Mugwort, also known as Ai Ye, Felon Herb, St. John's Plant, Common Artemisia, Chrysanthemum Weed, Sailor's Tobacco, Moxa, and Wild Wormwood, is found in North America, Asia, and Europe, including Great Britain. Mugwort, a close relative of Wormwood, is a hardy plant, usually growing to about 3 ft. in height, with stout stems somewhat purple in color. Mugwort is easy to grow and thrives even in poor soil. In North America, Mugwort is considered to be a weed, as it is very hard to eradicate. In Europe and Asia, Mugwort's reputation is much better. Mugwort has a long history of medicinal use in both cultures. During the European Middle Ages, Mugwort was known as Cingulum Sancti Johannis. It was believed that John the Baptist wore a girdle made of Mugwort in the wilderness. Belief grew that Mugwort could prevent misfortune from befalling travelers. Mugwort is sometimes called St. John's Plant because of the tradition of gathering Mugwort on St. John's Eve to protect against disease and other tragedies. Mugwort was also believed to enhance dreams if placed under one's pillow. In the Asian tradition, Mugwort was used in concoctions to treat rheumatism.
Later in European history, Mugwort was used as a nervine to ease the symptoms of epilepsy and palsy. It has also been used as a uterine stimulant and treatment for amenorrhea, especially in conjunction with Cramp Bark. Mugwort has also been used in the treatment of constipation, depression, anxiety, and vomiting.
Recently, research has focused on the antibacterial and antifungal properties of Mugwort. In addition to its healing properties, Mugwort is also a good natural source of Vitamin C, Beta-Carotene, Fiber, Calcium, Zinc, and Quercetin.
