I dream excessively. It has been a major problem since I was a child. I’m now 49. It’s exhausting to dream all of time. Plus I dream in color, and I feel sensations in my dreams. I’ve recently started drinking mugwort tea. To me the taste is fabulous but the best part is that I sleep so soundly. It has really slowed down the dreams although when I do dream, I dream in 4k but finally, I wake up feeling rested. I’m so happy.

[@lemonkid2543]

Any tips on getting vivid dreams i really want them

[@Geisla54]

I love mugwort! She’s a very feminine plant and very ‘talkative’ as far as herbs go, kind of with a ‘best female-friend’ type energy. Also very proud and should be respected, and cared for with an open heart.

[@EvolutionaryHerbalism]

❤❤❤

[@Zepster77]

Your comment has actually been more informative than many (other) videos I’ve seen about this plant. Thank you…

[@Geisla54]

@@Zepster77 oh bless 😊✨

[@krisslumsden6880]

Love Mugwort! I have good success using the essential oil to move stuck energy, like a shoulder pain that won't leave. Mugwort helps to get it moving out. Thanks for this video!

[@EvolutionaryHerbalism]

Thanks for sharing!!💚

[@carolmc760]

Thank you so much for this video. I came here initially to learn about mugworts benefits for the digestive system as I am dealing with some issues. When Whitney started talking about the benefits of womb healing I cried as this is something I have been working on. I planted mugwort from seed 2 years ago not knowing the importance it would have for me. It has grown into a magnificent and beautiful plant obviously trying to get my attention. Thank you again for showing up right on time💚

[@EvolutionaryHerbalism]

Oh wow that's perfect!!❤

[@thatonesnowboarde]

its an MAOI, so it degrades enzymes that degrade DMT, thus keeping more DMT around in the body which is why we dream during REM sleep

[@hamidman6974]

Are you sure it's an MAOI? If so it might have interactions with many herbs/drugs/supplements.

[@Freya-bs5tx]

Just picked some and smoked it. Better than pot. Relaxing and my arthritis didn't bother me as bad. My dreams are frigging great. Also hang near doors and windows it will repel flies and mosquitoes.

[@spilledit]

Just the leaves? Do I dry the leaves or the flower?

[@MrsPoison489]

Mugwort volunteered in my garden this year. So happy to learn more about it.

[@EvolutionaryHerbalism]

It's wonderful💚

Awesome! Thank you!💚

[@MrFufumann]

I've been taking mugwort regularly for several years as part of a herbal mix that I vape. One thing I've observed is that its anti-mosquito effect could be stronger than usually assumed (compared to Artemisia Annua) if you take it that way. I've now had entire years/summers without a single mosquito bite and I have also been to a malaria infested part in Africa and I didn't get the illness whereas my partner did. Could be a coincidence, but it seems that the artemisinin and other compounds accumulate in your body when consumed that way and act as repellent. I also like to burn it, it smells like cannabis when burnt and has a relaxing effect.

[@valeriekaye3354]

I have been growing mugwort in my yard for many years. She is my dearest . She loves to travel

[@valeriekaye3354]

And loves to dream. Such a comfort.

I grow mugwort in containers in my garden. I am a reiki practitioner with Celtic heritage. I love mugwort and use mine to make area cleansing wands, flower essences, anointing oils and tinctures. I’m 60, and a few months ago I had to have a radical hysterectomy. Though I’ve been menopause a few years, I’m curious if I’ll feel a difference in how Mugs effects me 🤷‍♀️ I have some tinctures in the works. I’ve sold all my essence. I’ll have to wait until I get flowers to make more. Loved this video 💛

[@EvolutionaryHerbalism]

Amazing💚💚💚

The dried leaves are great moth repellents to put in your clothes drawer, and they smell so good

Thanks.

[@EvolutionaryHerbalism]

You're welcome💚

[@inthenebula92]

Wow! This video was great and so informative. I have had an interest with herbalism on and off for years but now I am taking a more serious interest in it. Recently I have gotten back into my spiritual path of practicing witchcraft and paganism. I was coming across rituals with mugwort--I have some I bought from a witch shop years ago, and not knowing much about it, assumed it was an uncommon plant like some other herbs used in the Craft. But then I decided to look into it recently and as soon as I saw pictures I recognized it immediately. What's more is I stepped out of my house later on and realized the front garden of my room rental (which is horribly overgrown) had a huge mugwort plant. It had been right in front of me the whole time! I have been working with plant and tree spirits so I got to know the plant, she is named Wilfred and she's very friendly. I personally wanted to take my time before I harvested but she was very insistent I harvest immediately so I did. I kept getting a message about salve (something I have never made in my life) so I will be using her dried leaves to create a mugwort salve. I was not sure what she had in store for me but watching this video clarified it for me. I have an extensive history of trauma but I also fit the "mugwort person" type you mentioned. I'm very excited to see what happens now!

[@narcissist_abuse_victim]

I tried it for the first time

[@deviroy9527]

Would the topical oil help with pocos pelvic pain?

[@elliottjames671]

If you ever played harvest moon mugwort is dope.

[@aleje5761]

😄That's cool. I played one of the generations of harvest moon lol. I didn't know they had mugwort in it. That or i didnt realize mugwort was in harvest moon. Good to know though. It was cool to have video games that used herbs,and stones in their 🎮 definitely was helpful

[@Theherbalempress]

I forgot they had that in there! One of my favorite childhood games ♥️

[@superhoover-]

You mentioned all continent except Africa, and its very popular to North African people especially in the Sahara region.

Thank you for sharing🌿💚🌿

You are welcome, in Arabic its called "الشيح" which you can spell "Chih"

[@erikdouglass1085]

I read about the essential oil (preparing through a spagyric process) containing thujone. Is this a concern, and how might it be minimalized if so? Thanks for all the great videos!

[@rachelstark2391]

What does Mugwort smell like?

[@YouNolf]

Should I buy an extract of this? Of which kind of Artemisia? Vulgaris? How much potent, and how much dose?

[@EvolutionaryHerbalism]

Yep, it's Artemisia Vulgaris❤ It really depends. Here's a link to our shop: naturasophiaspagyrics.com/products/mugwort-artemesia-douglasii-spagyric-tincture?_pos=2&_sid=1ca7ce8d7&_ss=r

[@Infinity777z]

Good vid as always

[@EvolutionaryHerbalism]

Thank you so much!💚

[@digitalphanes206]

im having the tea for the first time and its not bitter at all... it has a nice very light herbal flavor... could it be because it is spring and the plant is very young? its a small patch only about 8 inches tall... does it have more effect on dreaming when its bitter?

[@digitalphanes206]

by the way, im in europe so its vulgaris

[@cesarm2837]

I'm just recently getting into these herbs Mugwort and Wormwood. If I drop them into my tea through tincture form will I still get the effects? Mostly i am hoping they will help with my dreams

[@EvolutionaryHerbalism]

Yep, you can add them to tea for sure!💚

Hi thanks for this informative video. So for women who have been in menopause, will it get bleeding again? I wish to use its essential oil for cleansing the etheric body from ''evil'' parasites, but fear this menses thing. Can you help me please?
