Please allow me to introduce you to (drum roll please)..... Mugwort! Mugwort might just be the herb that every single women needs to have on hand.
Mugwort is an ancient plant that has been used for thousands of years and is known as one of the best herbs to use for balancing your menstrual cycle; both for relieving menstrual cramps and helping to regulate your periods. Mugwort stimulates blood flow to your reproductive organs and helps relax your uterus. And trust me, a relaxed uterus is a much happier uterus. So if you suffer from not having a period, or having irregular periods/painful periods, mug wort is for you!
Mugwort, also called Artemisia Vulgarisis, is named after the Greek Goddess Artemis. Artemis is the Goddes of the Moon. The moon is associated with deep feminine energy, the dreamtime state, and ancient wisdom. Therefore, Mugwort is also known to help promote vivid and lucid dreams as this herb is deeply connected to the moon. So cool right? We love this witchy little herb!
During the time when a woman is bleeding, her psychic abilities are at their highest and she is most in tune with her intuitive abilities. Since Mugwort is a dream enhancer, taking Mugwort during your period can really take your dream state to the next level. If you are taking Mugwort as a way to enhance your dream state, I would suggest brewing a tea and drinking it approximately an hour before bed and journaling about what your intentions are for dreamtime state. Keep the journal close by your bed so that when you wake up, you can immediately write down what you recall. And if you don’t remember anything, that’s okay. Just trust that you received whatever healing or messages you needed to receive that night and try again another night.
Another beautiful benefits of Mugwort is it’s ability to revitalize your nervous system as it stimulates nerve activity. And although it may seem contradictory because it is a stimulant, it actually helps calm and relax your nervous system, therefor helping to relieve tension and anxiety. And lastly, Mugwort can help relieve indigestion and bloating. Mugwort increases the volume of secretion of bile from the liver, helping to transport and release toxins whilst providing great benefit to the digestive system. So if you are suffering from stomach pain, Mugwort is the herb for you!
Benefits in a nutshell:
1. Promotes lucid dreams
2. Calms the nervous system
3. Eases menstrual cramps
4. Can help you to have a more regular and consistent period
5. Aids in digestion and decreases bloating
Have I sold you yet? I love taking mugwort as a tincture and either diluting it in water or making a tea. I'll warn you, it doesn't have the greatest taste in the world, but the benefits outweigh the slightly bitter taste every day of the week!
