Artemisia argyi is a perennial plant of Artemisia in Compositae, which has a very special smell. It has strong vitality, wide distribution, and treasures everywhere, and has the reputation of "diamond in the grass".
Compendium of Materia Medica is recorded as pure Yang grass. It can alleviate the problem of cold hands and feet caused by sudden warming and returning to cold, and has obvious effects of warming meridians to stop bleeding, dispelling cold and relieving pain. It is a good friend of people with deficiency and cold constitution.
Besides medicine, wormwood has some other uses. Folium Artemisiae Argyi can be dried in the sun and made into moxa sticks, which can be used for moxibustion and can also be used as the raw material of "inkpad". In addition, it can also be used to make insecticidal pesticides, and it can also be used to disinfect and kill insects in smoking rooms. "Willows inserted in Qingming Festival, wormwood inserted in Dragon Boat Festival" is because the special fragrance of wormwood has the function of repelling mosquitoes and expelling insects. Therefore, people hang wormwood in front of the door during the Dragon Boat Festival, and of course they also have psychological expectations of avoiding evil spirits.
However, what I want to talk about today is its most important use-eating ~
Nutrition found that wormwood is rich in dietary fiber and carotene, and it is also a food with high potassium and low sodium, which helps to protect blood vessels and stabilize blood pressure. If you are so nutritious, you can get rid of dampness and dispel cold. If you don't eat it soon, when will you eat it?
As the saying goes, "eating wormwood in Qingming Festival is no disaster." The wormwood before and after Qingming is the most tender and suitable for entrance.
