Perennial seeds require a wintering period for germination. For autumn sowing, sow in pots, making sure to cover the seeds very lightly, or sow directly in the ground, taking care to protect them with mulch, for example. For spring sowing, place the seeds in a damp substrate in the fridge for a month. Transplant when germination begins.

Used by Amerindians for medicinal and ritual purposes. In high doses, it is toxic. It has multiple properties: tonic, febrifuge, antispasmodic, vermifuge and stomachic. In infusion, it regulates the menstrual cycle during menopause and cures urinary tract infections. Placed in shoes, it is said to reduce fatigue when walking. In Chinese medicine, it is used to make moxas, sticks of dried mugwort that are burned near meridian points to heat them. This principle is an alternative to acupuncture and acupressure.
