The Dream Herb:
Mugwort has produced, by far, some of my most fascinating dreaming and lucid dreaming experiences of my entire life. So, for anyone else that might be looking to pull more from their dreams, I want to share what I’ve learned over the years as I’ve researched and experimented with this herb for dream enhancement because the results for me have truly been amazing.
First off, what is Mugwort?
Mugwort, also known as artemesia annua, is one of the most mysterious herbs in the botanical world because of its seemingy supernatural properties. But it’s also sweet to the taste, which makes it a wonderful tea sip down when you’re winding down for the day.
The history of Mugwort weaves through the realm of the mystical but has also proven its versatile benefits for human health in general, such as its capacity to aid digestion, reduce anxiety, and promote relaxation. Way back in the day, Roman soldiers would actually place Mugwort below their feet before walking long distances. This prevented their feet from getting tired and kept them feeling fresh. Popularly too, John the Baptist is believed to have worn Mugwort on his girdle while traveling in the
wilderness. Why John would do this? – I have no idea. But does it make Mugwort even more cool? – absolutely.
Dreams
and Lucid Dreaming:
Perhaps the most interesting property of Mugwort is its affect on the dreaming mind. Dreaming can often reach incredible heights if Mugwort is taken shortly before bed. Were you to do a quick Google search on this unique herb, its likely you’d come across all kinds of interesting stories, relating bizarre dreaming experiences that people
report after having consumed Mugwort.
Lucid dreaming, improved dream recall, and enhanced dream creativity are just a few of its known side effects but I’m going to share with you a very simple and effective way to get the most out of your Mugwort experience. Like I mentioned earlier, some
of my most fascinating dreaming experiences have taken place after ingesting this herb.
When to take it and how much?
You can drink Mugwort as a tea, or you can now purchase it in capsule form.
Either way, it’s usually best to consume it about 30 – 60 minutes before bed, if you want to have the best results.
A standard dosage is going to range between about 100 – 400 mg. Just make sure that you’ve stayed hydrated before taking Mugwort or else you can potentially get a slight stomachache due to the fact that this herb requires a bit more water than in some order to move through your digestive system.
