Mugwort: A Powerful Plant with Rich History

Medicinal and Magical Uses

Many consider mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris) a weed, but it is a powerful plant with a long history of medicinal and magical use worldwide.

Historical Use in Asia

In China, Japan, and Korea, Artemisa has been used in moxibustion for thousands of years. In this practice, Artemisa leaves are rolled into sticks or cones, lit, and waved over the body to create gentle heat. It is believed to strengthen the blood, stimulate Qi (energy) flow, and maintain good health. It treats various ailments, from muscle pain and arthritis to headaches, fatigue, digestive issues, menstrual pain, infertility, and hot flashes.

Native American Traditions

In North America, indigenous people used Artemisa tea to treat digestive problems, menstrual irregularities, colds, and fever. They also used Artemis for smudging to purify a person, space, aura, or energy.

Dream Herb and Psychic Enhancer

Known as a "dream herb" in various traditions, Artemis is used to induce lucid dreams, aid astral projection, and enhance psychic powers. This is why it is a key ingredient in our Inspired Dreams infusion.

Modern Uses

Today, Artemisa is renowned as an "aromatic bitter" for supporting digestion and improving nutrition by stimulating bile production. It relieves gas, cramps, increases appetite, cleanses intestines, and acts as a powerful antiparasitic herb.

Menstrual Health

Artemisa is still used worldwide to support healthy menstruation: it stimulates circulation, warms the uterus, induces menstruation, and eliminates stagnant blood, reducing stiffness, cramps, and pain.

Pregnancy Warning

Due to its powerful effects, Artemisa is not recommended during pregnancy.
