Can mugwort be cooked together with mulberry fruit?

Artemisia (mugwort) can generally be cooked together with mulberries. It is recommended to use them appropriately as directed by a physician and consume them in a reasonable amount.

Artemisia is warm in nature and has functions of warming the meridians to dispel cold, promoting blood circulation, and relieving pain. Mulberry is neutral in nature, sweet and sour in taste, and has effects of nourishing yin to enrich blood, moistening the intestines, and promoting bowel movements. When used together, these two ingredients may benefit individuals with cold body constitution and insufficient qi and blood by helping regulate and nourish the body. Particularly in spring, their combined use may aid in expelling cold, keeping warm, and improving blood circulation. Artemisia and mulberry can also be used together to prepare specific medicinal diets or food therapies, such as Artemisia and mulberry porridge, to achieve the purpose of nourishing the liver and kidneys and strengthening the body.

In practical applications, some people also combine Artemisia and mulberries with other ingredients to prepare herbal dishes or food therapies aimed at nourishing the body and regulating qi and blood. For example, one can boil Artemisia and mulberries together and drink the liquid, or stew them with other ingredients to make soups.

When using any medication or food therapy, attention should be paid to moderation to avoid adverse effects caused by excessive use. In daily diets, it is recommended to maintain a balanced dietary structure and diversify food intake to help maintain health.
