Deeply in love with mugwort forever ✨ Coming back from the city one morning after staying an uncomfortable night with a stranger, I was met by a trainstation edged with mugwort taller than me. It reminded me of who I am, what I want, and that I am protected when I tend the garden of my being.
Mugworth is one of the first plant that "talked" to me, she was calling me strongly, and when I press her little flowers, this sent was bringing me back to some really ancient memories. I sleep every nigt with a little bag of mugwort under my pillow, and every year I grow more of them in my garden, I fell she is such a precious ally, like if all my grandmothers and ancestors linage are with me, protecting my house, my land and the sacred space of my work with women. She is definitly one of my fav! bless you for teaching her numerous benefits and medicines! Tlazokamati Omateotl
Wow! Mugwort was my first plant to guide me into the plant path - always took it via tincture but I’ve recently gotten into smoke medicine with mugwort. I can’t believe how incredible she is at clearing my spaces! Thanks for showing how to make a mugwort stick for burning! ❤
I love Mugwort so much, I have a big gallon infusing in Sunflower oil that I just put up with spring tips! I love oiling my body, I find it really helps for body aches, and makes my mind feel gentle.
Interesting we just come sunflower oil for our annual batch of ritual salve. Sunflowers are the river as a flower, and mugwort is hidden healing fresh waters as an herb- it all makes perfect sense!
I absolutely love this video As a witch myself, I use mugwort regularly in my practice for purposes of flying and dream enhancement, banishing storm clouds and negative entities or energies, not to mention it's psionic tuning abilities, even as amazing manifesting psychokinesis. It is most definitely the Witch's herb! ❤️
@@KanyesBigEgo Hey, I use mugwort in different ways, I've not so much used it in dream pillows or in mojo bags but I have spent the better part of 9 years honing my skills for flying potions. I use the witch's herb in incense form or in extract form. Thus, I have not only been experiencing astral projection, frequently, but also other types of abilities. This being phenomenon such as clairvoyance, clairsentience, claircognizance, heightened empathy, and most recently I have been in pleasant communication with my grandfather who passed around just over five years ago, despite him not condoning any of my witchcraft, he seems more excited than anything to see me each time. Perhaps more impressively, to me at least, is that with regular enough use, it actually brings out all of a psychic or witch's talents, whatever they may be. Even full on psychokinetic effects, such as weather manipulation, telekinesis, and also quite recently a weird apportation experience. Other stuff too but that's my personal skills which I do not wish to share. On the spell casting side, I use it to banish evil spirits or entities, banishing storm clouds too, protection, and invocation of our Dark Mother, now commonly known as Hecate. It can be used to also sleep up the effects of spells and help to manifest them quicker. Also, quite obviously, spells of psychic ability, divination, astral projection and protection, especially during travel. Using mugwort also causes women's menstrual cycles to align with the moon. On the body, it's wonderful for healing scrapes, cuts and bruises. Blessed Be
@@darrienjenkinsdj Just absolute perfect timing for you to ask this question. I'm shaking up some Mugwort Potions as I'm typing this reply. The trick to hedge-riding with mugwort is to use it in multiple ways around the same time frame. I like to use mugwort infused vinegar and firewater, as well as brewing it into a tea and also use it as an incense. It can also be smoked, too, yes, and can be turned into an unguent. It's a wonderful method to shamanic voyaging, and it amplifies a witch or psychic's abilities. The reason I'm making some now is for a friend who's magic had gone rusty due to a lack of practice, and she asked me to help her kick-start it back up again. When she's done with these rituals, her power will be stronger than it was before. Once you fly on mugwort, it automatically starts to open up all your talents.
This is my first video on this channel. I'm very happy I found it. I love how Rio Cosmico opens with a note on stewardship and has empowering messages at the end regarding the use of this herb to induce menstruation. I look forward to seeing more of their videos!
I just found you, searching for info about mugwort. I feel like I "leveled up" while watching your video! I have been growing wild herbs and flowers for 40 years, and this was just what I need for more inspiration, so Bless You and thanks ❤
Thank you! A couple questions came to mind: 1) do you wash/rinse your leaves before drying or using? 2) after chewing leaves, do you spit them out or swallow them? 3) what type of string do you wrap the leaves with for burning?
