Description
Mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris)
Mugwort has been studied for its effects on the body, including its antioxidant, hepatoprotective, antispasmolytic, antinociceptive, estrogenic, cytotoxic, antibacterial, and antifungal effects.
It has also been reviewed for its potential use in the cosmetic industry and as a spice in the food industry.
Studies have shown that mugwort may have antifertility activity, which may have implications for women who are pregnant or seeking to become pregnant.
Additionally, it has shown potential for use in the treatment of colon cancer and as an antimalarial agent.
Mugwort has also been found to have anti-spasmodic, bronchodilator, anti-diarrheal, and tracheo-relaxant effects.
However, it is important to note that mugwort is not a tonic herb and should be used with caution.
