A 2-in-1 tool to gently massage, relax, and revitalize
1 Piece
Description
Elegant, compact, and versatile, this natural Bian stone box combines tradition with modern comfort.
1. Daily Use:
Thanks to its sculpted base with rounded reliefs, it allows for a deep and invigorating massage, especially suited for the scalp, neck, or tension zones such as the back or legs.
Used on the scalp and hair, it promotes gentle stimulation that helps release nervous tension, boost local circulation, and bring a pleasant sensation of clarity and lightness.
2. Enhanced benefits with moxibustion mode:
By inserting a moxa stick, the box diffuses a steady and pleasant heat, helping to relieve deep-seated tension and reactivate energy flow.
Its ergonomic shape allows targeted application, whether used dynamically or left in place on a specific area.
Why Bian stone?
Bian stone, used for thousands of years in China, is known for its unique natural properties. It emits gentle micro-vibrations, retains and evenly diffuses heat, and provides a dense yet soothing contact—ideal for releasing tension.
- Without heat (massage): it enables subtle manual stimulation, relieves muscular tension, and promotes a sense of balance and relaxation.
- With heat (moxa): it enhances the benefits of moxibustion by emitting steady and penetrating warmth, ideal to warm cold areas and meridians, release deep tension, and stimulate energy circulation, following the principles of TCM.
Its density, ergonomic shape, and natural interaction with the body make it a precious tool for your wellness rituals.
Why combine massage and moxibustion?
Combining deep heat from moxibustion with mechanical massage stimulation creates a powerful synergy.
The heat relaxes tissues and promotes energy circulation, while the textured surface locally activates circulation and key points.
Together, they amplify the benefits: the body relaxes, energy flows better, and relief is felt quickly and lastingly.
An ideal tool for those seeking a natural, targeted, and holistic approach to well-being.
Usages
Massage:
- Hold the box by its top part, keeping the textured base in contact with the skin.
- Apply it directly to the area to be massaged: scalp, neck, back, legs, etc.
- Use circular or back-and-forth motions, with gentle to moderate pressure depending on your comfort.
- On the scalp, work zone by zone, gradually moving from the top of the head down to the base of the neck.
- On bare skin, using a massage oil is recommended to ease the glide and enhance the relaxing effect.
Moxibustion:
- Open the lid and insert a moxa stick.
- Light it until it glows.
- Close the lid and adjust the heat using the magnet on the ventilation hole.
- Apply the base to the desired area using gentle circular movements or hold it still.
- After use, allow the stick to burn out completely, then unscrew the base to remove the ashes.
FAQ
1. I don’t want to use moxibustion. Is this tool still useful?
Absolutely. Even without the moxa function, this tool is highly effective for manual massage, especially on the scalp, neck, or tense areas. The Bian stone provides gentle, targeted stimulation — perfect for daily use.
2. Do ashes or residue fall on my hair or skin during moxibustion?
No. The box is designed to be airtight and secure. Ashes remain inside and do not escape during use.
3. What are the benefits of using this tool on the scalp? Can I use moxibustion at the same time?
Scalp massage with the Bian stone base stimulates microcirculation, relaxes nervous tension, and brings a sense of lightness and clarity. Moxibustion can be used as a complement, but it should be done cautiously: in cases of hypertension or internal heat, it is not recommended. When in doubt, consult a trained practitioner.
4. How do I clean the box after using moxibustion?
Let the box cool completely, then unscrew the base to empty the ashes. Clean the interior with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive products or prolonged soaking to preserve the stone.
Warnings
Do not use directly on damaged, irritated, or wounded skin.
Always check the temperature of the box before application, especially in moxibustion mode, to avoid any risk of burns.
Do not leave the box in prolonged contact with the same area without supervision, especially when a moxa stick is lit inside.
In moxibustion mode, never use the box while lying on your back if it is placed freely (risk of tipping or burns).
Keep out of reach of children and individuals sensitive to heat when used with moxa.
Use only in a well-ventilated area when burning a moxa stick.
Always extinguish the moxa stick after each session and wait until the box is fully cooled before emptying the ashes.
Clean the box regularly, especially after moxibustion, to prevent residue buildup.
Do not use during pregnancy without medical advice or consultation with a trained TCM practitioner, especially in case of moxibustion.
During moxibustion, avoid wind, cold, and humidity.
