Sometimes you learn about an herb that sounds like it came straight out of a fantastical realm of a best selling novel. That’s how some people feel about mugwort. Perhaps this is because it sounds like something a hermit brewed into a tea to remedy to broken spirit of a hobbit. In reality, mugwort has powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, and over 75 unique plant compounds that work to support digestion, relaxation, healthy skin, and calm nerves.

What Is Mugwort?

Also known as wild wormwood, mugwort belongs to the daisy family and is native to Europe and Asia. While it is related to ragweed and allergic reactions mimic those caused by ragweed, it is most definitely not ragweed. The use of mugwort dates back to the days of Ancient Greece, when women used it to reduce menopausal symptoms, to help menopause, childbirth, or to help regulate menstruation.

Historical Use

For centuries, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) used mugwort in a procedure known as moxibustion, which worked to reverse a fetus in the breech position. The healers rolled mugwort into sticks, ignited the herb, and waved it over specific acupuncture points to stimulate blood and energy that aided fetal movement. One recent study found that 75% of 130 fetuses reversed their breech position after mothers received moxibustion treatment.

Health Benefits Of Mugwort

Insect Repellent

Have you ever heard of companion planting? It’s where you plant two plants together so they can be companions for life. That’s 100% inaccurate, folks. In reality, companion planting is the practice of grouping different plants together, and some of those plants control pests. Mugwort is excellent at repelling insects from your garden. Because it can spread rapidly, you need to control it and use it in moderation. If you don’t, it can take over your other plants and cause them to die.

For Menstruation

Women have used mugwort as a uterine tonic for thousands of years. In order to maintain optimal uterine health, the female reproductive system requires proper circulation. Impaired circulation to the pelvic region can cause irregular periods or poor uterine health. When the uterus receives sufficient blood circulation, a woman experiences her monthly cycle without any troubles. If you need help stimulating your monthly menses, consult your primary health care provider about experimenting with mugwort. Make sure that you are not pregnant when you decide to take this herb because it is powerful and can lead to miscarriages when ingested.

For Digestion

Mugwort is a choleretic, which is a substance that increases the volume of bile secretion from the liver. This benefits both the processing of toxins in the liver and the digestive tract’s ability to eliminate said toxins from the body. Think about the notion that we are what we eat. Take it a step further by adapting the motto, “We are what we digest.” Our focus should be to eat things that the body can easily digest, but we don’t always do this. The more bile the liver secretes, the easier it is for the body to digest fats. Additionally, bile is a natural laxative that promotes a healthier, cleaner digestive tract.

Are There Side Effects To Taking Mugwort?

Mugwort can cause allergic reactions, including sneezing, sinus congestion, or other types of contact dermatitis (such as rashes). Please check if you are allergic to mugwort prior to experimenting with this herb. Mugwort is available as a dietary supplement in the United States, but homeopaths also have mugwort preparations. People who are allergic to peaches, apples, carrots, sunflowers, and celery should avoid mugwort.

People who live the nightlife age prematurely. Human beings are not nocturnal by nature. People require sleep at night, usually from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m.

The exception is the unique souls called “Quaquaversals,” the highly creative individuals of society, those who usually have highly active Fifth chakras (usually your singers, orators, etc.).

Quaquaverals tend to rebel against authority. They don’t take authority as truth, but take truth as authority. They are non-conformists and original thinkers. They are highly creative and are up during the times of night the Unilinears sleep. They are most creative during these late hours and thus are an exception to the rule that humans should be sleep during the nighttime. Quaquaversals can work better at night when the Unilinears are asleep, because in the daytime, so much Unilinear activity tends to hamper the Quaquaversal’s productivity.

Sleep serves a very valuable purpose. It is when the imprisoned soul is released from the prison of the body or flesh. The soul gets to travel to the dream world and astral levels and meet with the souls of other individuals. Some people believe that the soul can travel to different realms, including the Akashic Records (Book of Life), and obtain necessary answers to perplexing questions asked on the physical realm.

Sleep refreshes the mind. It allows the necessary answers to life’s perplexing questions to be attained. Sleep is the equivalent of hitting your computer’s “refresh” button or “rebooting” your computer. With sleep, you are refreshing and rebooting your physical body.

Sleep lets us to take a break from certain activities, like eating food. People are habitual eaters today. Many people who have difficulty sleeping eat while they’re up during late hours of the night. Eating helps to pass the time or to counteract their boredom.

