    I became aware of Mugwort and its used a few years ago in an herb class I was taking. Good plant to know.

    It is a very useful herb but will become a bad weed in the garden. I planted one plant 3 years ago and am constantly pulling out volunteers from all parts of my garden.

    I harvest a bit to dry for use in some of my bitters.

    I first heard of it years ago because Anne Louise Gittleman has recommended it for getting rid of parasites. Thankfully, information I didn't need. But alas, it is good for other stuff too.

    I loved mugwort in my younger years. Very helpful for "lady problems" if you will. Now with menopause I haven't used it in awhile. Supposed to be good for digestion. Bitters would be great use for mugwort. Will have to try some.

    Mugwort also increases dreaming. It is associated with witches and "soothsaying". That being said...i have not experinced the dream enhancement but i do like the calming qualities it has...much less pronounced than motherwort which i truly love

    I love mugwort! It has many herbal properties and it also smells great when burned like incense or for smudging. I've heard it called black sage, too.

    I love the smell of mugwort! I have used it in dream pillows (not necessarily restful though) burning to clear the air, and infused in oil for aches and pains. I have never tried growing it because it grows all around where I live
