Mugwort, also known as Artemisia vulgaris, is a flowering plant that is native to Europe, Asia, and Africa. It can be found growing in fields, along roadsides, and in waste areas. It is a hardy plant that can thrive in poor soil conditions and is often considered a weed.
Mugwort is typically harvested in the summer when it is in full bloom. The leaves, stems, and flowers of the plant are all used for various applications. The plant is often dried and then ground into a powder or used as a dried herb.
In terms of sourcing, mugwort can be found growing wild in many areas, making it easily available for harvesting. It is also cultivated in some regions for commercial production. It is important to ensure that mugwort is harvested from clean and pesticide-free areas to avoid any potential contamination in the final product.