Our bodies secrete a beneficial anti-aging hormone called melatonin at night. Melatonin is secreted from the Pineal Gland, the gland that corresponds to the Sixth and Seventh chakras, our psychic and spiritual centers respectively.

Melatonin causes drowsiness. After the sun sets, the Pineal Gland begins to secrete melatonin and the melatonin makes us drowsy so that we can fall asleep.

Meat, dairy products, and refined starches all break down into caustic and corrosive acids that calcify the Pineal Gland. When the Pineal Gland becomes calcified, melatonin cannot be secreted into the bloodstream, nor can serotonin.

Low serotonin levels may account for why there is so much depression in Westerners today, especially in the United States during the winter season when there is shortened daylight hours.

Seasonal depression due to lack of sunlight can be greatly helped with the use of full spectrum lighting (full spectrum light bulbs) which are available at health food stores like Whole Foods Market and health companies such as Gaia.Com. These bulbs are ideal as they mimic natural sunlight that have all seven spectrums of color, unlike the common two spectrum white frosted light bulbs most people use.

If you are up late at night, you should only be engaged in higher chakra pursuits, i.e. meditation, prayer, channeling, yoga, writing from higher creative expression, etc., things that are very common practice for the Quaquaversals.

However, instead of sleeping, Unilinears are out at nightclubs, dancing and drinking, even having one night stands. Unilinears are also out at the movies, watching the late show that usually starts around 12 midnight or later. Unilinears are people who embrace the slogan “Thank God it’s Friday.”

Lack of Sleep Causes Premature Aging

During sleep, the body repairs itself and heals. If you do not sleep at night, you are not healing and your body is not repairing itself. Engaging in late-night activities-whether for work or socially-ages you prematurely.

Remember, sleep allows the body to heal and repair itself, it allows the soul to travel freely to different realms or densities, and because melatonin is secreted in abundance at night, sleep also helps us to have a youthful appearance.

Natural Healing Solutions

If you have to work the nightshift, make sure you get good sleep when you come home. Make sure your room remains dark during daytime. When your biorhythm is off, your Pineal Gland will secrete melatonin. You don’t necessarily have to quit your job; just make necessary changes.

Herbs of Valerian Root, Jatamansi, Kava Kava, and Lavender Flower are excellent nighttime aids to help you get to sleep.

Essential oil of Mugwort stimulates the Pineal Gland. However, this oil is harmful to pregnant women and should be avoided during pregnancy. Other good essential oils include Pine, Spruce, Clary Sage, and Nutmeg. Frankincense and Myrrh also help to stimulate the Pineal Gland.

Crystals are probably the best things to use to stimulate the Pineal Gland. While lying flat, you can place the crystal on your lower forward, between your two physical eyes. The Pineal Gland is considered our Third Eye.

Great crystals to use on the Pineal Gland (or Third Eye) include: Pietersite, Ruby, Sodalite, Moonstone, Charoite, Moldavite (Meteorite/Tektite), Peacock Ore, Magnetite, and Clear Quartz. All dark blue, purple, indigo, and violet stones will actually stimulate the Pineal Gland.

Magnets can also be placed over the Pineal Gland for stimulation purposes. Just make sure to have the stimulating side of the magnet over the Pineal Gland, not the healing side. Magnets usually have a little indentation on them denoting what side goes against the body. You would use the opposite side for purposes of stimulating the Pineal Gland.

Gold (as well as Pyrite Gold or Fool’s Gold) also stimulates the Pineal Gland and can be used over it just like magnets.

The Pineal Gland is a very important gland in the human body. It is the gland whereby the soul leaves the body during sleep, astral projection, and death. No gland in the body is more active at death than the Pineal Gland.

The Pineal Gland affects consciousness. We cannot become conscious without a healthy and well-functioning Pineal Gland.

Concurring with metaphysicists Rev. Phil Valentine (University of Kemetian Sciences) and Dr. Delbert Blair (The Meta Center), the female menstrual cycle is normal, but not natural.

As the human body has the innate capabilities to adapt to pathologies, irregularities, and abnormalities, the female body has adapted to the pathology of menstruation and now uses this process as a cleansing method to rid the female body of toxins and waste. The female body has taken that which is unnatural (to bleed and lose the vital life essence) and converted that process into a normal female body function. Because of the menstrual cycle, women now have an additional eliminative channel in the vagina, bringing their total to six major eliminative channels (colon, lungs, kidneys, liver, skin, and uterus).

