Mencius said: "For an illness of seven years, seek mugwort aged for three years." This indicates that serious illnesses can be treated and cured by using mugwort that has been stored for a long time, as mugwort possesses excellent therapeutic efficacy.
Mugwort has a history of over two thousand years as a medicinal herb for treating illnesses, holding a significant place in Chinese history. Both the stems and leaves of mugwort contain volatile aromatic oils. Ancient people believed that the smoke produced by burning mugwort could prevent diseases and epidemics. These benefits have since been confirmed by modern research, which proves that mugwort smoke has an inhibitory effect on various pathogenic bacteria, fungi, and viruses that cause different infectious and epidemic diseases. Consequently, it has long been utilized for health cultivation and medical treatment.
What are the benefits of mugwort to the human body? "With three-year-aged mugwort at home, the doctor has no need to come."
Mugwort is documented in ancient Chinese medical classics passed down for millennia, including the Compendium of Materia Medica (Bencao Gangmu), The Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic (Huangdi Neijing), Recipes for Fifty-Two Diseases (Wushier Bingfang), and the Treatise on Cold Damage Diseases (Shanghan Lun), holding a prominent position in traditional medicine.
