i love mugwort. I used to suffer from horrific nightmares. there wasn't a pharmaceutical that helped. One day, I put mugwort in my room, no nightmares. it's been five years. Mugwort grows in my yard now and I dry it near my bed. I still dream vividly, but fear has been removed. Mugwort is a beautiful guardian. Every one should have mugwort hanging round. thanks for vids.

Mugwort is a household must in Hunan, China where I grew up. The herb brings a lot of nostalgic memories from my childhood. On the third day of March on lunar calendar, my mom always cook hard boiled eggs with fresh mugwort leaves as breakfast; the hard boiled eggs tastes light yet uplifting herbal scent, soup looks a bit golden and tastes fresh. then she would put the mugwort bundles on our front door to keep the bugs and mosquitos away since the weathers starts to get warm and tends to attract more insects. We also like to add mugwort leaves to the hot water to soak feet at night before going to bed. The bottom of the feet contains a lot of channels in the acupuncture, we believe the healthy properties of the herb can soothe you in a holistic way.

[@mstorandelli]

@@heidipucci9078 The effect is very subtle. It's one of those things that gets blown out of proportion. Thujone (the active ingredient in absinthe) is related to THC, but much milder. I have a cup of tea almost every night simply because I like the bitterness of it. I use 1tsp wormwood, 1tsp black tea (Assam) 1/2 tsp hibiscus, maybe a pinch of elder flowers and a lot of honey. I like it mostly for my digestion. There's no real appreciable "effect" anymore than chamomile. I've had 2 kids that went through their teens. I wish you the best of luck. ;)

[@TarotMuriel]

@@mstorandelliVulgaris has Thujone as well or only Wormwood?

[@sabineroach5486]

I grew up in 50s/60s Germany and Mugwort (Beifuß in German, literally "next to your foot" meaning always keep it close)) was always used with very fatty meat like goose and duck. The fat being very nutritious but difficult to digest for some people, this was vital. It was also used dried in infusions. I've used it like that for decades here where I live in England. I've invoked it ( as you rightly say) to appear in my garden, as I do with many wild herbs. It works if you are connected to plants. I have been all my life. And btw: the "wort" in the English name of certain herbs probably comes from the German (Saxon root) "Wert" meaning value. "Wertvoll" in German is "full of value" which says everything. Mugwort and lemon balm tea, yes, here these two thrive in my garden and are used together. Learning to connect to plants, communicating with them is true magic, the kind that gets better and more powerful with experience and time. Being neary 75, I can vouch for that😊🧙‍♀️

How many tablespoons of dried mugwort should be used for tea?

[@KittenBowl1]

Hi I’m Japanese, we use this in cuisine from Tempura to desert to snacks. I also use this to put in soap as I make soap from scratch (oils and lye). If you want to use the fresh one, boil it first then mix into Mochi to bread to anything you want. You can also dry them and grind them to make powder. You can put it in Mochi to bread to biscuits for green color and nice flavor. It has subtle bitterness that enhances bland things. Fry the fresh one in batter (tempura) and delicious with other fried vegetables. And yeah we call it Yomogi as he and few others pointed out.

Mugwort, is a plant mainly found in the hills in the British Isle. With angular, purple stalks grows more than three feet in height. The botanical name is derived from Greek goddess Artemis. Of virginity, animals, hunting and childbirth of the deep forest. That is why it’s more known as a female herb. The Roman soldiers were known to put mugwort in their sandals to keep their feet from getting tired. Shamans and Witches have known to use mugwort with witchcraft and rituals. They believed by rubbing of the leaves on the body are said to keep ghosts away and help protect against the evils of the spirit realms. It is also as the “Sailor Tobacco” for sailors are known to smoke it in sailor’s pipe. Mugwort it known as a dream herb that gives a relaxing euphoria. For people under depression and anxiety it can help get better night sleep. It makes a great tea or can be smoked as well.

I have a yard full of Mugwort; about 4 different patches that are marching towards each other to unite! Mugwort has overtaken the Blackberry brambles, the Mint, and is currently battling the Blossoming Raspberry for reign over the tote road entrance! Last year, I harvested much of what was left at the end of the season, and folded the long stalks into thirds, and wrapped them into small log shapes about 5-6 inches wide and 12-16 inches in length. Used as fire starters, they burn hot and fast! The bare stalks I have left over from wrapping smudge sticks are useful as tinder for fire making. The summer of 2019, I made a mugwort smudge stick from several 15'-17' tall plants. It was used in a Fire Ceremony, and the brilliant fire it made was a sight to behold!

