Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1

Chinese mugwort (Artemisia argyi) has a long history of use in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), where it is often employed for its warming, blood-invigorating, and calming properties. In TCM, mugwort is sometimes used to "calm the spirit" and is incorporated into practices such as moxibustion, where dried mugwort is burned near acupuncture points to promote balance and alleviate various ailments. While mugwort is not specifically targeted at "emotional sensitivity" in the modern psychological sense, it has been traditionally used to address symptoms related to anxiety, restlessness, or mood disturbances—conditions that may overlap with emotional sensitivity as understood in contemporary terms. However, there is a lack of robust scientific evidence supporting the efficacy of Chinese mugwort for directly treating or supporting emotional sensitivity. The traditional use is largely based on historical texts and anecdotal reports rather than controlled clinical studies. As such, the evidence supporting its use for emotional sensitivity is minimal and primarily rooted in traditional practice rather than scientific validation.