I have always known of this plant but have rarely practiced with it. I feel called to do so now after a few instances of weird dreams whose energies have lingered. Thank you for sharing this medicine and for talking about dreams! It’s coming at such the right time for me 🙏🏼
I couldn’t possibly pick a favorite way to work with mugwort! Burning, smoking, or chewing for sure I’d love to make a dream pillow. This was so informative, thank you!
Artemisia was one of my first true plant companions and the first medicine I made was smudge bundles to share with all the people that came to my right of passage ceremony. Loved hearing you speak of one of my favorite plant companions. Blessings Yaya and gratitude for the wisdom you bring to the people🌎 🌍🌏
I've heard of smoking Mugwort for enhancing Lucid Dreaming, but I do not inhale smoked things ... at least not in that way. However, I do use incense and Sage for smudging. I had no idea one could use Mugwort for cleansing this way. Now, I can see myself using it, and breathing some of the smoke.
Awesome. Not being a big smoker, i notice how indigenous folks who work with herbal smoke also do not always inhale. Smoke has so many beneficial properties besides aiding rapid absorption into the bloodstream!
I enjoyed this--thank you! I already have a mugwort dream bag but I think I'll add more ingredients, as you mentioned. I was surprised you didn't mention mugwort tea, which I drink quite a bit for opening up my intuition.
Thank you! For all my years of working with mugwort, drinking mugwort tea is actually a fairly new addition to my practice. I started out really drawn to strong preparations like decoctions and tinctures of herbs, and over the years find that when plants are prepared as even a very mild tea, they can reveal a completely different side of their personality~Blessings!
I've been wanting to try mugwort for years now but as I live in a tropical climate I haven't been able to grow my own. So interesting to learn that both mugwort and ayahuasca can teach you about other plant allies medicinal properties! Thank you so much for another wonderfully educational and fun video Yaya. Looking forward to meeting with mugwort when the time is right, perhaps through this magical giveaway hehe 🙏🏼🍃✨️☁️🧙♀️
Hello~yes, I think it's so funny the way science can not figure out how without microscopes or diagnostic technology, our ancestors still learned complex properties, constituents, and relationships with plants. Yes there was trial and error, and watching animals, and then there was ceremonial, intuitive, and shamanic conversations with the spirits of the plants themselves!
I have a giant mugwart that lives right outside my bedroom window. I never new what it was until recently, but I felt compelled to not mow it down when I mowed the lawn.
I’m so delighted this popped up in my feed right now. I noticed mugwort growing under my porch and I knew it had some medicine for me. Now I have a better understanding of how! I’ve had many dreams lately of people from my past. I’m going to go harvest some now, thank you 🙏
Thank you. I learned about mugwort last year. Told my physiatrist she didn't like that I stopped taking antidepressants.I have a lot of mugwort here in Sacramento California to give away for money or drugs.
Yes, psychiatrists are trained to mediate with prescription medication and restricted by their certification from acknowledging certain natural/ herbal approaches. I have found that naturopathic doctors often receive training in both western and wholistic approaches and can be a better fit for *some* as guides for helping us transition safely from a prescription to an herbal or nutrition based plan for managing our mental health~ blessings on that exploration!
i told my doctor many years ago that i will stop taking the anti-depressants he gave me , he said" you cant do that" - i said "really, watch me"...............the docs feel that they have the authority becuase they wear that sill white coat and have all these silly letters after their names - but we know those letter dont mean anything..................
The Great Mystery is always perfect! I came across with your video on instagram, and I was totally hung up on it! Came running here to listen more about mugwort. And I say it’s perfect, ‘cause I’ve just arrived in the US, missing my herbs in Brazil, but I was eager to connect with the medicinal plants here to start a proper work with them. So happy to be presented to mugwort. Thank you!
Thanks Yaya! this was a wonderful video, I love all those practices but will have to try the vinegar. Mugwort is abundant in my garden as well and my favorite is just to go lay a blanket beside a patch and admire it's leaves and unique aroma!
Thank you so much for all this information about mugwort. A friend gave me a few branches 10 days ago. They've been drying in a bag since then while I was wondering what I was going to do with them. You gave me a few ideas. Thank you! 🙏💚
I’ve been having the wildest and almost traumatic dreams during the night recently, i wake up feeling drained and it follows me throughout the day. I have to try mugwort! I’ve never used it before and i think it’s pretty awesome that it’s used by wise women and druids especially because most of the time i play a Druid during dungeon and dragon campaigns :)
I've been hearing about mugwort for about a year now, but I've never tried it or known where to get a hold of it. Thank you for making the video and explaining it's uses. I hope to get some soon and see where it helps me 🙂
Wow I love this video! I’ve heard of mugwort referred to as motherwort and have heard that this herb is very supportive but didn’t know much more. I’ve never worked with it before but I’m very interested in working with it to clear and protect my space!
