these are great! they stay hot for a long time, just give them a shake every once in a while.

Advantages: great for low back with the strap provided

Disadvantages: not easy or ideal to strap to upper back

these little packs are AWESOME! I've had then stay hot for over 36 hours - you just have to re-shake to warm them up again. Great to give to patient following localized treatment of joint or muscle pains - keeps chi abundant and moving in the area.

Advantages: cheap, effective; stay warm with heated moxa

Disadvantages: they are out of stock at this time!

I try every topical product before giving to patients and I ended up returning the whole lot. The description is misleading. This is nothing like the adhesive moxa pack/discs. The moxa "belt" is pretty useless. Doesn't secure the moxa pack on the back. There is no real contact between the moxa and the skin. It is very cumbersome to use. I ended up having to use KT tape to secure the moxa pack to the low back.

Advantages: If you simply want to lay this on top of your thigh, knee, or ankle, it would work.

Disadvantages: See above.
