Mugwort - Artemisiae vulgaris

Mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris) is a plant in the Asteraceae family and is closely related to wormwood. It is a weakly aromatic plant with deeply incised leaves that are white and felt-like hairy on the underside. The stem can reach a length of approximately 60 to 120 centimeters and often exhibits a reddish discoloration.

Mugwort is common in the Netherlands and Belgium. The plant grows primarily in fallow land, along roads, and on other disturbed soil types. Mugwort thrives best in sandy soils and is known for its strong adaptability.

Historical and Cultural Context

Mugwort has played a role in various cultures since ancient times. For example, historical sources reveal that the Romans placed mugwort in their shoes during long walks. This custom is part of the symbolic and practical applications described in ancient texts.

Mugwort also appears in cultural traditions outside Europe. In Central Mongolia, a local variety, often referred to as Mongolian mugwort, was traditionally used in the landscape. This plant is notable for its bluish, hairy, and succulent leaves and was historically used in local customs in moist grasslands.

Due to its widespread distribution, distinctive appearance, and long history within diverse cultures, mugwort has become a permanent fixture in botanical and ethnographic descriptions.
