Mugwort herb - Latin Name: (Artemisia vulgaris)

Herbal Anecdote: Mugwort is said to have derived its name from having been used to flavor drinks. It was used for flavoring beer before the introduction of hops. Or possibly the name is derived from moughte (a moth or maggot), because the plant has been regarded as useful in warding off moth infestations.

Traditional Uses: Parasites, colic, diarrhea, constipation, intestinal cramps, laxative, tonic for strength and energy.
