Loose moxa

The Lux range, from coarse to most refined

Our loose moxa belongs to the Lux range, inspired by the alchemical symbolism of transformation: with each stage of refining, the mugwort fibre becomes lighter and finer.

Lux Prima (100 g): whole mugwort leaves harvested at the summer solstice, pre-ground, for making cones.

Lux Aurora (50 g): medium purified wool, for Ontake bamboo tubes or cones.

Lux Alba (25 g): fine purified wool, designed for the warm needle.

Lux Aurea (10 g): golden moxa, the most refined, for rice-grain moxibustion (okyu) in the Japanese tradition.

Wool purified in our workshop

The wools are obtained by isolating mainly the trichomes, the fine white down on the underside of the leaves, while keeping a small proportion of leaf matter. All our mugwort is wild mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris agg.), hand-picked in France and dried naturally before being processed in our workshop in Occitanie.
