Mugwort Tincture (50ml)
Mugwort is a revered and respected herb that has been used for protection, healing and endurance for centuries throughout Europe and Asia.
Used traditionally to treat violent menstrual cramps and epilepsy experienced with birthing, today, Mugwort is used as a menstrual cramp regulator and digestive bitter tonic.
Mugwort acts strongly on the female reproductive system, increasing circulation to warm up the uterus and pelvic region, moving the blood, and removing stagnant blood, the source of cramps, stiffness and pain (Wood, 2008).
Evidence-based research validates traditional use, categorised as a ‘true emmenagogue’ exerting a toning and stimulating effect on the uterus to support the flow and activity of menstruation. Further, Mugwort is taken as a bitter tonic supporting the gastrointestinal tract to stimulate the appetite, improve digestion function and release gas/flatulence as a carminative (Fisher, 2018)
The interrelationship between the gut, uterus and nervous system support is evident in Mugwort’s action as an antispasmodic, reducing muscular tension in the gut, as well as relaxing the autonomic nervous system, facilitating a physical relaxation, without causing a sedative effect. (Hoffman, 2008).
Whilst Mugwort has several medicinal qualities and affinities throughout the body, Mugwort is also known as a potent herb for ritual, ceremony and healing. The Latin binomial name is associated with Artemis, the goddess of the moon and mother of nature. Mugwort shines in the moon and affects dreaming.
Isla Burgess says that Mugwort supports those “with frustration, anger, depression, susceptibility to chills, with sore cold joints and pains in the lower back, pelvis, uterus, infertility, menstrual disorders and so on”
Dorothy Hall’s traditional profile of the ‘Mugwort’ person is fairly intriguing. “It is suited to highly intelligent people with complex thoughts that are difficult to describe, speech disorders and dyslexia, highly elevated senses, sensitivity to light and sound, with great difficulty getting deep sleep. It is suited to people in whom the intuitive, psychic, creative, and artistic side of the mind is highly developed, who have trouble with expression, or with the world around them”.
