Mugwort Essential Oil 1/16th Oz. (Artemisia vulgaris)
Product Details
Mugwort essential oil boasts a range of potential aromatherapy
benefits. Its herbaceous, slightly Camphoraceous aroma is said to be uplifting
and mood-enhancing. When diffused, mugwort can create a sense of calm and
well-being, potentially easing anxiety, and situational depression. It may also
promote relaxation during meditation by grounding your energy.
For topical application, mugwort oil is traditionally used
diluted in a carrier oil to soothe inflammation and ease pain. However, due to
a compound called thujone, mugwort can be toxic in high concentrations. It's
crucial to consult a qualified aromatherapist before using mugwort topically,
especially if you have any health concerns.
Mugwort's association with vivid dreams makes it a popular
choice for magickal practitioners. A few drops diluted in a carrier oil can be
added to an aromatherapy pillow to promote lucid dreaming and enhance dream
recall. Inhaling Mugwort's vapors during meditation or divination rituals is
also believed to heighten intuition and psychic abilities.
Due to thujone's presence, exercise caution when using mugwort
essential oil. Avoid it altogether if pregnant, breastfeeding, or have
epilepsy. Always dilute it properly and perform a patch test before topical
application.
