Notes
Mugwort is called the “dream plant” and can be beneficial for dreams and sleep! It can be used as a liver tonic, as a sedative, and as a plant medicine to promote circulation. It is a supportive herb for menstruation, digestion and bloating. Mugwort tea is wonderful for people experiencing insomnia, stress, digestive issues, weak immunity, or cramping, but it should be avoided by people who are in early stages of pregnancy.
