Mugwort

Mugwort (Artemisia Vulgaris) relaxes the gastrointestinal tract and bile ducts. This promotes the production of bile and other digestive juices that help break down food and assist in moving it through the digestive system. Mugwort is a bitter herb that can relieve stomach acidity, indigestion, travel sickness, and acute bowel and stomach pain. Mugwort is used as a uterine tonic that stimulates a women's menstrual cycle or brings on delayed menstruation. Mugwort has antibacterial and antifungal properties that are effective against Candida, E. coli, and Salmonella.
