Product details
Product information is translated from the manufacturer’s 3-option source listing, its option photographs and description panels. All three options are moxa cones; fire-dragon cups and other holders are not included.
What are fire-dragon-cup moxa cones?
Thick, short, paper-wrapped moxa cones made from compressed mugwort wool, intended by the manufacturer for fire-dragon cups (huolong guan), a handheld moxibustion cup with a knitted cover. The listing offers a small 18 x 27 mm cone in trays of 54 and two enlarged cones, 30 x 25 mm and 50 x 25 mm, in shrink-wrapped trays of six. For the medium and large cones the size label means diameter x height: approx. 3 or 5 cm across and 2.5 cm high.
Which configurations can be ordered?
- 1. Small moxa cones for fire-dragon cups, 18 x 27 mm — 54 cones per tray — approx. 1.8 cm diameter (comparison photo); White wrap as pictured; wrap material not stated; source-listed unit weight 170 g.
- 2. Medium moxa cones for fire-dragon cups, 30 x 25 mm — 6 cones per tray — approx. 3 cm diameter x 2.5 cm high; Rolled in mugwort-leaf paper (option photo label); source-listed unit weight 55 g.
- 3. Large moxa cones for fire-dragon cups, 50 x 25 mm — 6 cones per tray — approx. 5 cm diameter x 2.5 cm high; Rolled in mugwort-leaf paper (option photo label); source-listed unit weight 140 g.
Unit weights are the listing’s per-option shipping weights, not net moxa weight. Manufacturer caliper photos read 30.03 mm for the medium cone and 51.42 mm for the large cone. The option name calls the 18 x 27 mm cone a small fire-dragon-cup cone, while the size comparison photo labels it a regular cone; which cup it fits is not shown.
What are the materials, construction and packing?
- Material: mugwort wool, source-listed as Henan, China origin. The archived catalog entry lists 10:1 moxa wool for the medium cone; the ratio of the small and large cones is not stated.
- Construction: a compressed moxa wool core wrapped in paper; the medium and large cones are rolled in mugwort-leaf paper.
- Packing: 54 per tray (small) or 6 per shrink-wrapped tray (medium, large); carton quantity is “ask the seller” in the source.
- Storage: keep in a cool, dry place.
- Custom options: the source states logo printing and processing customization are possible.
What does the manufacturer say about these cones?
Manufacturer-described selling points, translated without verification:
- Enlarged and thicker than ordinary cones, giving a stronger fire, a fuller moxibustion feel and a longer burn.
- Aged pure mugwort (the title says aged; no period is stated).
- Mugwort-leaf paper is tough and thin, lights easily and gives less smoke.
- Natural earth-yellow moxa wool that is soft and clumps together.
- Strong but not drying heat; light smoke that is not choking.
- Fine white ash that keeps its shape, does not scatter easily and is easy to clean up.
How is this product used?
The manufacturer shows the approx. 3 cm cone placed in a medium fire-dragon cup and the approx. 5 cm cone in a large one. The source gives no step-by-step directions or burn time. Its precautions say to keep the heat comfortably warm and adjust the vent of the moxibustion device, and to treat one area for no more than 30 minutes. Confirm cup fit and directions with the manufacturer before ordering.
What general safety precautions apply?
Manufacturer precautions: do not leave burning moxa unattended, to avoid fire. Do not use when overtired, very hungry or full, drunk, very angry, frightened or thirsty, sweating heavily or very weak; no more than 30 minutes on one area; not within half an hour after a meal; no bathing within 2 hours afterwards. Not for pregnant women or people allergic to mugwort or with an allergic constitution; people with serious illness should consult a doctor first; minors and people who cannot look after themselves only under adult supervision. Stop at once if it feels too hot or redness, itching or discomfort appears; if a blister forms, stop on that area, keep it dry and keep it clean. Keep away from flammable items such as bed sheets and cushions so falling ash cannot burn skin; remove built-up ash away from the body and always extinguish the cone after use. Take care on sensitive areas such as the face, eyes and genitals. The product does not replace medicines or medical devices.
General fire precautions (ours, not quoted from the source): keep away from children, ventilate the room and use only a heat-safe holder.
What should buyers confirm before ordering?
Confirm the option, moxa wool ratio for the small and large cones, wrapper of the small cone, which cup or holder each size fits, net cone weight, burn time, shelf life, carton packing, packaging and labeling, current price, stock, minimum quantity, lead time and any test or export documents for the chosen order.
