Mugwort is a native spring plant which has been used as herbal medicine for thousands of years.
It warms the meridians and relieves menstrual problems due to cold such as irregular periods and cramps.
Also, its unique fragrance improves Qi flow and helps calm your spirit.
We have a traditional dessert called "Yomogi Mochi" (or "Kusa mochi") which is a mugwort rice cake with sweet adzuki bean paste inside and you see it at local supermarkets in Japan. This is one of my favorite sweets. 

However, please remember that It's related to ragweed and may cause allergies to those who are allergic to ragweed.
