Artemisia argyi can be eaten, but it is recommended to be taken orally under the guidance of a doctor.

Can you eat it?

Artemisia argyi can be used as medicine. It is the leaf of Artemisia argyi, a plant of Artemisia genus of Compositae. When used as medicine, it has the effects of warming meridians, stopping bleeding, dispelling cold and relieving pain. However, taking Artemisia argyi orally directly will stimulate the gastrointestinal tract, because the volatile oil in Artemisia argyi has certain toxicity and may cause toxic icteric hepatitis. It is recommended that patients take it under the guidance of a doctor.

Artemisia argyi can also be made into moxa sticks and moxa pillars, and fumigate related acupoints after ignition, which can also achieve the effect of curing diseases and health care.
