In Germany and my kitchen we use it when roasting any fatty meats, especially goose, duck and pork. It breaks down the fat and, as you said, makes it more digestible. Also, the gentle psychotropic effect leaves family and guests in a pleasant state. I love the stuff, and learned much from this video. Thank You.

[@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. ;)

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.

[@leegarner4111]

I didn't know this plant existed until a few years ago,it came to me in a dream,now its growing in my garden.

[@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😊🧙‍♀️

[@onemansadrenaline]

Wow this video is flawless. Well done! Mugwort rescued me from 20 years of nightmares I acquired from my activity in the military.

Steep fresh mugwort in vodka for a month or two. Strain it out and there you go

[@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.

[@TashaDivine]

Over here in America we are warned by herbalists not to eat this plant because they say it's harmful to the liver. Clearly your culture has no problem adding it to lots of foods. I wonder if we are being lied to about the safety.

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.

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!😂

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.

[@fattymcbastard6536]

@@katie-lp6ud Okay well, good luck! Be warned you may not sleep so soundly, though. If you've ever experienced sleep paralysis, you ought to avoid this experiment entirely. I've never tried mugwort, but I have been on medication with the side effects of restless sleeps and lucid dreaming. Most of my dreams we're like bizarre horror b-movies, and were just stupid, but at some point during the dream, I'd realize I'm dreaming (because it was just so stupid), and if I couldn't force myself awake, I could rewind the dream, and hit replay, and guide it toward a better version of the story. Only once did I dream something beautiful and psychedelic... but then that was meds and not mugwort. I think the mechanism is the same though. In a dream state without REM, are the lucid dreams you can remember and become aware of, and therefore control. You're almost conscious in that state, and not really getting a proper sleep. All that being said though, I wanna try it too, lol.

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.

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.

[@KylieJonkman]

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

[@greenjay8096]

I live in northern England and mugwort grows around here I've transferred some into my garden too. I use it mainly as incense by crushing and rubbing the dry leaves it becomes like cotton wool, I press this into a cone shape and light the top.

I live in London and I would like to grow mugwort in the garden. I want to use it to make a Teochew dessert. How do I go about finding mugwort seeds?

This is the best video I ever found. Looking for the right name of the plants I have. I am Mexican. And I have been grown a lot of herbs medicinal. Some where given to me and they gave me the name in Spanish and I just couldnt find the real name, since I have 3 types that people keep saying they are artemisa, ajenjo, estafiate. 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. I think is Artemisia absinthum (bitter artemisa) ant the other one called altamisa. Not sure. But looks like is a feverfew. Thank you I love your videos. I do believe plants have a spiritual protection. I have prove that. I have a lot of Rue (ruda) In my garden. 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. Some people dont like the strong smell of thw leaves. I love it .

[@teperikaetr]

I meant plant start turning yellow. Not eyes.

you have such a good vibe man, thanks you for all the info !

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

Really enjoy learning more about these plants!!!!

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.

[@RicaRoseHopeful_Voluntarist]

Thanks Yarrow, I am looking forward to growing this herb next spring! I can't find any out in the wild around my neck of the woods.

I have just found your channel and I'm simply smitten! The way you deliver information is eloquent and easy to understand. I can really follow along, and I feel as though I'm retaining the info. (With dyslexia that's a challenge) I'm so thankful I found your channel. I aspire to be a herbalist, for spiritual and ecological reasons. I love your work, thank you so very much for all that you do.

[@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

[@kayo5291]

My mind is blown. Mugwort is so invasive in my garden, I can't pull it out before it starts sprouting up again. Plus you can't get the roots out, it's like a cult under the soil, all holding hands and refusing to let go. I haven't been able to plant my garden in three years because of this stuff. I associate it with being sweaty, dirty, sore, and frustrated, so seeing someone love on it so hard is a real stunner. lol I guess I'll try eating, drinking, and burning it, and give up on the tomatoes? Ladybugs do seem to like it. Thanks for an eye-opening video!

[@whendis.roberts9903]

You can till the ground and put down some new soil or maybe plant your Garden somewhere else in your yard

[@sueclifewithexpression]

What a cool video. Always love your insights! Thank you for the work you do. I'm utilizing your videos to help teach my children in homeschool this year. Sending you love, from our family to yours. Cheers! 😄

[@bluetigerlozano59]

Thank you for that! I must remember that. I have 4 types of artemisia growing in our small apartment patio- Artemisia arborescens absinthium (powis castle), artemisia vulgaris (common mugwort), Artemisia vulgaris (argyi), and ‘estafiate’ (artemisia ludoviciana mex.), but didn’t realize it helps with bad dreams, nightmares or anxiety. I will try that and bring some Into my room! 👍❤️

[@thewelshhedgewitch755]

I adore Mugwort! I can't believe plant power is so ignored by the majority of people these days - I'm so used to weird looks when I gather mugwort in my local park in the summer!

Great video! They call the mugwort made snack called “Kusa mochi”(mixed with rice forming a nature rich sweet snack) here in Japan. And it’s called Yomogi or ヨモギ in Japanese.

I love using Mugwort in beer in place of hops! But my favorite herb for beer is Heather. I wonder if you could do a video on the uses of Heather, and the natural fungi which grows on wild heather which is said to have contributed to its healing power in scotch Heather-Ale?

Thanks for all this amazing knowledge & big ups on the great video production. One thing- Mugwort and Sage are not in the same family. There is Sagebrush which is also an Artemesia but is not the typical smudging white sage (Salvia apiana) that you referred to. It's in the mint family (Lamiaceae). I have a feeling you know this, but just to clarify for others. Keep the vids coming, many thanks!

[@meganpreston8515]

Despite this comment being 3 years old, I am grateful for it. I was looking for someone to have made this clarification before I stepped in now in 2023. Other than this misunderstanding/ confusion, this video is beautiful. It is clear he has a relationship with the herbs.

[@colemarie9262]

I have to admit that I assumed this would be mostly new age filler without much real information, like so much on KZbin - And I have to apologize! You give a solid botanical and historical background as well as the expected content.

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 🌿

I LOVE this video! Thanks so much! I work in the spiritual community and I’m trying to find locally sourced means for smudge because I USED to sell Palo santo but after hearing about how it can be sourced and how limited the process is that it’s not something I want to be a part of buying so this would be perfect

I grow a small pot of mugwort and as it is getting too tall for my tiny balcony, I cut the top and stir fried it with eggs for breakfast this morning. The taste is hard to describe but I like its aroma in my mouth. Nice medicinal plant. Funny that I bumped into this video today as well. So I subscribed. Ahh... guess I’m connected with mugwort ;)

Awesome video Thank You Dearly. I Live in sweden and i have seen this plant many times and now i will definately pick and dry this one. Awesome info my man thank you. I was guided by my spirit guides to pick Rhododendron tomentosum. they told me it was heart opening and ohh man it was when i used it as a tea, i use only very little because it has a strong flavor. The leafs of this plants was used here in sweden hundreds of years ago instead of Hops for brewing Ale. It is the whiteflower i was guided to pick. Have a Lovely Day.

It is also a uterine tonic and can bring on or speed up menstrual bleeding or help to expel what hasn't came out after a miscarriage, it was also used for abortions.
