Korean Mugwort | Dried Injinssuk (Artemisia capillaris) | 3.5 oz
Kosbee Korean Capillary Mugwort is 100% pure dried injinssuk — Artemisia capillaris (인진쑥) — grown in Korea, a distinct species from the common mugwort used for moxa or dreaming, caffeine-free with no additives and naturally high in iron.
Injinssuk brews into a deep, boldly bitter herbal cup, so most people round it out with jujube or honey. Each resealable pouch holds 3.5 oz (100 g).
Injinssuk — capillary mugwort — is a distinct herb long brewed in Korea into a deep, boldly bitter tea, quite different from the common mugwort used elsewhere. Kosbee selects clean Korean-grown injinssuk and dries it with nothing added, for an honest, traditional cup.
Capillary Mugwort, a Different Species
In North America, "mugwort" usually means the common species (Artemisia princeps or vulgaris), sold for moxa or "dream" teas and often imported from China. Kosbee uses Korean Artemisia capillaris — capillary wormwood — a distinct herb with its own bold, bitter character.
It is a Product of Korea with a clear origin, simply dried with nothing added.
An Excellent Source of Iron
Each 1/3 cup (0.35 oz / 10 g) serving naturally provides about 7 mg of iron — that's 39% of the Daily Value, an excellent source of iron, and more than many leafy vegetables. It also has 2.5 g of plant protein and 0 g of sugar or fat.

How to Brew Korean Capillary Mugwort
For tea, rinse 0.35 oz (about 10 g), add to 1.5 to 2 quarts (1.5 to 2 liters) of water, bring to a boil, then simmer on low for 20 to 30 minutes. Injinssuk is strongly bitter, so add jujube or honey to soften it.
For a blend, simmer it with Kosbee hovenia fruit for a deeper, rounder cup.
You can also add the brewed tea to a warm foot bath as a home-spa soak.
How to Enjoy It Safely
Injinssuk is a wormwood-family herb, so use it in moderation and start with a lighter brew if you have a sensitive stomach.
If you are pregnant or nursing, please avoid it or talk to your doctor first.
It is in the daisy family (Asteraceae), so check the label if you are allergic to ragweed or daisies, and talk to your doctor before regular use if you take medication.
