Mugwort has many applications, including being closely associated with dreams, women’s health, and protecting people from ghosts, or things from the past that need to be released.

As you prepare to enter the new year, this herb will help you get better sleep or let go of old bothersome ghosts so you can start the New Year off fresh and ready to move forward.

Used as a smudge, in the form of moxa (the dried loose herb rolled into sticks for burning), it can be passed gently around or over your body to cleanse your mind or help Move Qi and Blood, relieving aches and pains.

Mugwort can also improve digestion, helping to relieve an overstuffed belly from holiday indulgences.
