Description
Also known as
Chrysanthemum Weed, Sailor's Tabacco, St John's Plant, and, adding in some
confusion, Common Wormwood or Wild Wormwood. Traditionally mugwort has been
used as a tea for a wide variety of purposes, from purportedly stimulating
digestion to supposedly increasing blood circulation. Mugwort naturally
contains the toxin thujone, which is toxic in large amounts or under prolonged
intake and should never be used during pregnancy.
