• Who Is Harmonic Arts B... - Jak na to + styl
i love mugwort. I used to suffer from horrific nightmares. there wasn't a pharmaceutical that helped. One day, I put mugwort in my room, no nightmares. it's been five years. Mugwort grows in my yard now and I dry it near my bed. I still dream vividly, but fear has been removed. Mugwort is a beautiful guardian. Every one should have mugwort hanging round. thanks for vids.
Wow! That’s amazing
Thanks for your comment.
Thank you, I’ll try growing some soon.
Been have vivid dreams that wake me every hour.
@@Ja2808R Try foraging it before you grow it! It's super easy to find in many places. Any park or woodland margin should have it (and most roadsides have it too, but it's a bit more polluted there).
@@GhostCharacter thank you, I will look into it more. In zone 8 Eastern carolinas
“ We wear it as a crown and dance around the fire to ward off evil spirts”
I like this guy 💘
...explains a few things....about me....
have to share: I was tripping on mushrooms on top of a mountain mesa in northern New Mexico, on a full harvest moon just walking around when I was drawn to this stand of flowering plants in the middle. I sat down among them and wove a crown, which I wore for the rest of the night, It was the next day when I looked up the plant and found it to be mugwort..........................
how did you look up a plant
@@lxcvst7527 thanks
Timely. Gotta get a stand established for the dark times dawning. X
Jack Broomhead there are plant identifying apps
Awesome
Love the intro - addressing the plant as a personality, rather than a resource. Respect due...
I agree
powerful
Dang, I was almost the 200th like. I'm fine with 199 though 😌
👍
All plants are here for a reason or they wouldn't be.
You mentioned that use of mugwort as culinary, medicinal in many different situations, and spiritual uses. Country side in Korea where I grew up, we burned them in the middle of yard as bug repellants, especially mosquitoes, by smoking the area. Thanks for your informative presentation!
Thanks for sharing that. I will try it one of these evenings when the mosquitoes are out.
We use it in Manitoba in our campfires to keep mosquitoes away. It works great.
good to know, thanks
@@Herbal_Jedi Please let us know how it works
I see and smell it many time but never use it.... thanks for the free knowledge
Never feel so blind as when some one like Yarrow says, "This is Mugwort." and then it dawns on me that I have been looking at the stuff outside my door and did not realize what it is.
Charles Clements sometimes that’s the way it goes. There is Medicine all around us, but it’s not till it grabs our attention from somewhere else that we can see it.
Yarrow:
Like the song says,"Wake me up inside." Thank you.
This is usually the case that the herb we need will grow (volunteer) for us where we live.
The way that I think of it is that God sends us the answer to our prayer before we ask him.
@@Star1320Light That's true. I've been trying to destroy it for YEARS...without knowing all the benefits that it has.
Mugwort is a household must in Hunan, China where I grew up. The herb brings a lot of nostalgic memories from my childhood. On the third day of March on lunar calendar, my mom always cook hard boiled eggs with fresh mugwort leaves as breakfast; the hard boiled eggs tastes light yet uplifting herbal scent, soup looks a bit golden and tastes fresh. then she would put the mugwort bundles on our front door to keep the bugs and mosquitos away since the weathers starts to get warm and tends to attract more insects. We also like to add mugwort leaves to the hot water to soak feet at night before going to bed. The bottom of the feet contains a lot of channels in the acupuncture, we believe the healthy properties of the herb can soothe you in a holistic way.
I've been giving mugwort to one of my cats that has skin inflammation and hyperthyroidism....the difference is almost unbelievable. She went from completely crazy and almost jumping out of her own skin to falling asleep on my shoulder and cuddling again. Pretty amazing stuff.
That’s amazing! A mugwort infusion of some kind, or the leaves mixed into food..?
@@lemonlimepunch1 It's an extract I ordered off Amazon, no alcohol of course.
UH, I read it's lethal to cats. Are you sure it's not just weakness? I'm worried, I'm not trying to be rude!
Is your cat alcoholic?
Thats why we have these plants. To heal
I know a guy who made a dream pillow with mugwort along with sleepy herbs such as chamomile and hops (and maybe some others). He quit using it after a week, because the psychedelic dreams were too intense to handle, lol.
Haha that`S actually pretty cool.. might try that!
