What is the purpose of inserting mugwort leaves?
In some parts of China, people plant mugwort leaves on the Dragon Boat Festival to pray for blessings and prevent diseases. Dragon Boat Festival is a traditional festival in China, which is regarded as an evil day in ancient folk customs. Artemisia argyi is planted to pray for blessing and prevent diseases and disasters.
The scientific explanation is that during the Dragon Boat Festival, the weather is hot and dry, and epidemics are easy to spread. At the same time, it is also the season for snakes and insects to breed. Snakes and insects may often bite at home, and the smell of mugwort leaves can drive away snakes and insects to a certain extent.
