DNA-based phylogenetic analysis of mugwort for moxibustion from Japan, China, and South Korea
ConclusionsBy identifying the various MFM varieties in Japan as the same species, this study showed that Japanese moxa floss can be characterized not only by manufacturing process, but also by raw material. The identification is also believed to provide basic information to understand the historical changes of places of MFM production.