@@katie-lp6ud Okay well, good luck! Be warned you may not sleep so soundly, though. If you've ever experienced sleep paralysis, you ought to avoid this experiment entirely. I've never tried mugwort, but I have been on medication with the side effects of restless sleeps and lucid dreaming. Most of my dreams we're like bizarre horror b-movies, and were just stupid, but at some point during the dream, I'd realize I'm dreaming (because it was just so stupid), and if I couldn't force myself awake, I could rewind the dream, and hit replay, and guide it toward a better version of the story. Only once did I dream something beautiful and psychedelic... but then that was meds and not mugwort. I think the mechanism is the same though. In a dream state without REM, are the lucid dreams you can remember and become aware of, and therefore control. You're almost conscious in that state, and not really getting a proper sleep.
All that being said though, I wanna try it too, lol.
@@fattymcbastard6536 Mugwort gave me crazy dreams. It also made sleep paralysis more frequent. I even had an outer body experience with it. Many of the experiences I've had with mugwort are kind of spooky and that's a pity cause I was really drawn to that plant.
But I think that it would be cool to experiment with a sleep pillow. How do you make it? What plants do you use besides chamomile and mugwort?
@@fattymcbastard6536 .. Yes, lavender placed in a sachet pillow and tucked under or around your pillow will make you sleep like a baby ..
@Goth “Jedi Master Engineer” Bosch you can also sprinkle some on a joint to smoke. And then a rose pedal rolling paper to complete the experience
In Germany and my kitchen we use it when roasting any fatty meats, especially goose, duck and pork. It breaks down the fat and, as you said, makes it more digestible. Also, the gentle psychotropic effect leaves family and guests in a pleasant state. I love the stuff, and learned much from this video. Thank You.
I would love to try that! How do you cook with it?
Question: is the psychotropic affect something you can explain please? My 15 son bought this herb and I'm just learning about it. Is it safe as a tea for kids? Thank you
@@heidipucci9078 The effect is very subtle. It's one of those things that gets blown out of proportion. Thujone (the active ingredient in absinthe) is related to THC, but much milder. I have a cup of tea almost every night simply because I like the bitterness of it. I use 1tsp wormwood, 1tsp black tea (Assam) 1/2 tsp hibiscus, maybe a pinch of elder flowers and a lot of honey. I like it mostly for my digestion. There's no real appreciable "effect" anymore than chamomile.
I've had 2 kids that went through their teens. I wish you the best of luck. ;)
@@mstorandelliVulgaris has Thujone as well or only Wormwood?
I just smoked it for the first time, it feels the way I felt before the trauma! Omg this is so amazing. I need to start growing my own right away
I love drinking mugwort tea before bed I’ll always realize I’m dreaming and become lucid thanks to the tea
Its so bitter tho
@@stellartoad you're right. Extremely bitter, but you get used to it. It also makes me feel like the plant is working. Getting past the bitterness and after taste of throwup and receiving the benefits of the medicinal plant. 💚🌿
@@MrPineappleruler so how do you make the tea? Do you just boil leaves? Please explain thank you.
@@Rich.- You pour boiling water over the leaves and flowers and steep for 10 minutes. You then remove the plant and drink the tea.
How many tablespoons of dried mugwort should be used for tea?
Mugwort is massive in Korean skin care right now. It’s super calming and hydrating
Is it good for diseases with skin
How do you use it for the skin?
I love mugwort. It's fantastic to smoke before bed, for great vivid dreams.
@Azsherü-el yes you can boil it and drink it :)
@Azsherü-el Yes, you can make a tea with it. Even just lighting it and using it more like a smudge stick can cause vivid, lucid dreaming.
I wonder if it can be vaporised?
@@mvandell you could try it i have smoked it myself but i found it quite harsh so I just boil it and drink it
@@RAMP2PAGE Yeah I'm going o give t a try! Do you use it in tea dried or fresh? What dosage?
I appreciate you taking the time to go over the plant identification procedures, taxonomy, and botanical background. There's a lot of plants that look like other plants and it can be hard to differentiate without looking at its reproductive organs.
I spotted this in my garden. Wasn’t sure what it was so decided it was a weed and pulled it out. Went for a walk today with my grandson and he pulled a stalk of it out and made a game of tossing it back and forth with me. And then tonight this video found me! I’m so blessed. Thank you for all the info you shared. And yes, I subscribed to your site🙏🏻
Be careful when identifying. It's cousin is Ragweed, and looks very similar :)
I didn't know this plant existed until a few years ago,it came to me in a dream,now its growing in my garden.
I have a mugwort farm in Oregon!😀 I LOVE this video.
Do you provide seeds for sale?
I have tons of it growing in my back yard in Massachusetts! It spreads rapidly!
@@lamak0925 yes I do.
@@lamak0925 see my website.
What is your website, the same as your name? I'm interested in the seeds!
I love the sense of peace mugwort brings. A nice mild anti depressant.