I was just sharing that that was my discovery and it's something that I learned in the last 11 years when my journey began on this leg of spirit direction. I have lived in a piece of land for 6 years and I saw many regular plant lives that would come and go with the seasons but one year there was this fabulous bush and I thought to myself it couldn't possibly be time I started to learn more about plants but the identification in real life wasn't where my focus was and it still isn't after all these years but I imagine some point I will graduate. I can't remember exactly what it was but I thought isn't that something it's actually a plant medicine I could have benefited from greatly and I found this information as I was moving from the property all I can remember is they were little white star flowers Anyway I would like to plant them intentionally many different medicines and cultivate a relationship with the plants but like you said the birds will bring many seeds and nature herself will respond to the chemicals that we release when we are in need of a specific medicine And then just plants will be available at our fingertips very lovely. If you ask me. No one's ever feel alone understanding how magical life really is

Which I wanted to know which is which. With this video I found out that the estafiate is Mugworth (Artemisia vulgaris, sweet artemisa)The other one called ajenjo.

And always have one by the entry of my house to protect me from evil spirits or people with bad energy.. We have a belief that if the eye starts turning yellow and no matter what we do it dies. Is because she absorbed all the bad energy. Before it gets inside my house. In the other way. I just love to look at them so green and beautifull with this yellow flowers that the bees love.

I just wanna say, as a man, I have high respects for your pride in your passions. Despite the controversy towards being involved with any positive aspects of smokable herbs, you make sure the truth and pride of the plants 🌱 you teach about are respected.

[@Earth.Plant.Protein]

This was one of the first herbal helpers grown for me. It's amazing how you discover new uses for it when you need them. Placing leaves/flowers in kombucha for a 2nd ferment is so enjoyable. Learning all the time. Thanks for this video you invoke excitement when you speak Herbal Jedi. Love it.

[@girlwithplants8330]

I love how you explain the "spiritual" uses of the plant as well. Very informational video.

[@gothboschincarnate3931]

Plants are sometimes spiritual teachers and assistants of a sort.

[@JeffReams]

I'm not sure why the KZbin algorithm recommended this video but I am glad it did and I'm here for the herbal ride along.

[@asiadyer]

It is also great for an astringent, cooling bath in the hot summer. Steep a bunch of it in hot bath water for a bit, like a giant cuppa tea. Put it in a laundry net to keep the water particle-free. Let the water cool a bit if u want or not. Feels great!! I live in Japan where it grows literally everywhere.

[@_lntergalaktikOpereitor_]

Oooh WHAT a BLESSING You !! HaveN'T seen a person that BETTER teaches about a herb !! Everything that comes out of you mouth, comes in an incredible EASY to UNDERSTAND way !! I loooooooved watching you !! Could you, by the way - and please, come up with another video, Teaching us more about both the Edible Artemisia and the Medicinal one ???! Say SO !!!! :j

[@mikecassell8953]

I love your videos for their herbal and botanical content with Pagan overtones. Just one thing, at 4:30 you mentioned that mugwort is in the sage family. Mugwort is actually in the composite family Asteracaea while sage is in the mint family Lamiacaea. I'm not knocking your video though because it's great and it (as well as your other videos) has taught me a lot!

[@Shelli_Love420]

One of my strongest plant allies is mugwort. Specifically my local mugwort: Artemisia douglasiana. She is so great. Thanks for spending her love!

[@marilynroberts6644]

just recently took an herbal class and concentrated on using mugwort, so this was perfect timing for me. a huge thank you along with green blessings..!

[@ahopefulhollar]

I’m planting Mugwart seeds today! Thank you for the very helpful information! Bless you!

[@germ4bass]

just wanted to say thank you for your videos I I learn a lot from them and you are the most chilled guy I think I have seen in a long time.

[@iTSY0URb0YEE]

Thank you for taking your time to let us know about this herb.. you're the bomb . Com ! Dreams are beautiful from bad ones to good ones even the weird ones that you just can't make sense of.. I live on the northeast side of usa and as a kid I'd play in fields of this herb.. I'll give it a go.

[@OrthodoxChristian809]

I've planted some in my garden. I love herbs and wild plants, particularly those with medicinal properties.

[@KylieJonkman]

Can also be dried and burnt like sage! Great alternative to use instead of the endangered white sage and palo santo xx

[@tristenhuff2869]

This is definitely my favorite channel I have found on KZbin by far. Your videos are the best I was so stoked when i found your videos thank for your amazing knowledge!! I love mugwort! I make a tincture with it called sweet dreams. I plan to come to that herbal gathering that just happened next year. I look forward to going to that so much!!!

