so is Mugwort the same as Common Wormwood or not? Jeroenemans (talk) 12:44, 8 April 2008 (UTC)


 * In general, it usually is the same, but both names are applied to multiple different plants. 67.158.73.220 (talk) 15:19, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

The cultivar info....

The emotional trait "moxy", or rather "moxie"
Present text at the "Herbal Medicine" section:
 * Mugwort is used in the practice of traditional Chinese medicine in a pulverized and aged form called moxa from which we derive the English word "moxy".

I have not found an English word "moxy" in dictionary searches (A, B, C (wikt)).

There is a word "moxie", but it derives from the purported — and extensively advertised — energetic qualities conveyed by the beverage "Moxie", as that linked article explains (and both the Random House and American Heritage Dictionaries concur); and this has nothing to do with "moxa".

So with diff=359043129 I am removing the latter portion of that sentence, beginning with "from which we derive...". — Sizzle Flambé (☎/✍) 11:52, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

Etymology:
I have a tertiary source http://www.mugwortgrove.org/html/3--why_mugwort.htm which reports the etymology of the word derives from the Germanic word "muggio" ie "fly" or "maggot" and the name comes from its usage as insect repellent. However I'm not going to add the info unless I can find the specific reference info for the primary or secondary source. I have a Kindle version of the Oxford Dictionary so if it is in there I may return to add the info.Trilobitealive (talk) 16:15, 17 January 2011 (UTC)

(The link I added today was to a Physics News, a reliable secondary source with included DOI of the primary source regarding mugwort in ancient beer.) Trilobitealive (talk) 16:15, 17 January 2011 (UTC)

Clean up notes
The reader will notice I deleted the three least encyclopedic sections today. This article needs significantly more cleanup, especially in removing its repetitive vague and unreferenced allusions to mysterious defunct usages.Trilobitealive (talk) 03:05, 9 March 2011 (UTC)

some dubious stuff
about moxibustion, and more about Dr. Nabeshima, including irrelevant biographic details. Anyone agree? 78.147.58.68 (talk) 14:07, 3 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Agree. If this is notable it should be put into an article on the subject. Trilobitealive (talk) 01:47, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

confusing things
is there a reason why the word mugwort it linked to this page under uses by Japan? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jjenkins5123 (talk • contribs) 05:08, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

Hopeless confusion about mugwort
Seeking input about what should be done with mugwort and this page. The Asian species A. princeps, A. capillaris, A. argyi and A. asiatica all often go by "mugwort" in English, with no qualifiers (A. princeps is sometimes "Japanese mugwort" but often just "mugwort"). These are all ethnobotanically important species (A. argyi is apparently the original mugwort used in moxibustion). While A. vulgaris is grown in Asia, it's not clear how important it is. A large number of the incoming links to the A. vulgaris article are Japanese, Korean or Chinese topics.

I'm incline to make mugwort an article rather than a redirect (although I suppose it will also serve as a disambig), and move pretty much ALL the material in the current article over there (so much of it does not clearly refer to a single species). This article will be a stub for A. vulgaris, and I'll try to retain any material that clearly refers to A. vulgaris specifically.Plantdrew (talk) 18:02, 9 November 2012 (UTC)

Section discussing Nitrogen
The wiki article mentions that the species prefers low-nitrogen soils and references a source which does not seem to include any information about nitrogen preferences of the plant (only a small statement on a study of effects from magnesium and lime). Perhaps it is meant to reference another source, but I don't think this statement is correct, as from personal experience I found it not just growing but flourishing in a portion of a field where some compost had been dumped years ago. The article does mention that "A. vulgaris primarily infests roadsides, waste areas, abandoned mines, and horticultural nursery fields (Holm et al. 1997; Uva et al. 1997)." These are all environmental settings where higher-than-baseline nitrogen would be expected. 73.17.112.182 (talk) 13:57, 6 December 2023 (UTC)
