1 oz - Organic Mugwort Herb

Mugwort, also known as Common Wormwood, St. John's Plant and various other names, is a European herb noted for its fuzzy leaves.

Although mugwort is often encapsulated or used to prepare teas and tinctures, the herb is also compounded with other herbs and resins to produce ceremonial incense. John the Baptist, who lived in the wilderness of Judea, reputedly carried the herb for protection. Mugwort is also a traditional material for herbal sleep pillows. It is also said that placing dried mugwort under the pillow will promote lucid dreaming.

Considerations & Safety:

• Pregnancy and breastfeeding: Mugwort is not recommended for use during pregnancy, as it can stimulate uterine contractions and potentially lead to miscarriage. It is also advised to avoid breastfeeding, as there isn't enough safety data available.

• Drug interactions: Mugwort may interact with certain medications, including sedatives and anticoagulants (blood thinners). If you are on any medication, consult with a healthcare provider before using mugwort.

• Overuse: Mugwort can cause mild side effects when used in excess, including nausea, vomiting, or dizziness. Use it in moderation and avoid excessive doses.

• Not for long-term use: Mugwort is generally safe for short-term use, but it’s advisable to avoid prolonged or excessive use without medical supervision.
