The abundant
and expansive lunar qualities of Mugwort make it a plant which is highly favored
for the feminine reproductive system. Mugwort Moon Magic is valued by midwives
who use it to stimulate the uterus at the concluding stages of pregnancy and
throughout the birthing process, as well as to facilitate lactation for the
nursing mother. Mugwort oil is also very helpful for toning and regulating the
reproductive system and enhancing female fertility. Please
note: although Mugwort Moon Magic can be used to prepare for delivery, it should
not be used during pregnancy itself.
Mugwort oil
holds many other qualities which are very salutary for a wide spectrum of general
health needs. In acupuncture, moxa made of Mugwort is applied as a smoke to
meridian areas which need to be brought into greater warmth and expansiveness.
Mugwort oil can provide these same qualities without the invasive use of smoke.
Mugwort Moon Magic should be particularly considered for parts of the body which
are lacking in circulation and appear blue or feel cold.
Mugwort Moon
Magic also balances those who may have too many "summer" forces and are thus
quite psychically expanded and dreamy. Mugwort has the unique capability of
uniting lunar forces with solar forces and thus facilitates the integration
of thoughts with feelings, clarity of psychic impressions and dream recall.
Regular application of Mugwort Moon Magic on the breast and the heart areas
helps to balance and center the three lower "embodiment" chakras, with the three
higher "spiritual" energy centers of the soul.