[@peterking5372]

Great video , I am in the South East of the UK 🇬🇧 and this little baby grows wild all around our walled garden such a lovely herb 🌿

[@tricksyweasel6392]

Wow what an incredible video! So informative :) I love a cup of mugwort tea before bed, helps quieten my mind so I can drift off to sleep more easily

[@Onemoarblockplz]

I'm planning on doing a cerimony for spirit people soon on my land, this is absolutely needed knowledge for this trip. No bad vibes, just to focus on channeling the spirits with my hoof rattle and feather bundle.

[@mpaz48mo]

If you are getting into hunting and utilizing what Mother Nature has to offer for health problems or just to add beautiful nutrients to your diet, this man is the person to watch and learn, he along with Adam Haritan, “Learn Your Land”, are hands down the best. I love these guys.

[@newgabe09]

I have mugwort in my garden in tropical northern Australia. It's grown over 2m high shaped like a Christmas tree.. it's sweet to see your lush low plants there

[@andreareischmann3350]

Hi Yarrow, thanks so much for your beautifully filmed & informative videos. I have been using moxibustion regularly for many years as being a naturopath of Chinese Medicine. It mainly increases qi and relaxes muscles and much more....& cleans the energy of the space😆Greetings from Germany 🙏 Andrea

[@TheRainbowFrequency]

I just got mugwort for my garden and then stumbled upon your video! Thank you for sharing this fantastic breadth of knowledge!

[@rakugowaii]

Thanks for talking about mugwort. In Japanese, it’s called “yomogi.” We use mugwort to make “tempura”- the deep fried cuisine as well as making a dessert called, “yomogi-mochi”, which is mugwort leaves are infused into mochi, FYI.

[@WildandGrowing]

That's so interesting! Thank you for sharing.

[@jewelweed6880]

Mugwort mochi. Interesting. I'd try it, but I doubt they sell it at Wegmans.

[@loricochran4692]

Why is info so far? I'm young on a relative's channel, pharma aside, I believe in so called holistic methods of medicine if I'm informed I still use colloidal silver (home made with out parts per million but results in moderation, no ageria for me)in terms of some antibiotics,

[@DatCupcake]

@@loricochran4692 You really shouldn't use colloidal silver at all. Using it in moderation won't stop you from developing argyria: you'll just develop it more slowly. The body has no biological use for silver, so it deposits it in your soft tissue (like your skin, gums, tongue, eyes, ect.) which is what slowly turns people blue. Silver does have some use in the medical field where silver compounds are used in wound dressings, but taken orally it is virtually useless. It was used prior to the development of antibiotics in the 40's due to misconceptions about the causes and treatments of bacterial infections.

[@beneath.the.rosesluciddrea8470]

Whaaaaat. It's in tempura?!

[@pageroks]

I finally started to grow a small patch of mugwort and love it's energy. I use it to smudge, tea, dream pillows, incense and I dedicate it to Holda in offerings. It loves to be used with yarrow.

[@RunninUpThatHillh]

I have been dabbling with herbs for a few years, and mugwort is the only only one I feel deep experience with. I picked a large bouquet one summer (a few times, same area) and walked away with a feeling I can only recall maybe feeling on my wedding day..a euphoric, peaceful, joyous feeling. Sublime. The first time I brought it home, I put it in a vase with water at my bedside. I experienced sleep paralysis that night minus the fear. I awoke again later that night and placed the vase outside, respectfully. The vibe was just too high for me and I wasn't respecting the plant enough, I thought. I've tinctured the flowering tops and found it specifically helped in dream work requiring re-entry to past dreams or some sort of attention to detail. Once I could read the letters inscribed on a small key. (I don't dream in detail normally). I think this plant is good for trauma survivors with the mood it imparts: it makes you feel beautiful when you hold it. I think Matthew Wood said it was good for survivors. I was delighted to hear that after my own experience; mugwort imparts faith in the self. tl;dr ...dream pillows are no joke!😂

[@yvonnegill1292]

I made dream pillows about 30years ago and gave one to someone having nightmares. The nightmares stopped.

[@Star1320Light]

Some American tribes geld their coming of age vision quest partially in order to find the person's plant ally. They found the One (of Many Herbs available) that Called to them & they used that One, eventually, to cure everything. Because throughout their life the mission was to discover How to do so!! I've always found that interesting, and felt like sharing that with you here.

