A folk etymology, based on coincidental sounds, derives mugwort from the word "mug"; more certainly, it has been used in flavoring drinks at least since the early Iron Age.

[9] This evidence in considered to be of the "moderate" level of certainty by a 2023 Cochrane Systematic Review, however, the safety profile was not clear in these studies as adverse effects were not well considered or properly reported. [9] In addition, the need or role of turning the baby by performing an external cephalic version to prevent a breech birth along with these treatments is not known. [9] There is no evidence that moxibustion, when combined with standard care practices, helps reduce the risk of a person requiring a caesarean section. [9] It is also not clear if there are any benefits for preventing early membrane ruptures or a protective effect on the umbilical cord blood pH level.
