from wiki:Mugwort contains thujone, which is toxic. Thujone is also present in Thuja plicata (western red cedar), from which the name is derived. Pregnant women, in particular, should avoid consuming large amounts of mugwort. The species is little used now due to toxicity concerns, but has a number of recorded historic uses in food, herbal medicine, and as a smoking herb.

It is only the mature Cronewort that contains thujone oil, it is made by the flowers.

@DeathDealer48 Really? Its little used is it? LOL You need to check your 'facts' Mugwort is still very much in use by Herbalists, wuth no ill effects because we know our plants and their effects, unlike irroneous 'facts' conjured up by researchers that have no working knowledge of what they are writing about.

Susun I love you!

@HerbWyfe and you my dear need to jam your hype. I linked some info from wikki that i wanted the true info about as wikki cant always be trusted. I wasnt accusing anyone of anything i just wanted to put out what i read and hear back from someone first hand. you dont have to get all defensive when i wasnt even chattin to you. keeping your over excitied mouth to yourself in future would be much appreicated

@herbalenquiry If you put it in a dream pillow with some valerian root it'll work even better.

artemisia vulgaris is Tchornobylnik in Ukrainian.

That's how the city named Chernobyl got its name. Because there are mugworts all over the place there.

I love armetisia vulgaris, has me flying through the space of my own imagination at night, how do you make your vinegar? That sounds delicious!

[RyanSC12]

i have a plant growing in my backyard that looks exactly like like the mugwort here but with much bigger leaves and it also has that nice smell, is it still mugwort?
