This particular variety is a significant medicinal herb in China used as a remedy to treat menstrual and liver conditions and is considered to be a bitter tonic. Its anti-tumor and antioxidant activity of its areal parts has been demonstrated in recent research. In addition to its medicinal use, white mugwort makes beautiful cut and dried flower arrangements.
