💫Did you know herbs can help you dream more? 💫
🛌While you sleep, your brain continues to process info, events, and emotions from your day. Dreams play a role in how you form long-term memories, retain information…and what kind of mood you’re in the next day.
Dreams are a way to connect with your subconscious mind & the higher spiritual realm. Guidance, insight into problems & fresh perspectives on our lives can all come through dreams.
Most dreams occur during REM sleep, the final phase of your 4-part sleep cycle. The longer you sleep, the more REM sleep you’ll get, and the more intense, emotional, and memorable your dreams will be.
🌿ONEIROGENS are plants that support dream clarity, recall, and insight. The word oneirogen comes from the Greek words for “dream” and “to create.”
Mugwort (Artemisia douglasiana) is a classic oneirogen. Its genus, Artemisia, is known for aromatic, bitter herbs, and takes its name from Artemis, the Greek goddess of the moon, fertility & childbirth. Artemisias tend to have a silvery white hue underneath the leaves, leading generations of plant-lovers to connect these plants with Artemis and the moon. 🌙
Mugwort’s a relaxing nervine that’s rich in volatile oils and bitter principles…all of which gently help unwind physical tension and create a mellower emotional state, preparing you for bed. 😴
It’s also used to enhance and promote dreams, bringing the sleeper into REM sleep. (But be aware, some people’s dreams are so epic and engaging after taking Mugwort, that their night of sleep doesn’t feel all that restful!)
☕Work with Mugwort in gentle teas, as an herbal bath, placed near the bed, or as a tincture (we offer it as both a spagyric tincture & essence). Keep a dream journal near your bed so you can further process what comes up in your dreams.
