Since ancient times, people in China have used Folium Artemisiae Argyi to dispel cold and dampness and prevent diseases. For example, if you accidentally catch a cold or get caught in the rain, you can take a moxa bath immediately after you get home, which can play a role in regulating qi and blood, expelling cold and removing dampness, and preventing colds.
Take 50 ~ 100g of fresh wormwood, put it in the bathtub and soak it in boiling water for 5 ~ 10 minutes, then take it out and adjust it to the appropriate water temperature to take a bath. If it's too much trouble or you can't find fresh mugwort leaves, you can also go to the drugstore to buy some dried mugwort leaves to soak your feet.

Ai culture has a long history. As early as in the Book of Songs, wormwood was already a very important livelihood plant. There is another legend about the origin of Ai. According to legend, King Wu was surrounded by a famous doctor named Xiao Ai. One day, he collapsed in the tent of the army after having diarrhea for many days. In order to treat the dying soldier, he made a house call sick, but he accidentally tripped over a weed fire to repel mosquitoes and was burned by the fire.
However, when he treated the soldiers, he was surprised to find that he had recovered from his illness, but he had several scars on his body. So he had a whim and burned the corresponding position of the patient's body with unknown weeds. All the burned soldiers are getting better. King Wu praised Xiao Ai, but Xiao Ai did not dare to take credit. He replied, "This is the masterpiece of weeds."
King Wu announced to the whole army: "Weeds are nameless, so they are named after Xiao Ai and Artemisia argyi." Because of its great role, Ai has been endowed with many reputations by the ancients, such as respecting the elderly for Ai, describing young and beautiful women as "less Ai", maintaining it as "protecting Ai" in the Book of Songs and writing "Ai An" in Historical Records, which shows the deep love of the ancients for Ai.
