For instance, do you believe Artemisia can get rid of the evil? Yes, in Taiwan, most people still trust it has this function. Especially, when we attend a funeral , no matter they are adults or children, they must carry with Artemisia or put it on the pocket to repel evil spirit, and no matter you believe it or not, you will always follow other people to do so. This is a typical custom in Taiwan.
Furthermore, it is said that add Artemisia into the bath tub and bathe the baby can help the baby sleep well at night. My younger sisiter is a babysittter. She tried this herbal remedy for the baby she look after. It is said that it is workable. In our daily life, we will trust the method that we do not believe when we cannot figure out a good solution. Or we should say " we had no choice but to trust it". This is humanity as well.
However, Artemisia is used to drive out evil spirits and insure safety since the ancient. Such as during the Dragon Boat Festival, every household will hang Artemisia argyi on the door to repel evil spirits. It is an ancinet custom.