Thanks for sharing your story here and apologies for the late reply. (Or maybe just in time as we are once again stacking firewood here!) I hope to hear more stories of how displaced people who evolved in different climates adjust, as there is emotional as well as physiological reasons for our systems response to this unfamiliar weather!
Awesome, thanks for validating this practice. I love cannabis while wishing everyone knew that there are so many plants available for helping us be well, that can be enjoyed in conjunction with or instead of cannabis depending on our wants and needs!
I did this this evening for good dreams! Bad dreams from recent rulings in the news is heavy on me. I'm anxious with anger, but it doesn't feel like mine alone though. I enjoyed this. Thank you 🔮🌿💚🌿🔮
Same! I’ve never seen someone talk about culture-robbery with such humor and calmness. It gave me a good chuckle and didn’t ruin the mood like that topic usually does.
My first intro to mugwort was 쑥, or Artemesia princeps, made into a delicious Korean rice cake. I love to see the cultural crossovers in traditional wild foods (like how my grandpa grew up eating acorn mush in the Sierra Nevada foothills and my mom acorn jelly in Korea). Mugwort was my first plant ally, the first one to become a familiar, and the first plant I made an herbal oil from. In past years I have made a body oil of Artemesia vulgaris and found it to offer relief and comfort during menstruation, especially applied to lower belly (womb), but this is my own experience. My grandparents‘ neglected garden grows into a mugwort patch in the summer (to their dismay, but my joy). If I am visiting during that time I might cut them back for drying bundles :)
I too am endlessly delighted to find those living in harmony with the earth receiving similar instructions all over the world. For example I currently live in Kumeyaay land where Acorn is also a primary source of nutrition, and my Irish ancestors also worked with Acorn as a strength giving food and medicine...Thanks for watching and engaging!
Wow so many useful tips, I’m definitely excited to try the apple cider vinegar tip. I just have to get comfortable telling the difference between the two plants
I love your message and illuminating ideas; 🌠🌿I had no idea it was a witches / Druid herb. Makes a lot of sense. I love using mugwort in herbal smoke blends, dream sachets, and as a tea rinse. As an ally for subconscious journeying. Xoxo
It's something I have always been really passionate about, the ways that different cultural context exists around medicinal plants, and the relationship between those stories and culture specific practices and the potency of the plants!
Thank you for this video, Yaya. I have been growing mugwort for about a year and didn’t realize she had cleansing smoke, so I will be making a wand soon to try this out. So far, mainly I have enjoyed tasting one leaf at a time for some bitter medicine, either before a meal or as the desire strikes.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge on this plant! You inspired me to try to grow mugwort again - the lemon balm and calendula I planted last year outcompeted it but mugwort seems like a plant ally you want to have around :)
@trakehner20 It depends on the climate for sure. Here in California, I usually find Mugwort growing near creeks and streams in otherwise hot dry climates. When I grew Artemesia Vulgaris in my garden by the beach, she did great until a 2 week long winter rainstorm, after which she was black and moldy and had to be removed.
I've been consuming mugwort for years in many ways. My most common is adding dried mugwort into coffee grounds. I do it to increase creativity, enhance my Adderall & marijuana use.
hello Thankyou for the wonderful videos I'm new to herbs an i have the most beautiful mugwort in my garden i harvested on the full moon what i wish to know the flowers are still buds its not flowered as yet can i use them once dried or fresh for tea? for sage? for smoking? for oil? i have also left some mugwort so i can experience it in full bloom the flowers once the flowers open how can i use these? Thankyou x
Thank you for this video - I’m really trying to learn about the beautiful and powerful herbs of Czech Republic where I’m from and mugwort is something we have a lot of. I am grateful you mentioned it can bring on a period as I work as a doula and wouldn’t want to recommend it if it’s potentially unsafe.
where can i buy some of the mugwort deglousiana or whatever it is called.....i do have some common mugwort already in my kitchen.............thankyou in advance
Thank you for your video.. I really need help... I don't know how I can get my hands on some of that beautiful Herb ... because I live in the city, but I need help to remember my dreams, it's very, very important... how would I go about getting myself the Herb and then drying it, Or already dried out ...and smoking it or what other way to do it to remember my dreams ...most importantly though my question is... how can I get it... do you have any advice , please, and thank you in advance . blessings❤
Is it common to find a field of mugwort along a stream? I can identify common mugwort accurately and I’m almost certain there’s about a football field of mugwort by the creek I always hike to. I find it funny I was asking the universe to help me dream and I stumbled upon a field of it…. Is that normal?
