The mugwort plant belongs to the Artemis herb family. In China, during middle ages, it was used by women for improving their reproductive systems. On the other hand, in Europe, Mugwort oil had a very interesting group of followers. The cults involved in witchcraft and black magic were the principal disciples of Mugwort oil.

Right now, very few of us know the pros of incorporating Mugwort essential oil in our daily lives. The below 5 points will definitely enlighten you about this:

1. Beneficial During Menstruation:

Are you suffering from a delayed menstruation cycle for the past few months? Before rushing off to the gynaecologist, you could try out Mugwort essential oil. But do remember that you must buy this oil from a reputed brand and, if possible, ask a seasoned aromatherapist about how to inject this essential oil in your body. Mugwort essential oil benefits not only women suffering from irregular menstruation, but even women suffering from early menopause (1). Mugwort essential oil also makes the muscle cramps, abdominal pain or nausea associated with periods disappear.

2. Cures Indigestion:

Digestive disorders can be caused due to several factors – from a micro-bacterial spread out in your stomach to the abnormal flow of digestive juices (2). Mugwort essential oil has the capacity to cure your digestion problems by placing obstacles in the path of the micro-bacterial spread out. It also channelizes the proper flow of the digestive juices so that the patient can get rid of indigestion. But as stated above, a moderate and careful dosage is the safest way. Many of us feel bloated or experience gas formation after a heavy and gourmet meal. What is the other way out except popping pills? Try out the Mugwort essential oil if you have these symptoms.

3. Maintains The Health Of The Uterus:

In ancient China, the sage women used to apply Mugwort oil on new mothers for the production of breast milk. Irregular periods can lead to PCOS(Polycystic Ovary Syndrome), that may cause infertility in a woman. A mild dosage of Mugwort oil can help cure these problems related to the reproductive health of women (3). But do it once a learned aromatherapist guides you. Keep in mind that this oil has some toxic elements that can have harmful effects on pregnant women. So, never ever use this when you are carrying a child in your womb. Use it before or after your pregnancy by blending this oil with another carrier oil like rosemary, sage or oak moss.

4. Regulates Hormone Secretion:

The irregular hormone secretion comes with a pile of problems – from obesity to infertility, from mood swings to a sudden growth of body hair and many other issues (4). Each of these symptoms is pretty common in both the genders. With Mugwort essential oil, you can control the hormone secretion in your body. Like its authority over channelizing the digestive juices, Mugwort essential oil has the power to regularize the fluctuating levels of hormone secretions.

5. Soothes Tensed Nerves:

Fatigue, hyperreactivity or stress – your nerves can be subjected to any of these from time to time. Mugwort oil can benefit your strained nerves in a wonderful manner. If you encounter nervous affliction quite frequently in a year, then you may consider contacting your nearby aromatherapist for the correct dosage of Mugwort essential oil to cure this problem.

Apart from the above 5 points, Mugwort essential oil is instrumental in curing dysfunctional urination, cold and cough as well as epilepsy. But as this oil is pretty poisonous otherwise, moderation and care are required while dealing with it.
