Artemisia vulgaris · Cut Dried Leaf · Traditional Botanical

Dried Mugwort Leaf (Artemisia vulgaris) is an aromatic traditional botanical, recognised for its distinctive deeply divided leaves and naturally herbaceous, bitter character.

Mugwort belongs to the daisy family (Asteraceae) and has a long history in traditional European and Asian botanical practices. The plant is known for its deeply lobed foliage, aromatic character and bitter flavour.

Traditionally prepared as a herbal infusion, the dried leaves create what is commonly called mugwort tea, a strongly herbaceous cup sometimes blended with complementary botanicals.

At Flowers from my Meadow, our Mugwort Leaf is kept pure and uncomplicated: a single dried botanical, carefully packed for those interested in traditional herbal preparations.

How to Prepare

For a traditional infusion, add approximately 1 teaspoon of dried Mugwort Leaf to a cup or teapot. Pour over freshly boiled water, cover and steep for 5–10 minutes, then strain. Mugwort has a pronounced bitter character. Consult a healthcare professional before consuming herbal preparations regularly.

Precautions

Do not use during pregnancy. Mugwort is not recommended during breastfeeding or for children without professional guidance.

Avoid use if allergic to Mugwort or related plants in the Asteraceae family, including ragweed. If taking medication or managing a medical condition, seek healthcare guidance before use. Stop use if sensitivity occurs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Mugwort the same as Wormwood?
No. Mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris) and Wormwood (Artemisia absinthium) belong to the same botanical genus, Artemisia, but they are different plant species.
Is Mugwort the same as Chinese Mugwort?
Not necessarily. The name Mugwort can refer to several Artemisia species. Our Mugwort is Artemisia vulgaris, so checking the botanical name is important when comparing products.
Why is the botanical name important when buying Mugwort?
Common plant names can be shared by different species. The botanical name Artemisia vulgaris identifies the particular species offered on this page.
Is your Mugwort a tea blend?
No. This is a single dried botanical containing Mugwort Leaf rather than a formulated tea blend. You can use it alone or combine it with other suitable botanicals and ingredients.
Why is Mugwort naturally bitter?
Bitterness is part of Mugwort’s natural botanical character. The leaves contain naturally occurring aromatic and bitter plant compounds that contribute to its distinctive flavour.
Can I make a weaker Mugwort infusion?
Yes. If you find Mugwort particularly strong, use less dried leaf or shorten the steeping time. You can also combine it with complementary ingredients to soften its flavour.
Can dried Mugwort be blended with other herbs?
Yes. Its robust flavour pairs particularly well with aromatic herbs, warming spices and fruit. Our Meadow Kitchen above includes several ideas for experimenting with Mugwort at home.
Where can I buy Artemisia vulgaris in South Africa?