I heard that mugwort is related to the ragweed family, which I’m *very* allergic to. Have you heard the same, and if true, can you recommend any alternative herbs that fulfill many of the same uses as mugwort (like protection and sweet dreams. I use lavender and chamomile for sleep, for example)?
Yes, this is true. I had ragweed allergies as a child and do not react to Mugwort, and am not a doctor, but advise using caution and try burning a little bit of mugwort outside and smelling the smoke at first. If there is no allergic reaction, progressing to making a tea made from the leaves steeped for just 3 minutes at first, ( maybe with some Benadryl on hand!) and just see for yourself if Mugwort is a good ally for you or not. Sweetgrass can help with the kind of energy where you are noticing having looping repetitive negative self talk kinds of thoughts or being too hard on yourself as a result of interference from unfriendly energies.
Occasionally. We don't grow though, so our wildcrafting is on a micro-harvest scale. You can sign up for our newsletter to learn when our small batches go on sale by clicking this link and scrolling the the bottom of the page: www.riocosmico.org/pages/all-courses-new
Because the western medical industrial complex has an astonishingly small amount of data on women's health compared to the data on mens health, and women suffer enormously for this oversite!
One of my first herbal allies and after yrs of trying she's finally prolific in my little garden. This was really well done and you have an excellent way of communicating. Green Blessings to you 💜🍃💜
Many thanks for your encouragement, having plenty of mugwort around is unique form of abundance, so happy to hear you are getting to enjoy her blessings up close!
Thank you for this very informative Video! I didn’t know that vinegar erodes the metal jars and that the Druid’s used the herbs aswell. It’s always good to promote the local herbs and collect plants yourself instead of exploiting other regions in big scale… Greetings🌱
I love to use mugwort for a dream charm, when i’m developing herbal formulas for my clients and I feel stuck, going back and forth between one or two herbs. It’s always good to sleep on it & without fail I dream about the right choice for that client. such a helpful herbal ally 🌱
Thank you for sharing and congratulations! It sounds like you have developed a really loving and supportive trusting relationship with a powerful and wise green friend!
I make very detailed, large smudge sticks with a multitude of herbs and mugwort recently appeared in my garden. I was told it was invasive and to pull it out, but I didn’t because I feel like if something like that happens, there’s a reason . So I’ve been utilizing it myself (smoking a little bit before bed puts me instantly to sleep, however, I’ve had to have dreams that are unusual or especially lucid… YET. it feels a lot like cannabis without the weird loops of thoughts and paranoia that I tend to get just the body relaxation and very sleepy. I haven’t tried doing this during the day) as well as putting it in my smudges. But I would like thoughts on white sage and the whole cultural appropriation thing. I have a sage garden I live in Ohio, but I’m growing a multitude of different kinds of salvia, and I planted white sage. It’s not going to live through the winter so I’m going to utilize it in smudges and herbal candles that I make …but I feel like it should be OK for me to do that since I grew it and didn’t buy it online or steal it from the desert. Some people say that even calling them, “smudge sticks” is wrong, but it is always white people that say that which is ironic to me. I feel like in these days we are a blend of so many different cultures and ethnicities …that unless you’re doing some thing that is making fun of a different culture, utilizing and enjoying something as long as you’re not taking it away from the people who originally used it, should be OK. I look at it as “Cultural appreciation”.
Thank you so much for this beautiful, ancestral, warm, and loving channel ❤️🙏🏾 I have an inquiry - I am currently experiencing a long bleeding in my menstrual cycle, 12 days now. I’ve always had a regular period. Do you think mugwort would be helpful? I’ve seen several things saying it could be, but you mentioned, I believe, that it could have the adverse effect instead?
