“Mugwort is a common name for several species of aromatic plants in the genus Artemisia. In Europe, it most often refers to the species Artemisia vulgaris, or common mugwort. While more specific common names sometimes refer to other species, they may be called “mugwort” in many contexts.

“Mugwort has a tart flavor with notes of mint and juniper and is often used as a seasoning in Northern European cuisines. It can be found in the wild along roadsides or in herb gardens. The leaves are fuzzy and light green on top, with a lighter color on the underside. The stem is also fuzzy and light green but becomes less fuzzy and darker with age, sometimes turning almost purple.
It is also used medicinally, with the above-ground parts and roots used to make medicine. It’s promoted for various conditions, including digestive problems, irregular menstruation, high blood pressure, sedation, and liver tonic. However, there isn’t much scientific evidence to support these uses, and mugwort might cause side effects like allergic reactions or miscarriage. It’s also likely unsafe to take mugwort by mouth during pregnancy, and there isn’t enough information to know if it’s safe to use while breastfeeding.
It is invasive in North America, especially in the eastern United States and Canada. It can spread aggressively through its rhizome system, displacing native species and disrupting natural ecosystems.
