The Dragon Boat Festival has just passed, and a new week of work has begun! But Yatou was surprised to find that there are mosquitoes! When she went home to see her mom during the Dragon Boat Festival, she found that there was a lot of mugwort at home, so she casually asked, what is this for? My mom said it is very useful, and Yatou had to find out more, so this article came about.

The benefits of mugwort

1. Mugwort can repel mosquitoes

Anyone who lives in the countryside should know that after drying mugwort, you put it in a small basin and light it. Mugwort has a pungent smell, and the smell is even stronger after being lit. This smell is one that mosquitoes dislike, so it has a mosquito-repelling effect; and mugwort also has antibacterial and disinfecting properties, which is also good for the body.

2. Eggs boiled with mugwort: relieves deficiency cold

Eggs boiled with mugwort not only have a rich mugwort aroma, but can also relieve deficiency cold. In particular, they have a very good relieving effect on abdominal pain and irregular menstruation caused by cold.

3. Soaking feet in mugwort: relieves dark circles and removes dampness

Dry the mugwort, grab a small handful directly, and put it in hot water so the mugwort can fully soak in the water. After the water temperature becomes tolerable, just soak your feet directly.

Having said so much, what should you do if you do not have mugwort at home:

Mugwort is relatively common in the wild. If everyone wants to grow it at home, the main thing is to find plants and plant them.

Some people think about buying some mugwort seeds to sow, but this is actually not recommended, because many times the seeds you buy are not necessarily the mugwort seeds you want. You can dig up the roots and stems of plants in the wild and bring them back for pot cultivation. If you are going to buy them, buying small seedlings is more reliable.

Growing mugwort in pots at home is basically the same as growing flowers, because the mugwort plant is still relatively tall, so when choosing a flowerpot, pay attention to choosing a deeper one. During care, pay attention to watering, generally watering when the soil is dry and stopping when it is wet. When growing it on a balcony, you also need to pay attention to light, and provide shade in summer.

Note: After all, mugwort grows in the wild, and its plant type is relatively tall, so it needs to be topped in time.
