Mugwort Bar gets its name and color from ground mugwort and olive leaf: both known to invigorate circulation and warm the body. Coriander and sage essential oils linger on the skin with a verdant and clean aroma. This bar is gentle but rejuvenating; herbaceous and dewy.

The herb Artemisia vulgaris (Ai Ye), is a powerful but invasive weed, which grows in many climates, including NYC. In Chinese Medicine it is used commonly to treat a variety of issues, including eczema and inflammation of the skin, among many other internal ailments. Mugwort has a long history of use in folk medicine as well. It is believed that the Romans planted mugwort by roadsides to make it available to travelers to put in their shoes to relieve aching feet and protect them from exhaustion. Maybe this is because of its ability to enhance the movement of qi and blood. It can also be made into a tea or simply placed under the pillow to enhance lucid dreaming.