It is because of this sixth eliminative channel that rids the female body of unnecessary waste and toxins that women generally outlive men by seven years.

Why is menstruation considered unnatural?

Menstruation is considered unnatural because it violates the Law of Reciprocity. In Nature, when a thing is taken, it is also replaced. When you take a watermelon, there are seeds in the watermelon so the watermelon can come back many times over. Nature always gives back. Now with the menstrual cycle, in the blood (menstruum) is not only toxins, but also nutrients. With the menstrual cycle, necessary and essential nutrients (minerals) are lost by the body but not replaced. This activity leads to deficiency and deficiency of nutrients leads to diseases. It’s the same thing with male ejaculation. With every ejaculation nutrients are lost along with the ejaculate. This too is why many consider ejaculating other than for purposes of impregnation unnatural.

Menstruation is considered a disease because it is not natural to Nature. It is rare to find a mammal that lives and eats according to the laws of Nature to have a menstrual cycle. Have you ever witnessed a female horse, gorilla, elephant, buffalo, monkey, hippopotamus, giraffe, zebra, rhinoceros, or cow having a menstrual discharge? Don’t you think corporate and greedy man would have devised feminine pads and tampons for these animals to prevent the spilling and dropping of excessively large amounts of blood?

Man created pads and tampons for career females so that the menstrual cycle would not interfere with daily business activity. Originally, during the cycle time, women abstained from work and other daily functions. This break time due to menstruation was anywhere from 1-3 days at the most. Women broke from the world or society because during the menses women/females became very receptive to psychic phenomena, became very intuitive, which allowed them to pick up information from the cosmos or the ethers which they could use for the mundane world.

Menstruation Side Effects

For a human being to lose its vital life essence monthly is not a natural occurrence. Blood exiting out of the body is not a natural thing. If a man goes to urinate and sees blood in his urine, he first screams in fear and then goes to the emergency room at the local hospital to see the doctor.

Now if the blood which carries these minerals throughout the body is being eliminated out of the body for the sake of ridding the female body of toxins and waste (which the colon and kidneys could easily perform), then the organs that need and depend on these vital elements are not going to get them and the result is going to be lack of optimal health.

PMS

PMS is associated with mood swings, irritability of nerves, gas (flatulence), abdominal cramps, headaches, body spasms, short term memory loss, etc. With blood saturated in the vaginal area during the menses and exiting via the vagina, the brain is not going to get the minerals carbon, copper, calcium and potassium it requires. With blood leaving the body during the menses, the nerves are not going to get its needed amount of potassium for proper nerve transmission. The thyroid gland (a major factor in weight gain and loss) is not going to get the necessary amount of iodine it needs to regulate body weight. And with a major loss of iron, a trace element, anemia is going to undoubtedly occur and cause a host of ill-effects such as dizziness, weakness, nausea, fatigue, frigidity, and brittle fingernails.

During the menstrual cycle, the female body is going to saturate the blood supply in the vaginal area to help with the menstrual cycle, and as a result, necessary minerals will not be transported in the amount needed by the other body organs and members. These minerals that are lodged in the vaginal area during the menstruation will come out in bulk in the “white” stage (leukorrheac discharge). Yes, that white discharge commonly referred to as “leucorrhea,” is full of nutrition (that nutrition which did not make the grade doing the menstrual cycle). The white discharge is considered healthy or normal due to its high mineral content and non-smelly or foul odor, whereas and in contrast to an irritating, pruritic, copious, foul-smelling green or yellow discharge, which indicates vaginal or uterine infection or other pathogenic conditions of gynecologic origin.

So PMS is due to a mineral deficiency. Medical logic suggests that PMS can be corrected by counteracting mineral deficiency by giving the body more minerals before, during, and after the menstrual cycle. The best source of these minerals is raw, organic foods (fruits and vegetables) and herbs.

Pregnancy and Menstruation

If menstruation is necessary and natural, and serves to expel or eliminate toxins from the female body on a monthly basis, why then does the menstrual cycle stop or go away during pregnancy?

Does an unhealthy woman automatically become because of pregnancy? Of course not. So why does the menses halt? The answer lies in the fact of the body’s intelligence knowing that a new life is forming in the flesh and that the body will need extra nutrition for the building blocks of the new life.

