Sometimes overlooked for more "flashy" herbs in this current day, it is still a favorite of wise women. Mugwort is most widely known for its affinity for the female reproductive system, used as a uterine stimulant that can bring on delayed menstruation and help restore a woman's natural monthly cycle. Often used as a smudging (burning) ceremonial herb. It is mildly sedative and useful in calming frayed nerves and easing stress.
As all the bitter herbs, it is an excellent digestive stimulant, and is quite effective taken before or after heavy meals to alleviate gas and bloating.
One of the more interesting traditional uses of mugwort is that of a dream herb, it is often used as one of the main ingredients of sleep pillows, and it said to bring the dreamer more lucid dreams.

Mugwort for :Moxibustion |
|
Moxibustion is a traditional Chinese medicine technique that involves the burning of mugwort, a small, spongy herb, to facilitate healing and fast relief from aching muscles and joints. You can purchase a moxa 'cigar' at heath food stores that stock TCM items. Light it, and bring the glowing end near the painful area and move it around in small, slow spirals until the heat becomes too intense. Pain relief often lasts for twelve or more hours. Susun Weed, New Menopausal Years, The Wise Woman Way (2002) |
