This remedy is an extremely potent & lucid oil traditionally known as “the witch’s herb'“ or “crone wort”. Its scientific name Artemisia also has associations with the greek goddess Artemis, Goddess of Childbirth & supporting women through all phases of their lives. In indigenous cultures, Mugwort was traditionally used to facilitate communication with the ancestors & enhance one’s psychic capacities. This medicine is considered to be a veil medicine, meaning it enables one’s ability to access the liminal realms & communicate with the otherworld.
Mugwort is a highly sought-after medicine due to its affinity for the female reproductive system & its ability to induce & activate dreams. It is commonly used as a uterine stimulant and can be applied topically onto the lower abdomen for both stimulating delayed menses as well as aiding in the balance of regulating the menstrual cycle. This remedy is a women’s medicine in the way that it warms the womb, promotes circulation, relaxes tension, & diminishes excessive bleeding. Mugwort is also a wonderful ally for calming & soothing the mind and excessive thinking.
This medicine has also been used for ceremonial purposes & aiding in lucid dreaming. Though this plant is not to be taken lightly, it is an extremely potent medicine & a little bit goes a long way.
