The first step: Pick clean mugwort, which can be used fresh or dried;

The second step: Add water to the pot, add an appropriate amount of mugwort, and heat it over high heat After boiling, continue to simmer for ten minutes and turn off the heat;

Step 3: Pour the mugwort water into the footbath and wait quietly for the water temperature to change. Do not add cold water in the middle.
