Also (usually with distinguishing word): any of several other plants of the genus Artemisia. Cf. mugweed n. 1.An important magical and medicinal plant in early times. It is the first herb to be named in the Old English Nine Herbs Charm (see quot. OE1) where its powers are highly praised. In medieval times it was often made into garlands and hung in houses to ward off evil spirits. Among its chief medicinal uses was the treatment of menstrual disorders (hence its alternative post-classical Latin name mater herbarum); an infusion of the herb was also widely used as a tonic.