It's good to be reminded to return to work with the plants I already have on hand! Number two was especially helpful as I've been in a strange space with movement practices and body work. This lit me right up to hear about chewing before a meditation. I will explore this! Thank you ~
As I was watching this video, I had a very potent experience of smelling a huge whiff of Mugwort! Transmission received, I think I might try my hand at growing this mystical being. Also I'm amazed at how many herbal allies there are for space clearing and would love to make a wand! I'm curious to see if there is any Mugwort growing around in my, will be on the lookout
Deeply in love with mugwort forever ✨
Coming back from the city one morning after staying an uncomfortable night with a stranger, I was met by a trainstation edged with mugwort taller than me. It reminded me of who I am, what I want, and that I am protected when I tend the garden of my being.

We use it as a "strewing herb" as a natural insect repellent
Great suggestion, thanks for taking the time to add that tip here for others exploring the many blessings mugwort can bestow!
I usually find plants that repel physical bugs also repel "spiritual bugs" or "negative energies"
Yoga also does this...
I have always known of this plant but have rarely practiced with it. I feel called to do so now after a few instances of weird dreams whose energies have lingered. Thank you for sharing this medicine and for talking about dreams! It’s coming at such the right time for me 🙏🏼

I’d love to make a dream pillow.

I did this this evening for good dreams! Bad dreams from recent rulings in the news is heavy on me. I'm anxious with anger, but it doesn't feel like mine alone though.
I enjoyed this. Thank you 🔮🌿💚🌿🔮
Thank you for the reminder to reconnect with this grandmother. I’m not getting enough rem sleep so I wonder if she will help
I love your sarcasm 😂
Same! I’ve never seen someone talk about culture-robbery with such humor and calmness. It gave me a good chuckle and didn’t ruin the mood like that topic usually does.
Yessss! I give those funnels as gifts! Easily one of my favorite tools 😁✌🏼
You sound like a very good witch!
Lol. The way you chomped that leaf tho lol
xoxo
I'm excited to have found your channel
Hope you enjoy!
My first intro to mugwort was 쑥, or Artemesia princeps, made into a delicious Korean rice cake. I love to see the cultural crossovers in traditional wild foods (like how my grandpa grew up eating acorn mush in the Sierra Nevada foothills and my mom acorn jelly in Korea).
Mugwort was my first plant ally, the first one to become a familiar, and the first plant I made an herbal oil from. In past years I have made a body oil of Artemesia vulgaris and found it to offer relief and comfort during menstruation, especially applied to lower belly (womb), but this is my own experience.
My grandparents‘ neglected garden grows into a mugwort patch in the summer (to their dismay, but my joy). If I am visiting during that time I might cut them back for drying bundles :)
I too am endlessly delighted to find those living in harmony with the earth receiving similar instructions all over the world. For example I currently live in Kumeyaay land where Acorn is also a primary source of nutrition, and my Irish ancestors also worked with Acorn as a strength giving food and medicine...Thanks for watching and engaging!
Wow so many useful tips, I’m definitely excited to try the apple cider vinegar tip. I just have to get comfortable telling the difference between the two plants
Thank for this information. I am going to drink my mugwort tea. I also will start growing it. Thank you.
Yes to tea! I kept saying to myself "what about drinking it as tea?" I love it that way
I love your message and illuminating ideas; 🌠🌿I had no idea it was a witches / Druid herb. Makes a lot of sense. I love using mugwort in herbal smoke blends, dream sachets, and as a tea rinse. As an ally for subconscious journeying. Xoxo
It's something I have always been really passionate about, the ways that different cultural context exists around medicinal plants, and the relationship between those stories and culture specific practices and the potency of the plants!
Love this, I have been looking to regulate my periods as I'm perimenopauseal Thankyou for the video, I have now subscribed xx
Thank you for this video, Yaya. I have been growing mugwort for about a year and didn’t realize she had cleansing smoke, so I will be making a wand soon to try this out. So far, mainly I have enjoyed tasting one leaf at a time for some bitter medicine, either before a meal or as the desire strikes.
Wow just gonna assume it's gender like that?!
you know the stuff, thanks for letting me know the stuff.
TY. I just made a fermented plant juice for fertilizing my garden using mugwort and brown sugar. Think I’ll “fertilize” myself with it too.
I have been wanting to try mugwort!
