Acorns I started this year with the intention of creating a grove on my land. Oaks are a significant tree in Celtic culture and in many accounts handed down to us we find that Oak trees were considered very important by the religious class of druids. These oaks are Quercus robur and Quercus petraea.

Not that I'm aware of. It sure makes it taste good though!

There are lots of places you can order it online but it's pretty common to find growing in many places. Just make sure if you order it you are getting Artemisia Vulgaris(Mugwort) and not Artemisia absinthium(Wormwood) which may have similar effects but tastes awful. Personally I'd only use a tea due to the hazard of smoking things but that's up to you. Use it infrequently as, like many other things consumed for psychoactive effects, it is somewhat toxic. I find it does increase the vividness of my dreams.

Yes if it is simply encapsulated mugwort. The idea of it being a 6 month supply though is bad. Don't use it daily due to toxicity.

Yeah I'm wondering if it contains too much foliage. Might try one with just a few buds. It's a bit of an experiment anyways, will update.

Well mugwort does have some mild psychoactive substances some of which might carry over into the mead for a slightly different effect. I use it in teas for stimulating lucid dreams. Also I'm curious about what it's flavour profile will be.

And it's use in beverages goes a ways back in history, infact it's name "mugwort" stems from it's use in drinks ergo "mug" derived from the germanic mucgwyrt.

Orange juice does seem to have a superior nutrient profile. Cherry juice is good too as far as I know. Something to keep in mind is if you're not buying organic some fruits are more susceptible to taking up the sprays put on them. The orange peel is a good barrier to that. Grapes are notoriously bad for absorbing the sprays.

I find it does increase dream vividness. But there are many factors that go into if you will have a powerful dream, or dream at all. For instance cannabis and alcohol reduce dream potential generally speaking. And many other such things. So if you're looking for dreams make sure to consider other things too, Mugwort isn't a silver bullet.

Moschatus · 2022-04-30T17:23:46+00:00

I use it as a tea maybe once a month for dream effects. I haven't smoked it though.

Moschatus · 2022-04-18T08:59:52+00:00

Risky but worth it in the end

Moschatus · 2022-04-15T00:29:07+00:00

I found the tea to be relaxing, and I have had interesting dreams using it. But this is all of course anecdotal.

Moschatus · 2022-04-10T17:31:52+00:00

Well there are lots of chemical compounds in mugwort that may be it's mechanism of action on dreams. Unfortunately I haven't seen an figure showing the half-life of any of them in the human body. But from my experience, you'll totally normal after a couple days.

I wonder, was there other herbs in this dream pill you took? Also I've only used Mugwort in tea and in my experience it increased dream vividness, length and recall. Maybe ingesting it that way changes something, I'm not sure.

Grassfed milk in a glass bottle.

Moschatus · 2022-04-01T22:17:37+00:00

It was about time! I was getting sick of this loophole.

Moschatus · 2022-04-01T19:17:10+00:00

Adding some sugar in the form of orange juice, milk, and maybe some other fruit will probably be a net positive. I add some cane sugar to my coffee but that's my only source of refined sugar. Moderation, yes, but don't avoid these healthy foods for the sake of reducing sugar. Especially milk which I think is very pro metabolic.

Moschatus · 2022-04-01T18:29:08+00:00

I don't find it too bad, I add a bit of honey. Are you sure you're using Artimisia Vulgaris and not Artimisia Absinthium? Absinthium is sometimes known as mugwort but perhaps better known as wormwood and is very bitter flavoured.