Mugwort, is a plant mainly found in the hills in the British Isle. With angular, purple stalks grows more than three feet in height. The botanical name is derived from Greek goddess Artemis. Of virginity, animals, hunting and childbirth of the deep forest. That is why it’s more known as a female herb. The Roman soldiers were known to put mugwort in their sandals to keep their feet from getting tired. Shamans and Witches have known to use mugwort with witchcraft and rituals. They believed by rubbing of the leaves on the body are said to keep ghosts away and help protect against the evils of the spirit realms. It is also as the “Sailor Tobacco” for sailors are known to smoke it in sailor’s pipe. Mugwort it known as a dream herb that gives a relaxing euphoria. For people under depression and anxiety it can help get better night sleep. It makes a great tea or can be smoked as well.
Mugwort is *super* widely used in Korean cuisine. My mom used to send me and my sister out to the mountains in Busan to pick them and we'd make sticky rice cake (ttuk) made with mugwort (ssuk) at the local "steamery" (the closest word I can think of), and we also put it in all the stews and soups.
I remember too. Now I make pancake with it. In spring I will harvest I will make smoothie and add pancake mix and egg.
I had no idea. I LOVE KOREAN FOODS!!! ❤️
I take a mugwort tincture before bed sometimes to invoke very detailed dreams. Its such a wonderful plant
Where did you get your tincture? If you please
How do you make this tincture?
Steep fresh mugwort in vodka for a month or two. Strain it out and there you go
Hi I’m Japanese, we use this in cuisine from Tempura to desert to snacks. I also use this to put in soap as I make soap from scratch (oils and lye). If you want to use the fresh one, boil it first then mix into Mochi to bread to anything you want. You can also dry them and grind them to make powder. You can put it in Mochi to bread to biscuits for green color and nice flavor. It has subtle bitterness that enhances bland things. Fry the fresh one in batter (tempura) and delicious with other fried vegetables.
And yeah we call it Yomogi as he and few others pointed out.
Over here in America we are warned by herbalists not to eat this plant because they say it's harmful to the liver. Clearly your culture has no problem adding it to lots of foods. I wonder if we are being lied to about the safety.
Thank you for sharing 🙏🏽
The camera operator did an incredible job with this video.
Thanks for talking about mugwort. In Japanese, it’s called “yomogi.” We use mugwort to make “tempura”- the deep fried cuisine as well as making a dessert called, “yomogi-mochi”, which is mugwort leaves are infused into mochi, FYI.
That's so interesting! Thank you for sharing.
Mugwort mochi. Interesting. I'd try it, but I doubt they sell it at Wegmans.
Thank you
Why is info so far? I'm young on a relative's channel, pharma aside, I believe in so called holistic methods of medicine if I'm informed I still use colloidal silver (home made with out parts per million but results in moderation, no ageria for me)in terms of some antibiotics,
@@loricochran4692 You really shouldn't use colloidal silver at all. Using it in moderation won't stop you from developing argyria: you'll just develop it more slowly. The body has no biological use for silver, so it deposits it in your soft tissue (like your skin, gums, tongue, eyes, ect.) which is what slowly turns people blue. Silver does have some use in the medical field where silver compounds are used in wound dressings, but taken orally it is virtually useless. It was used prior to the development of antibiotics in the 40's due to misconceptions about the causes and treatments of bacterial infections.
With a name like Yarrow, you have most definitely stepped into your purpose.
Fabulous videos
My thoughts exactly !
I love his name and I love yarrow. I use to eat yarrow cookies when I was little. :)
Wow this video is flawless. Well done! Mugwort rescued me from 20 years of nightmares I acquired from my activity in the military.
How did you use it? So many troops enter the civilian sector with many issues. Many people suffer traumas and could use this help. I'd like to spread the word on effective remedies. I wonder if it helps with night terrors.
In my country (India) it's called Gali Maddu (Air Medicine). It's given to people when they are leaving their house to travel. Just a couple of leaves are put in your pocket , to ward of evil or diseases. Very accurate video.
In Germany it's also called "Hebammen Kraut" so "Midwife herb", because of its use for childbirth. Nice video! Loved the midsummer story!
What does the midwife do w it?
@@rosalbahamer994they use it right before the woman is giving birth. It helps with relieving cramps and promotes the birth giving, so it can make the birth easier. Its still used today as and extract if the baby just doesnt want to come out :D So basically every plant that is helping with period cramps should not be taken during pregnancy. Because they loosen cramps and promote menstruation and this could lead to a premature birth or abortion. Hope that helped :)
Isn't it beifuß?
@@jenstahlberg686 Japp :D Aber es gibt, so wie für jede Pflanze, halt noch Volksnamen usw. die halt früher verwendet werden, und Hebammenkraut ist einer dieser Namen. :)
@@ToffibaerCookie wow! I had no idea. Thank you.