[@devilinav7494]

Mugwort tincture is awesome! I wish I had some now.

[@RunninUpThatHillh]

@@Star1320Light Thank you for saying so! I've always been fascinated by the notion of having only one plant to work with.

[@Jraymiami]

🙏🏻🤗

[@reynaldolucerojr.7743]

We got plenty of mugwort in our yard..and now i know the benefits of it..Thanks my friend and God bless..

[@sashacollins1172]

This is my first video of yours I've watched and I'm hooked!

[@nahannilove]

I am here for all of it,, including the star wars references 🧑🏼‍🎤 especially your sweet passionate sharing.. Thank you

[@mysticrose2766]

I've used Mugwort for years as a tea in the evening before bed. I love the flavor. I didn't know about some of the other uses. Thank you for these videos. So much to learn ! :-)

[@ItsSakuraKei]

Our new adventure is beautifying/healing the land where ever we go. ***~Moves into a new place and checks out yard and finds Mugwort everywhere. ~*** Thank you ♡ Learning about all the things is such an adventure.

[@hadassahdewhitt735]

I love how you give all the details. Something told me I needed mugwort when at the CoOp. Glad I got it because I get stomach pain. I have a diet of no sugar (bite of fruit twice a week) and no yeast, and so I hope I don't have a reaction. Strangely, chamomile gives me migraines, and I find it in teas, creams and lotions, shampoos, etc. A big thank you!

[@greenmama54]

I haven't worked with Mugwort but I have it in abundance. I'll be doing more research and making smudge sticks to start. Thank you.

[@FamilyFreedom]

Thank you very much VERY HELPFUL 🙏

[@boop7313]

I make dream pillows with it and smoky sticks. I just love the smell of it. so strong & vaporous! Great video, thankyou Yarrow

[@SilverDragonCloud64]

Yarrow...I just love your videos, I am learning so much about herbs and how to use them to heal myself. Keep going, you are such a positive contribute to the world community. With gratitute.

[@cordeliastarnes2116]

I love the way you touch and connect with the plants! Keep making videos. They're greatly appreciated! Namaste.

[@dawnparker564]

This was very informative. Although I’m still unsure if the plant that has overcome my garden is mugwort. I’m just now learning that my entire back yard is potentially a giant herb garden. Thank you. Looking forward to learning much more.

[@NoFeeArea]

Just found a patch. Tried the tea and immediately felt calm. Good healthy addition to life. Plus I think I will add it to flavor our chicken/beet/rutabaga/garlic slow cooking. I can taste the connection to that recipe already! Maybe even beer! Cool. Last night I had the tea about an hour before. Really enjoyed the dreams. Very mild but therapeutic.

[@Isaacmantx]

I just want to thank you for how well presented and easy to digest your teaching style is. I love the references to historic ideas behind the use of these plants coupled with the modern understanding of how they truly function. Your channel had not been showing up in my notifications for probably 8-10 months (even though I am subscribed and notifications are set to all). I was reminded of your channel as I was seeking herbal replacements for many of the pharmaceutical drugs whose development I have recently learned don’t align with my moral and religious beliefs. Your content is by far the best filmed, most understandable, and most in depth I have been able to find. Thank you for all the work it takes to share your deep knowledge in this teaching role!

[@michaelarobinson5211]

You exibited such class when talking about the effects of mugwart for menstration. A lot of people sound uncomfortable around such topics but you did great!

[@GeorgeVanAken]

You sir, are a fabulous teacher of botany. I know that the way you present each specimen will surely be fascinating to many newcomers to the world of our important plant friends. I wish more people would study the amazing abundance of useful plants that Mother Nature provides. They’re really all any one of us needs. Subscribed.

[@madamehogan8553]

LOVE LOVE LOVE love love love love... Mugwort is so amazing as incense, tea, dried and hanging in a room, in a dream pillow...

[@koribwrs1961]

Growing up my grandma make a tea for me when I get a flu.... Its amazing

[@wizzord55]

Love your channel. Just catching up on all the ones I missed. Thanks for giving me this opportunity to learn. Blessings 🌲🍀

[@worldpeace666now]

Thank you so much wise Jedi. Very fortunate to have all this lost knowledge , that mother nature has provided !!!

[@TheKingdomsGlory]

Thank you so much for your videos. I now watch at least two or three videos a day for growing my herbal knowledge. Thank you for sharing this incredible resource with us.
