What is Mugwort Tincture?

Mugwort Tincture is a concentrated liquid extract of Artemisia vulgaris, Common Mugwort, an aromatic plant in the daisy family (Asteraceae). It is made by steeping the herb in alcohol at a 1:5 ratio, which draws the plant's compounds into the liquid and preserves them. We bottle it in a 1 fl oz amber dropper bottle.

About the plant

Mugwort is one of the most widely documented ceremonial and folk herbs across European, East Asian, and North American herbalism. It carries a long history in dream lore, in smudging, and in the European bitter-herb tradition, and it is closely related to Wormwood (Artemisia absinthium) in the same genus. Its characteristic constituents include sesquiterpene lactones and a lower level of thujone than its wormwood cousin.
