Bitter tonic, stimulant, nervine tonic, emmenagogue, laxative,
diaphoretic
Mugwort can be used wherever a digestive stimulant is called
for. It will aid the digestion through the bitter stimulation
of the juices whilst also providing a carminative oil. It
has a mildly nervine action in aiding depression and easing
tension, which appears to be due to the volatile oil, so it
is essential that this is not lost in preparation. Mugwort
may also be used as an emmenagogue in the aiding of normal
menstrual flow.
Combinations : May be used widely where a bitter action is
needed.
