Moxibustion sticks, cones, and stick-on cylinders can be used at home but you won't be able to stimulate all the acupuncture points by yourself. If you decide on the safe option of indirect moxibustion with moxa sticks, you will need a pack of pure moxa rolls, an ashtray, an airtight glass jar, and a lighter. Light the end of the moxibustion stick evenly and tap it over the ashtray to knock off any loose ash. Repeat this de-ashing step during your moxibustion session whenever you notice ash building up. Hold the moxa stick like a pen and approach it to the body area that the therapist indicated until you feel a pleasant radiating warmth. Make sure you keep it at a safe distance from the skin, roughly 1-2 inches, to avoid accidental burns. If you feel that the skin gets too hot, move the stick a bit further from it. After the time indicated by the therapist passes, you can move to another area or put out the stick in the airtight jar. Another home moxa technique is with Chosei-Kyu Stick On Moxa. These small cylinders adhere to the skin and can burn for a few minutes before they stop smoking and generate more heat. Keep them on as long as you are comfortable and put them out in an ashtray with water once you are done.
