Island mugwort

Yomogi, known as the “Queen of Medicinal Herbs,” is full of chlorophyll and has excellent medicinal properties such as blood-smooth blood purification, warming the body, improving sensitivity to cold, discharging waste products, increasing metabolism, and detoxifying effects. Since ancient times, it has been very active as a versatile herb.

In Amami, there is a culture of wrapping rice cakes made with mugwort in shell ginger.

I use the picked mugwort for bath herbs, herb balls and eye masks.