I love this video! Thank you for sharing sister ❤️
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge on this plant! You inspired me to try to grow mugwort again - the lemon balm and calendula I planted last year outcompeted it but mugwort seems like a plant ally you want to have around :)
Hmmm...I want to grow it too, but how hard is it to grow? I have lots of vacant land for it. lol
@@Trakehner20 it grows very fast and easily with full sun - it is considered a weed where I am (CT) and will overtake anything
@@pollykor Hmm. Might have to try it. At least its useful ifit grows a lot! Unlike the weeds where I'm at, no use at all!
@trakehner20 It depends on the climate for sure. Here in California, I usually find Mugwort growing near creeks and streams in otherwise hot dry climates. When I grew Artemesia Vulgaris in my garden by the beach, she did great until a 2 week long winter rainstorm, after which she was black and moldy and had to be removed.
@cosmic child I agree she is worth cultivating if you can!
That you for sharing this beautiful video
Thanks for watching!
I've been consuming mugwort for years in many ways. My most common is adding dried mugwort into coffee grounds.
I do it to increase creativity, enhance my Adderall & marijuana use.
Great stuff!!
Beautiful.
Thank you for sharing!
Enjoyed the video. Thanks for the blessing also 🙏 😊
Thank you!
So cool!!! Have been thinking alot about mugwort latley and this plopped down in my life at the perfect time!
Awesome, we love hearing confirmation of all the synchronicity guiding us home!

Thankyou x
Thank you SO much for this Yaya!
Your welcome, I hope you have a lot of fun exploring with Mugwort in the coming season!
Thank you for this video - I’m really trying to learn about the beautiful and powerful herbs of Czech Republic where I’m from and mugwort is something we have a lot of. I am grateful you mentioned it can bring on a period as I work as a doula and wouldn’t want to recommend it if it’s potentially unsafe.
You sold me before you got to minute 2...😂
blessings
Thank you.
You're welcome!
Do tinctures make mugwort more powerful because of the alcohol extracting more of it?
Where can I buy it?
This is a gift from God. Please use it to guide yourself closer to our Lord and savior Jesus Christ
where can i buy some of the mugwort deglousiana or whatever it is called.....i do have some common mugwort already in my kitchen.............thankyou in advance
Thank you for your video.. I really need help... I don't know how I can get my hands on some of that beautiful Herb ... because I live in the city, but I need help to remember my dreams, it's very, very important... how would I go about getting myself the Herb and then drying it, Or already dried out ...and smoking it or what other way to do it to remember my dreams ...most importantly though my question is... how can I get it... do you have any advice , please, and thank you in advance . blessings❤
Order it online. Do your own research
Have no fear, mugwort is easy to acquire! I love the mugwort from oshalafarm.com but you can order bags of mugwort tea on amazon easily as well!
OH my goodness, I just have to ask you where you got your shirt, I love it! GOrgeous! Brand name, or where you got it would be great! Thanks!
It's actually a whole linnen jumpsuit, like a grown-up, breathable version of those Dickies mechanic's coveralls, from a company called Mate!
@@riocosmico Oh, awesome, I'll have to check them out! Thank you! Its so cute on you!
Great tea to have before bed.
Your website is saying "this connection is not private" and is warning me that it is potentially hacked?
Thank you, I will check into that! We switched from riocosmico.com to riocosmico.org and maybe that is related!
no mugwort tea?
Yes mugwort tea! Just not actually my go-to : )

Is it common to find a field of mugwort along a stream? I can identify common mugwort accurately and I’m almost certain there’s about a football field of mugwort by the creek I always hike to. I find it funny I was asking the universe to help me dream and I stumbled upon a field of it…. Is that normal?
Yes
I heard that mugwort is related to the ragweed family, which I’m *very* allergic to. Have you heard the same, and if true, can you recommend any alternative herbs that fulfill many of the same uses as mugwort (like protection and sweet dreams. I use lavender and chamomile for sleep, for example)?
Yes, this is true. I had ragweed allergies as a child and do not react to Mugwort, and am not a doctor, but advise using caution and try burning a little bit of mugwort outside and smelling the smoke at first. If there is no allergic reaction, progressing to making a tea made from the leaves steeped for just 3 minutes at first, ( maybe with some Benadryl on hand!) and just see for yourself if Mugwort is a good ally for you or not. Sweetgrass can help with the kind of energy where you are noticing having looping repetitive negative self talk kinds of thoughts or being too hard on yourself as a result of interference from unfriendly energies.
