Ancient Chinese believe that natural gourds (葫芦, Hulu) can remove sickness Qi (气) from your body by absorbing the sickness Qi (气) and helps to improve health conditions. Placing the natural gourd beside your bed can help to remove your sickness Qi (气) while you are sleeping and resting. This is why you should throw away the gourd after a year and replace it with a new one.
