Potential Health Benefits
Mugwort contains various bioactive compounds, including artemisinin and thujone,
which contribute to its traditional medicinal uses:
 
 Digestive Support: Traditionally used to alleviate digestive issues such as colic,
diarrhea, and constipation by stimulating gastric juice and bile secretion.
 Menstrual Regulation: Employed to address irregular periods and menstrual
cramps, owing to its potential to stimulate uterine contractions.
 Antimicrobial Properties: Exhibits antibacterial and antifungal effects, which
may help in combating certain infections.
 Neurological Effects: Historically used as a sedative and to treat conditions like
hysteria and epilepsy, though scientific evidence is limited.
 Skin Health: In Korean skincare, mugwort is valued for its anti-inflammatory and
soothing properties, beneficial for conditions like eczema and acne.

Interactions with Medications
While mugwort is generally considered safe for most individuals, it may interact with
certain medications:
 
 Allergic Reactions: Individuals allergic to the Asteraceae family (e.g., ragweed,
daisies) may experience allergic reactions to mugwort.
 Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Mugwort may stimulate uterine contractions
thus, it's advised to avoid during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
 Surgery: Mugwort may affect blood glucose levels and interfere with blood sugar
control during and after surgery. It's recommended to stop using mugwort at least
two weeks before a scheduled surgery.

Note: Individuals taking these or other medications should consult with a healthcare
provider before incorporating mugwort into their regimen.