Yeah... This thing isn't endangered by me!
Hi thank you so much for sharing your knowledge 🙏❤️ Do you sell Mugwort loose leaf for smoking?
Occasionally. We don't grow though, so our wildcrafting is on a micro-harvest scale. You can sign up for our newsletter to learn when our small batches go on sale by clicking this link and scrolling the the bottom of the page: www.riocosmico.org/pages/all-courses-new
An omenogauge? How do you spell that?😂
But why snap on guys like that tho 😂
Because the western medical industrial complex has an astonishingly small amount of data on women's health compared to the data on mens health, and women suffer enormously for this oversite!
Where can I get the Mugwort
My favorite source if you are unable to forage ind weeds to forage is oshalafarm.com !
Sm call it the wise-man herb ...some call it The gypsy witches herb hhh mstly females for last call hh !
lol pretentious bs
For those of us who are trying to take notes, you speak way too fast.
And even faster in person! I find pressing pause a very useful feature of video learning, hope that helps!
I have found mugwort everywhere after watching this video. I am four months postpartum in New Mexico and I just started getting my dreams back.
One of my first herbal allies and after yrs of trying she's finally prolific in my little garden. This was really well done
and you have an excellent way of communicating. Green Blessings to you 💜🍃💜
Many thanks for your encouragement, having plenty of mugwort around is unique form of abundance, so happy to hear you are getting to enjoy her blessings up close!
I need those shelves for my mason jars
Already signed up and can’t wait to learn more from the upcoming course 💟
Thank you for this very informative Video! I didn’t know that vinegar erodes the metal jars and that the Druid’s used the herbs aswell. It’s always good to promote the local herbs and collect plants yourself instead of exploiting other regions in big scale…
Greetings🌱
I love to use mugwort for a dream charm, when i’m developing herbal formulas for my clients and I feel stuck, going back and forth between one or two herbs. It’s always good to sleep on it & without fail I dream about the right choice for that client. such a helpful herbal ally 🌱
Thank you for sharing and congratulations! It sounds like you have developed a really loving and supportive trusting relationship with a powerful and wise green friend!
I make very detailed, large smudge sticks with a multitude of herbs and mugwort recently appeared in my garden. I was told it was invasive and to pull it out, but I didn’t because I feel like if something like that happens, there’s a reason .
So I’ve been utilizing it myself (smoking a little bit before bed puts me instantly to sleep, however, I’ve had to have dreams that are unusual or especially lucid… YET. it feels a lot like cannabis without the weird loops of thoughts and paranoia that I tend to get just the body relaxation and very sleepy. I haven’t tried doing this during the day)
as well as putting it in my smudges.
But I would like thoughts on white sage and the whole cultural appropriation thing. I have a sage garden I live in Ohio, but I’m growing a multitude of different kinds of salvia, and I planted white sage. It’s not going to live through the winter so I’m going to utilize it in smudges and herbal candles that I make …but I feel like it should be OK for me to do that since I grew it and didn’t buy it online or steal it from the desert.
Some people say that even calling them, “smudge sticks” is wrong, but it is always white people that say that which is ironic to me.
I feel like in these days we are a blend of so many different cultures and ethnicities …that unless you’re doing some thing that is making fun of a different culture, utilizing and enjoying something as long as you’re not taking it away from the people who originally used it, should be OK. I look at it as “Cultural appreciation”.
Thank you. I made my first mugwort tincture today. Do the leaves have to be dried to smoke?
Thank you so much for this beautiful, ancestral, warm, and loving channel ❤️🙏🏾 I have an inquiry - I am currently experiencing a long bleeding in my menstrual cycle, 12 days now. I’ve always had a regular period. Do you think mugwort would be helpful? I’ve seen several things saying it could be, but you mentioned, I believe, that it could have the adverse effect instead?
It's good to be reminded to return to work with the plants I already have on hand! Number two was especially helpful as I've been in a strange space with movement practices and body work. This lit me right up to hear about chewing before a meditation. I will explore this! Thank you ~
Is it best to harvest just before the flowers open? That is what I have heard, your opinions please… ???
As I was watching this video, I had a very potent experience of smelling a huge whiff of Mugwort! Transmission received, I think I might try my hand at growing this mystical being. Also I'm amazed at how many herbal allies there are for space clearing and would love to make a wand! I'm curious to see if there is any Mugwort growing around in my, will be on the lookout
