MUGWORT (Artemisa Vulgaris)

A member of the daisy family, mugwort, or Artemisia vulgaris, is native to Asia and Europe. It can get up to 6 feet tall and has yellow or reddish-brown flowers in summer. Its leaves have silvery fluff on their undersides and have a sage-like odor and slightly bitter taste. In the past, the mugwort was revered. People placed it under their pillows to induce vivid dreams and planted it around their homes and gardens to repel moths.

Mugwort has been used for its medicinal properties and in food for thousands of years. Although more research needs to be done, studies show that it is beneficial in the process of relieving stress and improving sleep. Talk to your doctor or someone trained in herbal medicine first if you want to try mugwort as a complementary health approach.
