These products are relatively new and were developed to further help the practitioner apply focused heat therapy in a convenient and safe way. Each one has its own benefit and application. Although generally considered safer, there are inherent cautions, and areas for practitioners to be aware of for their continued safe use.

MAY 2019: IMPORTANT UPDATE ON MOXA PRODUCTS - PLEASE READ: Recently, our shipment of moxa products was stopped at the border and rejected by Health Canada. The reason for the refusal of entry into Canada was the decision that moxa products are considered to be natural health products and require licensing. We disagree with this, as moxa has been traditionally used as a therapeutic heating tool prior to there being electricity. Unfortunately, as we go through the appeal process, we will be unable to import moxa products and you may experience a delay in products being available. Should you like to address your concerns about the status of moxa products directly with Health Canada, you can submit your comments to ingredient_support@hc-sc.gc.ca