So what about the process of eliminating toxins? How does the female body throw off toxins during pregnancy? The female body will utilize the first trimester (or first three months) to eliminate toxins from the mother host body via “morning sickness.”

Natural sources rich in “iron” include: yellow dock root, burdock root, dandelion root, elderberries, red raspberry leaf, devil’s claw, rooibos, and mullein leaf.

Natural remedies to counteract breast soreness and tenderness during the menstrual cycle include: (oils) [internally and externally] evening primrose oil, borage oil, black currant oil; (externally – massaged into breasts) olive oil, coconut oil, shea butter, sweet almond oil, avocado oil, grapefruit seed oil, rose hip seed oil; (essential oils that can be added to breast massage oil) fennel seed oil, clary sage, grapefruit peel oil, and rosemary; (herbs) saw palmetto berries, honeysuckle flower, red raspberry leaf, red clover tops, yew tips, poke root, wild indigo, and red root. Herbs that counteract eclampsia during pregnancy include: white peony bark, deer tongue herb, milk thistle seeds, dandelion root, burdock root, carbon (activated charcoal), uva ursi, grapevine leaf, and Oregon grape.

Herbs to coagulate the blood and stop excessive bleeding include: goldenseal, cranesbill (alum root), dragon’s blood, manjistha, musta, shepherd’s purse, lady’s mantle, yarrow, cayenne, Solomon’s seal, barberry, and heal-all herb.

Dietary Intervention

Green vegetables such as parsley, greens, chives, and spinach are also great sources of iron.

To replenish the body of the necessary nutrients (minerals), consume herbs such as alfalfa, sheep sorrel, suma, rooisbos, rose hips, watercress, parsley leaf, moringa or karela seed, barley grass, wheat grass, nettle leaf, moringa, and spinach leaf. These herbs individually provide almost every mineral the body needs and if consumed together will provide a full spectrum of every mineral and nutrient required to maintain and sustain optimal health and well-being.

Also, consume sea weeds (algae) such as kelp, dulse, spirulina, chlorella, Irish Moss, bladderwrack, Blue-Green Algae, Iceland Moss, and red marine algae. Sea weeds are the best and most nutritious foods you can eat, and provide your body with everything you need (oxygen, minerals, protein, etc.) and are an excellent source of organic “iodine” (thyroid gland food).

Herbs to regulate and normalize the menstrual cycle and flow include: maca, black cohosh, blue cohosh, dong quai, mugwort, red raspberry leaf, wild yam root (best and highest source of natural progesterone), squawvine, false unicorn, chaste tree berries, lycii fruit, red clover tops (best and highest source of natural estrogen), licorice root, sarsaparilla, and angelica.

Herbs that help soothe the nerves during the menstrual cycle include: nerve root or lady’s slipper, kava kava, jatamansi, valerian root, lavender flower, passionflower, hops, skullcap, chamomile, and linden flower.

Herbs that counteract menstrual cramping and spasms include: beth or birth root, cramp bark, fennel seed, anise seed, and wild yam root. Herbs that counteract menstrual related pain and headaches include: white willow bark, black willow bark, feverfew, meadowsweet, birch bark, wood betony, wild lettuce, peppermint, wintergreen, and woodruff.

Herbs that give energy for fatigue during the menstrual cycle include: ginseng (all species), ashwagandha, schizandra berries, jiwanti, yerba mate, green tea, suma, codonopsis bark, kola or bissey nut, and guarana seed.

Herbs that counteract constipation during the menstrual cycle include: senna leaves and pods, cascara sagrada, buckthorn, aloe vera resin, rhubarb root, jalap root, bibitaki, mandrake, black walnut hulls, poke root, slippery elm bark, Irish moss, guar gum, acacia gum, and psyllium Husks.

Herbs that strengthen the uterus during the menstrual cycle include: ashoka, squawvine, false unicorn, pumpkin seed, cocculus root, and saw palmetto.

Herbs for mental stimulation during the menstrual cycle include: gotu kola, gingko biloba, bringraj, ashwagandha, ginseng, holy or blessed thistle, kola or bissey nut, yerba mate, and guarana seed.

The female menstruation itself is not dirty. A woman/female is not dirty at any time of her existence. She is not impure because of her blood. Menstrual blood, especially in modern woman/female, is only unhealthy due to what she eats, thinks, and feel and allows to come inside of her from a male (be it his penis or his inventions, such as condoms, intrauterine devices, tampons, etc.).
