The herb used to produce Moxa is Artemisia (mugwort) species. Moxa is used to warm regions and meridian points with the intention of stimulating circulation through the points and inducing a smoother flow of blood and qi. Moxibustion can treat conditions associated with the "cold" or "yang deficiencies" in Chinese Medicine.

The moxibustion technique used in Golden Needle Health Care & Beauty is indirect moxibustion, which is holding a cigar made of moxa near the acupuncture point to heat the skin.
