Descriptions
Artemisia vulgaris (Mugwort or Common Mugwort) is one of several species in the genus Artemisia with names containing mugwort. It is also occasionally known as Felon Herb, St. John's Plant, Chrysanthemum Weed, Wild Wormwood, and Mogusa in Japan. It is native to temperate Europe, Asia and northern Africa, but is also present in North America where it is an invasive weed. It is a very common plant growing on nitrogenous soils, like weedy and uncultivated areas, such as waste places and roadsides. It is a tall herbaceous perennial plant growing 1-2 m (rarely 2.5 m) tall, with a woody root. The leaves are 5-20 cm long, dark green, pinnate, with dense white tomentose hairs on the underside. The erect stem often has a red-purplish tinge. The rather small flowers (5 mm long) are radially symmetrical with many yellow or dark red petals. The narrow and numerous capitula (flower heads) spread out in racemose panicles. It flowers from July to September.

Mugwort is native to Europe and Asia, but is now also found throughout the eastern US. It is rare, however, anywhere in the extreme north and south.
Mugwort sensitisation and allergy has been reported widely. Mugwort pollen is a major cause of asthma, allergic rhinitis, and allergic conjunctivitis. Exposure to Mugwort pollen contributes to the causation or exacerbation of the Oral Allergy Syndrome, eczema, urticaria; and anaphylaxis where pollen has contaminated a food, e.g., honey.
