Mugwort, a weed to many, is a herb with lots of benefits. I personally love to consume or use it in many ways. Making omellete is just one of them.

Below are some interesting finds on mugwort from the internet:

1) Mugwort is used for many medical reasons, including:

Relieving stress
Boosting energy
Promoting blood circulation
Relieving headaches
Supporting liver health
Relieving itching
Increasing urine output
Easing digestion problem
Repelling insects
Relieving muscle aches
Normalizing menstrual cycles

2) Mugwort's active Components

The parts of the mugwort plant that grow above the ground are used to make essential oil. Compounds in the oil (including camphor, pinene, and cineole) are said to have potent antioxidant, antibacterial, and antifungal effects.

A chemical called artemisinin is also found in the root, stem, leaves, and blossoms of the mugwort plant. When taken by mouth, artemisinin is said to cause gentle contractions of the uterus, promoting regular periods. In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), it is also sometimes used to induce labor.

Artemisinin is thought to have anti-cancer properties, though this has yet to be proven.

3) Conditions Treated By Mugwort

To date, there is little scientific poor that mugwort can prevent or treat any medical condition. Even so, it is regularly used for people with:

Amenorrhea (irregular or absent periods)
Anxiety
Chronic fatigue
Colic
Constipation
Depression
Eczema
Diarrhea
Epilepsy
Headaches and migraines
Insomnia
Nausea or vomiting

4) In traditional Chinese medicine, mugwort is also used in the practice of moxibustion. Moxibustion involves rolling mugwort into sticks or cones, igniting it, and waving it over the part of the body being treated. This is thought to enhance the effects of acupuncture.

5) Possible Side Effects of Mugwort

Mugwort is considered safe more most people but should not be used in those who are pregnant as it may cause the uterus to contract and induce miscarriage. Due to the lack of safety research, mugwort should also not be used in children or people who are breastfeeding.
