Stick Moxa is perhaps one of the most popular forms of moxa therapy. The moxa wool is rolled or compressed into a cigar-shaped form, making it easy for the practitioner to direct the burning ember over a very specific area.
Variations of the common Stick Moxa include Smokeless Moxa (which is a proprietary blend of moxa and herbs charcoalized to make it virtually smokeless when burned) and Sook Moxa sticks (used in Tiger warmers) made from a blend of wormwood, mugwort, and sagebrush which when heated produce the pleasant scent of burning wood.
