Overview & Potential Benefits

Mugwort doesn't only give you rememberable and lucid dreams but has a whole host of other health benefits and uses. This popular herb can be used to calm nerves, regulate the menstrual cycle, as a diuretic, a flavoring in food, to help with anxiety, depression, restlessness, and headaches.

Mugwort has been used for centuries to help with pregnancy and menstruation-related issues. It is believed to have various health benefits, including pain relief, supporting liver health, easing muscle cramps, and improving digestion. Mugwort may also have antibacterial and antifungal properties

Many people consider mugwort a common weed. It spreads aggressively and can take over large parts of a garden. Because it's related to ragweed, people may destroy it unknowingly when it turns up in their garden. But in certain parts of the world, it's purposely grown to make herbal medicine. Mugwort may offer benefits with:

• Stress relief
• Energy levels
• Sleep
• Itch relief
• Blood circulation
• Headaches
• Liver health
• Digestion problems
• Repelling insects
• Relieving muscle aches
• Menstrual Cycles
• Urine output

Mugwort is considered safe for most people. However, you shouldn't use it if you're pregnant because it may cause uterine contractions and bleeding. Due to the lack of safety research, you also shouldn't give it to children or use it while breastfeeding.
