Artemisia vulgaris Organic (Mugwort) Dried Aerials

Description For many centuries, Artemisia vulgaris, commonly known as Mugwort, has been mainly used for treating gynaecological ailments and gastrointestinal diseases. It is said that Mugwort may be useful to stimulate digestion, bring on a normal menstrual flow and to help expel intestinal worms. The dried leaves are often smoked or drunk as a tea to promote lucid dreaming. This supposed dream-enhancing effect is reported to be due to the thujone contained in the plant. In India the species is used for its antispasmodic, larvicide, anthelmintic and stomachic properties. Artemisia vulgaris has also been associated with various cultural and folklore beliefs. In some traditions, it’s believed to have protective properties and is used in rituals for purification and warding off negative energies.   How to Brew Mugwort Tea Heat water to a boil.
