moxibustion first. And the most surprising part? My husband, who was initially quite skeptical, has now grown fond of it too.
Not long ago, he was dealing with persistent digestive issues. He’d tried various over-the-counter options and even had medical exams, but nothing seemed to help. So I started applying moxibustion near his navel and along related meridian points using Jubutang sticks — consistently, day after day. Not long after, his discomfort eased. These days, both of us use moxa boxes on our abdomen before bed — combining wellness care with rest.
For me now, moxibustion simply equals Jubutang moxa. I don’t consider using anything else.
When Quality Speaks for Itself
They say that good products don’t need to be sold — they speak for themselves. That’s exactly how I feel about Jubutang. I’m just one of many people who became a loyal supporter after using the product. I recommend it willingly and sincerely — not because I was asked to, but because I believe in it.
Lately, I’ve been sharing it more with friends and coworkers. I truly believe that by recommending something that has benefited me, I’m doing a small part to support others on their wellness journeys. That alone brings me a sense of purpose — and a bit of light to pass on.
