Mugwort: Folk Medicine, Body, and Spirit
In folk medicine, Mugwort has always been seen as a plant that works on many levels. It cares for the body, clears the mind, and steadies the spirit all at once. Healers across cultures used it as a gentle but powerful ally for both the physical and the unseen.
For the body, Mugwort was used to support digestion, calm the stomach, and ease menstrual cramps. It helps move stuck energy in the body, which is why it has often been used after heavy meals or times of stress. Traditional midwives also worked with it to help regulate cycles and bring warmth to the womb.
For the spirit, Mugwort was burned or brewed in teas to cleanse spaces and open the mind to intuition. Many saw it as a bridge between the physical and the spiritual world, a plant that could help people release fear and connect with their deeper knowing.
In many traditions, Mugwort was carried for protection, placed under pillows to encourage prophetic dreams, and burned to drive away unwanted energy. It reminds us that healing is not only about the body, but about peace within the mind and balance in the heart.
Working with Mugwort invites stillness, awareness, and trust in your own rhythm. She teaches that true healing starts with understanding yourself: what you carry, what you release, and what you are ready to grow into.
🪶 Reflection Prompt: Think about the last time you felt out of balance. Which part of you needed more care (body, mind, or spirit) and how could you bring that back into harmony now?
