It's usually the practitioners who've been working with smaller diameters for years who finally switch to this 4.0cm stick and imediately notice the difference in heat penetration—basically, the wider diameter gives you a much more substantial, steady burn that's better for treating deeper cold and dampness conditions in clinical settings.
We've seen most buyers go with the 60-stick box for clinic use since it cuts down on reordering, but the 20-stick option is actually more common for home therapy or someone just trying it out, and both pack the same 100% pure Chinese Mugwort (Artemisia argyi) that's SGS certified for purity.
Each stick burns for roughly 60 to 90 minutes depending on airflow and how you handle it, so you're not constantly relighting, and the 4.0cm diameter means the heat really drives into the meridian points rather than just warming surfce.
What it does is activate meridians and dispel dampness pretty effectively, though it's not great for quick spot treatments where a smaller stick gives you more precision—that's just a trade-off with the larger diameter.
Storage is simple enough: keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and you'll get the full 5-year shelf life or so, but we usually have stock ready to ship within 20 days or so unless demand spikes unexpectedly.
When you order, you'll get either the 20-stick or 60-stick box with the sticks individually wrapped, and the COA form SGS comes included so you can verify the purity (usually 2-4 weeks lead time for that paperwork if you need it before shipping).
We can do custom branding on the boxes, but there's a minimum order quantity of 200 boxes per design. Just send us your artwork and we'll handle the rest.
Standard lead time is 15-20 working days after order confirmation. If you need it faster, we can rush it in 10-12 days for an extra 10% on shipping.
Yes, we include a copy of the SGS certificate with every batch. It covers purity of the mugwort and burning safety standards.
Keep them in a cool, dry spot away from direct sunlight. A sealed container in a cupboard works fine. Moisture or heat will shorten the shelf life.
Yes, the 4.0cm diameter gives a longer, steadier burn of about 60-90 minutes. Thinner sticks burn faster and produce less heat, so this size is better for deeper meridian work.
