What are the benefits of drinking Artemisia capillaris soaked in water?

Artemisia capillaris is a relatively common Chinese herbal medicine in traditional Chinese medicine. Artemisia capillaris was originally the young stems and leaves of Artemisia annua. Legend has it that it was named by Hua Tuo and its medicinal effects were discovered. As a Chinese herbal medicine with significant liver-protecting effects, Artemisia capillaris has relatively significant therapeutic effects on many types of hepatitis. It can also promote bile secretion and improve the blood circulation function of the human liver. For some people with liver diseases, it is a good medicine for treating diseases.

Legend has it that Hua Tuo was treating a patient with tuberculosis, but there was no good medicine available and the disease could not be cured. After a while, Hua Tuo found that the patient suddenly got better and asked him what medicine he had taken. He said he ate a kind of green wild grass. When Hua Tuo saw that it was Artemisia annua, he collected some from the fields and gave it to other tuberculosis patients for trial, but after several attempts, there was no effect. Hua Tuo then asked the recovered patient which month's wormwood he had eaten, and he said it was from March. Hua Tuo realized that in March, when the Yang energy rises and all the grasses sprout, perhaps the wormwood in March has medicinal properties. In the spring of the following year, Hua Tuo collected a lot of Artemisia annua in March and gave it to the patients with yellow tuberculosis. As expected, each patient got better after taking it, but after March, the Artemisia annua had no effect. In order to understand the medicinal properties of Artemisia annua, in the third year, Hua Tuo conducted classification experiments on the roots, stems and leaves. Clinical practice has proved that only the young stems and leaves can be used as medicine to treat diseases, and they are named "Artemisia capillaris". This is the legend of "Hua Tuo trying Artemisia annua three times". He also composed a song for future generations to learn from: "In March, Artemisia capillaris is used to treat tuberculosis, and in April, Artemisia annua is used as firewood."
