Mugwort – Latin name : Artemisia vulgaris

Mugwort has helped countless people with disrupted sleep, specifically those who wake in the middle of the night and have difficulty falling back to sleep. Mugwort, is the primary herb I recommend for dreamwork. It is inexpensive, ubiquitous as a human-following and city-thriving weedy herb, and entirely reliable for its effects on dreaming. Mugwort alone won’t make you a lucid dreamer overnight. This is practice and requires consistent effort, including mindset-managing and intention-setting practices before bed, such as breathwork, visualization, and meditation.

In the West, Mugwort was historically associated with the Greek god Artemis, the Moon God. This is perhaps because the herb stimulates blood circulation and was prescribed chiefly to aid painful and irregular menstruation and also to aid birthing. Artemis is the Greek God who was famed for sending divine dreams.

The pineal gland has been likened to the seat of consciousness. It becomes active when we are in deep rapid eye movement sleep, creating our dream world. The release of melatonin at night balances out the sleep wake cycle, keeps us balanced, connected with the cycles of day and night. Mugwort can stimulate pineal gland activity thus bringing our dreams alive.
