Mugwort is a natural mosquito and insect repellent.

How to Use Mugwort as a Repellent

• Crush the Leaves:

  The simplest method is to crush fresh leaves in your hands and rub them on your exposed skin and clothing. This releases the essential oils directly onto the surface.

• Hang Dried Bunches:

  Hanging bundles of dried mugwort in doorways, windows, or on a porch is a traditional way to discourage insects from entering a space.

Garden Companion Planting

Plant mugwort around the perimeter of your garden.

• Use: Acts as a natural barrier against pests.

• Caution: Mugwort can be invasive and may inhibit nearby plant growth, so give it space.
