Mugwort should not be used alone to treat eczema. Because from the perspective of Chinese medicine, mugwort is pungent and warm in nature, and most eczema is damp-heat or wind-heat and blood-dry in nature. If treated with mugwort, it may aggravate the symptoms of eczema, especially the damp-heat type of eczema. Mugwort can be used in combination with other types of herbs for the treatment of eczema, because it has a certain effect of dispelling wind and relieving itching, and from this point of view, it is helpful for eczema. However, it is not advisable to use mugwort leaves alone, either orally or for external cleansing, and should be used in conjunction with other pungent and cooling herbal remedies.
