It's invasive and toxic. If I had an animal which could even
potentially snip a bit and chew, I'd eliminate it from my garden.

Mugwort
Bitter tonic, stimulant, nervine tonic, emmenagogue, laxative,
diaphoretic
Mugwort can be used wherever a digestive stimulant is called for. It
will aid the digestion through the bitter stimulation of the juices
whilst also providing a carminative oil. It has a mildly nervine action
in aiding depression and easing tension, which appears to be due to the
volatile oil, so it is essential that this is not lost in preparation.
Mugwort may also be used as an emmenagogue in the aiding of normal
menstrual flow.
Combinations : May be used widely where a bitter action is needed.
Dosage:
Infusion: pour a cup of boiling water onto 1-2 teaspoonfuls of the dried
herb and leave to infuse for 10-15 minutes in a covered container. This
should be drunk three times a day. Mugwort is used as a flavoring in a
number of aperitif drinks.
Tinctu take l-4ml of the tincture three times a day.
