An herb to cheer you
Mugwort
Mugwort is a shrubby perennial for the daisy family native to North America. It is sometimes confused with wormwood. Mugwort is available as dried leaves and roots, a fluid extract, an infusion, or a tincture. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, mugwort is used for moxa treatments: small cones of dried mugwort leaves are burned in cups placed over certain points of the body, many of which coincide with acupuncture points. Mugwort is sometimes recommended as an herbal treatment for anxiety, stress, insomnia, mild depression, irritability, and restlessness. It also has been used to treat asthma, bacterial and fungal infections, coughing or vomiting up blood, diarrhea, cramps, intestinal gas, epilepsy, fever, headache, menopause symptoms, menstrual complaints, muscle spasms, persistent vomiting, poor circulation, rheumatism, skin inflammation, and tapeworms and other parasites.
