Some people are born with adverse reactions or allergies to these drugs, so it is not suitable for such people, especially children. Because children are in a period of rapid growth and development, if they take mugwort leaves to soak in water at this time, it will affect their development, which is very unfavorable to their growth and development. Therefore, mugwort leaves in drinking water are very unfavorable at this time, which will damage their physical development and bone health.
3, menstrual period should not be taken.
Women in menstrual period should not soak in water with mugwort leaves. Earlier, Shuai Shuai also told everyone that Artemisia argyi is a cold medicine, and women's bodies are vulnerable to cold, which will lead to many symptoms and even irregular menstruation. If mugwort leaves are used at this time, this phenomenon will be aggravated and the physiological cycle of women will be disrupted.

Some substances in Artemisia argyi will react with some metals, and these reactions are very unstable. Once this chemical reaction occurs, it will produce some harmful substances, which are very harmful to human body, especially iron tannic acid. Therefore, if mugwort leaves are soaked in water, try not to use metal containers, and it is best to use non-metal containers such as wooden pots.

We should avoid taking Folium Artemisiae Argyi during soaking in water, for example, stop taking drugs that will conflict with or interfere with Folium Artemisiae Argyi, and avoid eating foods that will affect the efficacy, for example, don't eat raw and cold food, and put less tea leaves because of the large amount of tannic acid in tea leaves to best reflect its efficacy.

Some elderly people are not suitable to take mugwort leaves if they feel dizzy and dreamy, including some patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and diabetics, so they should be used with caution.
