Sachets filled with fragrant herbs and medicinal powders are traditionally worn around the Dragon Boat Festival, which took place on June 18 this year.
The aromas they disperse are said to repel insects and, traditionally, to ward off evil spirits. Ancient Chinese people wore sachets as fashion accessories, but today they are more apt to be hung as household decorations.
The 300-year-old Leiyunshang pharmacy sells sachets in a variety of shapes and contents.
