It was purely by chance that I discovered JubuTang moxa rolls and got to know Ye Jie, but that chance encounter has given us a special connection ever since.
One day, I was browsing Taobao Live and randomly clicked into Ye Jie’s livestream. Immediately, many fans flooded the chat, asking me to follow her and help with tasks. I didn’t fully understand what was happening, but since it seemed easy—and everyone was so enthusiastic—I hit “follow” and completed the tasks. It turned out that viewers were helping Ye Jie climb the livestream rankings that day. In that brief moment, I sensed how warm and harmonious her community felt, so I developed a real fondness for her channel. In the days that followed, whenever Ye Jie went live and I had a free moment, I tuned in. After watching for a couple of days, I noticed she was moxibusting her head with an eye-mask—warming her forehead and throat—and I realized you could apply moxa almost anywhere. At that time, my daughter was struggling with both an ear infection and sinusitis, so I asked if it was okay to moxibust her ears. Ye Jie patiently explained and demonstrated how to do it, and I immediately ordered both the eye-mask and a pack of JubuTang moxa rolls.
When the package arrived, I have to admit I didn’t start moxibusting my daughter right away. It was exam season, and both my daughter and I were busy. Plus, in the humid, closed-off rooms of southern China, burning moxa can get a bit stuffy, so even though I had JubuTang moxa in hand, I kept putting off using it.
Then the New Year arrived—ordinarily a joyful time, but that year was different because of the outbreak of COVID-19. We were all stuck at home and everyone was anxious. After my daughter finished her end-of-term exams, she went in for a nasal CT and was diagnosed with mastoiditis (a progression of her ear infection) and sinusitis. We had originally planned to have her start a full course of treatment during the holiday, but because of the epidemic, everything had to be postponed. Whenever I saw a livestream mention that moxibustion could boost immunity, I remembered Ye Jie’s instructions. So I dug out our JubuTang moxa rolls and the moxa eye-mask and began following her method at home. With nowhere to go, I wasn’t rushed. Each day, I moxibusted my daughter’s forehead, the Fengchi points at the base of her skull, and her ears—just as Ye Jie had shown. After about two weeks, the constant runny nose finally improved. One day, my daughter exclaimed that her nose felt clear for the first time. I was overjoyed, and my confidence in Ye Jie’s moxibustion technique—and in JubuTang moxa—grew even stronger. So I became even more diligent, continuing to moxibust exactly as she taught. After a while, my daughter told me her ears felt less blocked, too. Since discovering her ear and sinus issues last spring, I’d been so worried and spent countless hours researching. But thanks to Ye Jie and JubuTang moxa, these past couple of months of moxibustion have brought me a sense of peace. I genuinely believe that, with her guidance and these quality moxa rolls, my daughter’s health will continue to improve.
Beyond simply helping my daughter, I’ve also learned so much about wellness by watching JubuTang’s livestreams. Under Ye Jie’s guidance, I discovered how to build a homemade moxa box with an iron tin, learned about cupping with moxa, and learned to interpret mild “detox reactions” that sometimes accompany treatment. All of this has deepened my own understanding of moxibustion, and now I’m determined to practice it for myself as well.
So that’s the story of my connection with Ye Jie and JubuTang moxa rolls—an unexpected bond born of pure chance. And I believe this friendship will last a very long time. I look forward to passing on this gift to everyone around me.
