Hi, I'm kinda only starting to get into herbalism so I'm in need of a tip.

I've found some common mugwort and wanted to make an infused oil to later use for a salve. However, I've picked them today (middle of august), so they were already flowering. I know people mostly use the leaves in like mid-spring season when the mugwort has no flowers yet, but can I still use the flowers? And if it's not ideal, how can I use them instead?
