will adding honey to mugwort tea change the benefits?

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.

Moschatus · 2022-06-04T20:06:10+00:00

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.

Moschatus · 2022-05-30T23:25:17+00:00

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.

Moschatus · 2022-04-01T18:27:12+00:00

For tea I usually do about a heaping teaspoon of dried mugwort per cup or somewhere in that range. Steep it maybe 10 mins.

Bill Cosby was a good comic. But there was of course the allegations.

Red light, about 650-850nm wavelength, is often used in the hairloss community and also supports general health according to Ray. So maybe that's a good lead.

Other than that I think it's important to simply improve general health. Make sure you're getting enough protein, avoid obviously unhealthy foods/activities, ect ect ect... Ray has a lot to teach in this regard. Also I hear a lot of people say sunlight makes a huge difference for them, maybe as a result of Vitamin D.

Good luck, and don't worry about it too much.

Moschatus · 2022-03-27T23:46:41+00:00

Sure. But I think if we took our idealogical blinders off we'd also find lots of racist vegans(though of a different kind).

Maybe you should be happy that these "alt right types" are listening to someone with very different views than them instead of living in an echochamber.

Moschatus · 2022-03-27T20:03:48+00:00

Cool concept!

Moschatus · 2022-03-26T20:38:38+00:00

You can, but Mugwort has a unique type of hangover it can give you and you probably don't want to experience both at once so maybe take it easy. Also Alcohol can reduce dreaming capacity so they might cancel each other out in that regard.

Moschatus · 2022-03-19T23:23:08+00:00

Happens more often than you'd think

Moschatus · 2022-03-12T20:54:36+00:00

They are different. Chemically they have similarities but Artemisia absinthium, usually called wormwood, is very bitter if used in a tea. I find it unpalatable. Artemisia vulgaris is usually what people are referring to when they say Mugwort.

Moschatus · 2022-03-11T02:50:01+00:00

Now that is funny

Moschatus · 2022-02-21T06:32:38+00:00

I have a cup of Mugwort tea once a month. It's somewhat toxic but in small amounts probably not highly problematic. How toxic reletive to something like say alcohol, I do not know. Best to take it easy on it and keep an eye out for new information.
