The flowers make good fluff for moxibustion though.

Didn't mention that earlier, but it's mugwort that used in Moxibustion.....heating up parts of the body to 'channel' healing.

Shouldn't it be called 'mugsibustion' then?

Leaving Harry Potter aside, I believe it is very good against round and flat worms, hence its usual name of wormwood. And that property was used to advertise the health benefits of... Absinth of course

One is Artemis vulgaris (Mugwort), the other is Artemis absinthium (Wormwood). They are, apparently, different, but I shan’t become smug ‘cos I googled it.

Is there an English website for proletariats?

I don't think I've ever had the real deal but I've had the cheap Spanish "ethanol and green" stuff and it's a bit of an experience in itself.

Thing is that I know of mugwort tincture for irregular periods.
I'm told it's also used as a laxative though......

Clearing worms and a laxative. It’s got mug written all over it.
