Pregnant women hanging sachets during the Dragon Boat Festival, please don’t be busy

　　Many places in southern my country have the custom of hanging sachets during the Dragon Boat Festival, which is also a way to prevent infectious diseases. In fact, you can also make Dragon Boat Festival sachets at home.
 
　　The Chinese medicines used in the homemade Dragon Boat Festival sachet are Atractylodes, Patchouli, Evodia, mugwort leaves, cinnamon, Amomum villosum and Angelica dahurica, two grams of each flavor, plus 1 gram of cloves. Grind these Chinese medicines finely, then put them in a dense cloth bag and sew them up. It can be worn on the chest, waist or navel, or the sachet can be hung at the door. Traditional Chinese medicine selected here is believed by Chinese medicine to have the functions of dispersing wind and cold, strengthening the spleen and stomach, regulating qi and relieving pain, and clearing the nine orifices. Most of them contain volatile oils with pure and long-lasting smell. The active ingredients of most traditional Chinese medicines can inhibit or kill various bacteria, viruses, and molds to varying degrees, thereby preventing diseases.
 
　　Parents can put the sachet in their child's pocket or pillow to treat influenza, diphtheria, chicken pox , meningococcal meningitis, measles and other infectious diseases all have certain preventive and auxiliary treatment functions.
 
　　The temperature is high in summer, and many people often feel that they have no appetite, so they also keep a sachet next to them. Because after the aroma of the Chinese medicine in the sachet is absorbed by the human body, it can promote the activity of the digestive glands, increase secretion, and thus enhance appetite.
 
　　Since the medicine in the sachet has a clearing effect, pregnant women should use it with caution. In addition, keep the sachet dry and pay attention to waterproofing and moisture-proofing. If the sachet comes into contact skin If rash, itching, etc. appear on the skin, please remove the sachet immediately and hang it in a well-ventilated place indoors or in the car.
