Mugworts

(mugwort Artemisia vulgaris L. from invasive.org under creative commons)

   I wanted to do this post because I was going to write a blog article in Native Animals From Alabama about the eastern cottontail. Which is a wild rabbit that is in the southeastern and northeastern parts of the United States. Mugwort was one of the plants envolved underneath the cottontail bunny.
      Wikipedia tells us that this plant is also called these terms:Felon Herb, Chrysanthemum Weed, Wild Wormwood, Old Uncle Henry, Sailor's Tobacco, Naughty Man, Old Man or St. John's Plan(wikipedia)

     The Chinese have used Mugwort in their cuisine. The Iranian, Chinese and Germans use different parts of the plant. The Chinese used the seeds of the plant to season their cuisine. They also smoke the plant to rid pain from the body. The Iranian people also use the seeds to season their food. The Germans use the buds of the flowers and leaves to season their goose on Christmas day. The Europeans and earlier Americans smoked mugwort and put it on their pillows to have vivid dreams. 

     Mystics use the Mugwort to do many things. Much of the stuff above mystics use with their with the things above and for other purposes. If you are interested in Mugwort for further reading, you might want to visit these sites.
