Artemisia vulgaris
Aromatic European Artemisia used for digestive conditions, menstrual regulation, and as the basis for Japanese moxa treatment.
Mugwort European (Artemisia vulgaris) is an aromatic perennial herb traditionally used in European folk medicine as a digestive bitter and emmenagogue, and in East Asian medicine as the base for moxibustion. Its primary modern applications include digestive stimulation, menstrual regulation, and antispasmodic effects, attributed to active compounds such as thujone, cineole, camphor, and flavonoids. Despite limited clinical evidence (Level C), it remains a popular herbal remedy, though its thujone content raises safety concerns, particularly in pregnancy and epilepsy.
Mugwort's bitter principles (e.g., sesquiterpene lactones) stimulate gastric and bile secretion via activation of bitter taste receptors (T2Rs) on the tongue and gut, enhancing digestion. Thujone acts as a GABA-A receptor antagonist, which may explain both its convulsant potential and its traditional nervine effects at low doses. Cineole and camphor contribute to antispasmodic and antimicrobial actions through modulation of smooth muscle calcium channels and disruption of microbial membranes. Flavonoids provide antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, while trace artemisinin may offer mild antimalarial activity, though levels are insufficient for therapeutic use.
