At this time, you can soak your feet in moxa water until your body sweats, but you must drink ginger and brown sugar water at the same time. Add scallion when you have a fever, and add a few cloves of garlic when you have a cough. Drink it several times in a row until your body is hot and you no longer have body aches and runny nose. Then drink plenty of boiled water to expel the virus and cold fire in time, and pay attention to rest. The mother's cold will get better soon. Therefore, the correct use of mugwort can effectively relieve and cure physical ailments.
