Dried Mugwort Leaf

Artemisia vulgaris

Known as the “mother of herbs” during the Middle Ages, the use of mugwort for its apparent remedial benefits dates back millennia. 

What are the benefits of dried mugwort leaf?

• Sensitive skin? We’ve got you covered! When applied topically, gentle mugwort leaf can help to reduce inflammation, soothe irritated skin and calm redness. 
• Studies* have shown that mugwort contains antioxidant, antifungal and antibacterial properties, making it helpful for caring for small breakages in the skin. This means it’s a useful ingredient for helping to promote a healthy skin barrier and protect our microbiome.   
• Bathing in dried mugwort leaf is thought to alleviate body fatigue, muscle cramp and menstrual issues. The herbaceous benefits of this plant bring antispasmodic and analgesic relief that make it perfect for easing a tired body. 

Blessed by Artemis

The ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Romans were all fans - this wonder-plant’s very name, Artemisia vulgaris, comes from the Greek goddess of menstruation and childbirth, Artemis, thanks to the herb’s supposed uterine stimulating properties.
