How Moxibustion Changed My Family’s Health
Discovering Moxibustion
Since I first tried moxibustion, both my family and I have reaped so many benefits that now, whenever someone feels unwell, I immediately suggest moxibustion. I’d heard it was effective, but being busy with my purchasing business, I didn’t act on it. One day I mentioned to an old colleague that I wanted to try moxibustion but didn’t know where to start. She told me that our former teammate, Ye Haiyan, makes moxa sticks (moxa stick, ai tiao), and I could reach out to her. Fortunately, my first moxa sticks came from Jubu Tang—the best quality—and I joined their free guidance group, which saved me so much trial and error.
Learning Quietly
I’m not very talkative, and though I used to work with Haiyan, I didn’t want to bother her—she answers countless questions every day and often streams live. Instead, I quietly learned through Jubu Tang’s moxibustion bed (moxibustion bed, aijiu chuang) chat group, their Moments posts, and their public‑account articles. I became well‑versed in managing every healing reaction that cropped up.
A Dramatic Healing Reaction
Once, after sleeping on the moxibustion bed for several nights, I woke up coughing up a clot of blood. I posted in the group, and friends urged me to see a doctor. But I understood: it was old blood being purged, not spontaneous bleeding. After that, I had no more throat discomfort—even when eating spicy or fried foods that used to trigger “heat.”
Helping My In‑Laws
My father‑in‑law has always had poor digestion—loose stools were his norm. During the pandemic, he and my mother‑in‑law stayed home, so I sent them a moxibustion belt (moxibustion belt, aijiu yaodai) and Jubu Tang’s oldest vintage moxa sticks. After just a few sessions, he fell in love with it and now asks my mother‑in‑law to light his belt every day on schedule. She told me last winter he barely needed a heavy quilt—before, he’d bundle up in down and thick blankets—and his digestion improved greatly.
Moxibustion for My Parents
Stuck in Hong Kong and unable to visit my parents, I urged them to try moxibustion at home. They bought a moxibustion box (moxibustion box, aijiu he) and belt, but found it bothersome. When my father was hospitalized with hypertension and diabetes, I convinced him to let me send a moxibustion bed and a box of 2012 vintage moxa sticks. They’ve been diligent—sleeping on it twice a week—and I check in about any purging reactions. At first they experienced some “heat” symptoms, so I sent them for gua sha and cupping. Now, Dad walks sturdily again and hardly ever catches colds. Seeing them healthy brings me so much peace.
Sharing with Friends in Hong Kong
After moving here, my friends are mostly other parents from the neighborhood. One mom suffered chronic back pain, so I invited her to try my moxibustion bed. She loved it after the first session and bought sticks and a belt for on‑the‑go relief. Now whenever anyone feels fatigued or achy, they come over to “recharge” on the bed. Our homes have turned into a little moxibustion wellness salon—booking is by appointment only!
The Power of Quality Moxa Sticks
Moxibustion has become our family’s go‑to health care. My daughter now asks for moxibustion and spinal pressing whenever she feels off. Since we started, none of us has needed a hospital visit. That’s the magic of high‑quality moxa sticks—they drive out pathogens and keep us healthy. Every year I stock at least one box of Jubu Tang’s vintage moxa sticks. With “Ai,” I feel secure.
Gratitude to Jubu Tang
I’m deeply grateful to Jubu Tang for providing such excellent moxa sticks and patient guidance, and for answering our questions without hesitation. I hope their moxa sticks continue to support many more people’s health journey!
