Don't hang wormwood after drying. The Dragon Boat Festival is in the midsummer, and it is the time when herbs have the strongest medicinal properties. People say that wormwood exposed to the sun can't be hung up because its medicinal properties become less strong after being exposed to the sun. Therefore, in order to make wormwood have more medicinal value, the more obvious the effect of repelling mosquitoes and flies, people usually pick it on the mountain in the early days of Dragon Boat Festival.
Don't hang wormwood on incomplete and short plants. Because wormwood is hung on both sides of the door, it is the facade of the family, so those wormwood with incomplete plants and short stature belong to defective products, which are not as good as wormwood with big trees in appearance and efficacy, so such wormwood cannot be hung.
