Mugwort Spagyric Tincture

from $39.95

Spagyric tinctures are prepared through an alchemical process that honours the full anatomy of the plant: the spirit, soul, and body. The volatile oils (soul), water & alcohol-soluble components (spirit), and purified mineral salts (body) are individually separated, refined, and then intentionally reunited. The result is a living preparation, not merely an extract, that carries the full life-force and signature intelligence of the plant in an exceptionally bioavailable form.

All of our herbal extracts use organically grown and/or ethically wildcrafted herbs and certified organic food-grade ethanol diluted to specific potencies in filtered and/or distilled rainwater, unless otherwise specified.

Mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris), a member of the Asteraceae family, grows across temperate regions worldwide. Traditionally harvested just before flowering, it has been used in Western, Chinese, Japanese, and Indigenous herbal systems for its warming, circulatory, nervine and emmenagogic influences. Its bitter-aromatic profile supports digestion, liver function, menstrual regularity and autonomic balance. While best known for its historic role in dream and visionary work, Mugwort is equally a practical herb for the modern nervous system — especially where tension, coldness, dysregulation, or menstrual stagnation are present.

In Western herbalism, Mugwort is valued as an aromatic bitter, stimulating digestive secretions, bile flow and nutrient assimilation. Its warming nature enhances circulation to the pelvis and lower abdomen, supporting irregular, painful or stagnant menses. As a mild nervine stimulant–relaxant, mugwort gently lifts autonomic tone while dispelling muscular tightness, making it useful where digestion and the nervous system intertwine, tension headaches, nervous dyspepsia, cold extremities, fatigue after stress, and states of emotional flatness.

Traditional East Asian practices, particularly moxa, recognise Mugwort as a plant that restores warmth, nutritional flow and vitality to deeper tissues. Historically, it was also used in Europe for exhaustion, convalescence, digestive weakness, and as a protective household herb.

A large body of folklore frames Mugwort as a guardian of travellers and a companion in times of psychic or emotional strain. While these traditions are not emphasised clinically, they reflect an age-old understanding of Mugwort as a plant that sharpens perception, restores inner orientation, and gently reawakens a person to themselves.

  • Antipathy in Galenic medicine involved using treatments that possessed qualities opposite to those of the humor associated with the disease. For example, if a patient had a condition characterised by excessive heat, such as a fever, Galenic physicians would prescribe remedies with cooling or cold properties to counterbalance the excess heat. Similarly, if a condition was considered excessively moist, treatments with drying or astringent properties would be employed.
