CAIGGLUQ- ARCTIC WORMWOOD

(Artemisia artica)

 

The people of Hooper Bay use a Yup'ik Eskimo medicine plant called "Caiggluq". This medicine is strong and works on people who used it to cure or heal sickness in just a few days_. When the medicine is boiled and cooled it becomes dark just like tea.

Cecilia Olson, who has 7 children,says this plant really worked while they used it to heal their pains. Here is how she uses "caiggluq". She says they drink the dark liquid or rub it on the part of the body that is paining them. She doesn't know when the Yup'ik people started using it,but she said that maybe their ancestors used it a very long time ago.
