Pumpkins aside, this episode is all about the other herb of the season - Mugwort.
Artemisia vulgaris is an ancient plant that has travelled with witches, wanderers, and wise women for centuries. But what does modern herbalism say about its use?
In this bite-sized episode, we explore:
- Mugwort’s rich folklore and lunar connection
- Why it’s an incredible nervine and ally for vivid dreaming
- Its actions on digestion, menstruation, and the pineal gland
- Why this herb is not for pregnancy - and why respecting herbal medicine matters
- How to use mugwort as a tea, smudge, oil, or smoke
This one’s for the herbalists, the seekers, the skeptics, and anyone looking to deepen their connection with plant medicine. Whether you're interested in its bitter action on the liver, its use as a meditation tool, or its psychospiritual benefits, mugwort has something to teach us all.
Caution: Not for use during pregnancy or conception.
