Mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris) has been used for centuries to help with pregnancy and menstruation-related issues. It is believed to have various health benefits, including pain relief, supporting liver health, easing muscle cramps, and improving digestion. Mugwort may also have antibacterial and antifungal properties.
 
The health benefits of mugwort come from its rich chemical makeup, with essential oils and various natural compounds that include artemisinin and camphor. That said, mugwort supplements may not be right for everyone, especially people who are pregnant or who are allergic to ragweed.
