Classical sachet: a perfume that never goes out of fashion

The production of sachets can not be separated from spices, which are mostly aromatic Chinese medicines, and these drugs are mostly products for removing filth and turbidity.

This antibody has a strong killing effect on viruses and bacteria and is helpful to improve the body's disease resistance.

The sachet can be worn on the chest at any time or hung in the house. If the sachet is worn for a long time, you can also take out powder to burn it. The smell of incense can remove natural bacteria in the air to some extent.
