What are the remedies for 2-year-old children crying at night to ward off evil spirits?

Flowers and plants, in addition to decorating our lives, many flowers and plants have also been given special significance. For example, roses represent love, carnations represent family ties and are used to honor relatives. And there is such a kind of grass, and the function people give it is even more amazing. It is often used by people to "exorcise evil spirits". This is wormwood, commonly known as "wormwood" in many rural areas.

The saying that wormwood "exorcises evil spirits" has a long history. Every year during the Dragon Boat Festival, every household collects wormwood and hangs it in front of the door, thinking that it can ward off diseases and ward off evil spirits. So, can wormwood really "exorcise evil spirits"? Of course, this statement is full of superstition, but it also contains scientific truth today. Because in ancient times, when a plague was prevalent, people in the whole village were often infected, and the fundamental reason for the spread of the plague was viruses and bacteria, but the ancients did not realize this and thought it was caused by evil spirits. If explained by modern medical theory, this evil is virus and bacteria. Moreover, modern medical research also shows that the essential oil in wormwood can inhibit or kill a variety of pathogenic bacteria and viruses.

Nevertheless, the "exorcism" effect of wormwood is deeply rooted among the people, and even the rural hometown where the author lives is still using wormwood to treat "night crying". The so-called "crying at night" means that children always cry at night. In this regard, the average family member will put a handful of wormwood under the child's bed or bedside, and the child will really stop crying and sleep peacefully.

In fact, for this "folk prescription", it is generally believed that wormwood has played the role of "exorcism". In fact, people just deify the efficacy of wormwood to soothe the nerves and help sleep. Modern research shows that the volatile components (essential oil) of wormwood can inhibit or kill bacteria and viruses in the surrounding environment of houses, and its special fragrance has the functions of sterilization, antivirus, calming the nerves and relieving fatigue. Therefore, placing wormwood under the child's bed or bedside can soothe the nerves, eliminate dampness, resist bacteria and viruses, and help the baby sleep.