I love mugwort!! For anyone that wants to grow it in their garden, be very careful where you plant it. If it goes to seed, you will have mugwort coming up EVERYWHERE. I suggest letting it grow in an area where it can have plenty of room to spread. I accidentally let it go to seed and it took over all my raised beds.
Could it be put in pots? Maybe a big one?
@lucus petry If I'm correct, mugwort spreads rapidly through its roots.
@@respectedagain7296 it does spread through roots and seeds.
It can get HUGE! 6 feet around and tall.
@@Star1320Light mine is about 8 feet tall and flowering
It's my favorite herb! This is how I found it growing near my vegetable garden, it called to me. I kept feeling something was luring me to a meadowy area...I had read a little about it but when I kept having that feeling that something was calling me into that area and I found the mugwort I knew it was a very spiritual and wonderful herb!
Can’t add much more praise than what everyone else has said. You are a natural teacher and your practices are what makes you a natural leader in the craft. As always, thank you so much for your content.
Love the way you mix spiritual and holistic aspect together in your explanations. As it should be. ❤️
I have been dabbling with herbs for a few years, and mugwort is the only only one I feel deep experience with. I picked a large bouquet one summer (a few times, same area) and walked away with a feeling I can only recall maybe feeling on my wedding day..a euphoric, peaceful, joyous feeling. Sublime. The first time I brought it home, I put it in a vase with water at my bedside. I experienced sleep paralysis that night minus the fear. I awoke again later that night and placed the vase outside, respectfully. The vibe was just too high for me and I wasn't respecting the plant enough, I thought. I've tinctured the flowering tops and found it specifically helped in dream work requiring re-entry to past dreams or some sort of attention to detail. Once I could read the letters inscribed on a small key. (I don't dream in detail normally). I think this plant is good for trauma survivors with the mood it imparts: it makes you feel beautiful when you hold it. I think Matthew Wood said it was good for survivors. I was delighted to hear that after my own experience; mugwort imparts faith in the self. tl;dr ...dream pillows are no joke!😂
I made dream pillows about 30years ago and gave one to someone having nightmares. The nightmares stopped.
Some American tribes geld their coming of age vision quest partially in order to find the person's plant ally.
They found the One (of Many Herbs available) that Called to them & they used that One, eventually, to cure everything. Because throughout their life the mission was to discover How to do so!! I've always found that interesting, and felt like sharing that with you here.
Mugwort tincture is awesome! I wish I had some now.
@@Star1320Light Thank you for saying so! I've always been fascinated by the notion of having only one plant to work with.
🙏🏻🤗
I love how you gently handle and speak of it... so much reverence for the medicine of the plant.
Mugwort is a favorite of mine-- have to have her in the house with me. I tincture it with thyme and sage and it treats very painful/emotional PMS and cramps that I've had all my life! It has also helped my partner recover dreaming after several years of having no dream recollection. We work outside a lot and it really helps combat the grossness of wet, musty work boots. So much love and respect to this friend
1 TBS flaxseed oil will get rid of cramps. You can just add it to a smoothie
I use mugwort as a smudge in a ritual to end the seasons, It gets me ready for the coming season with fresh awareness and helps me shrug off any old energies that no longer serve me. Thank your presence and for presenting one of my favorite plants to work with.
Ohhh thank U 🙏😇🍃💛🍃✌️Yarrow everyone appreciates honors & loves U .. me too .. I allow plant life to develop in my permaculture garden .. new plants appear ..seeded by the Birds .. an old herbalist told me when a plant suddenly grows by Ur door it is responding to a need in U .. Mugwort is very gentle for past 3 years has been trying to grow in my front yard .. 1st I ignored & treated it like a weed .. next year I started to look into its properties & this year I found this from U Herbal Jedi..🙏😎🌱🍃🌺🌿💛🍃🌸🍃
I was just sharing that that was my discovery and it's something that I learned in the last 11 years when my journey began on this leg of spirit direction. I have lived in a piece of land for 6 years and I saw many regular plant lives that would come and go with the seasons but one year there was this fabulous bush and I thought to myself it couldn't possibly be time I started to learn more about plants but the identification in real life wasn't where my focus was and it still isn't after all these years but I imagine some point I will graduate. I can't remember exactly what it was but I thought isn't that something it's actually a plant medicine I could have benefited from greatly and I found this information as I was moving from the property all I can remember is they were little white star flowers
Anyway I would like to plant them intentionally many different medicines and cultivate a relationship with the plants but like you said the birds will bring many seeds and nature herself will respond to the chemicals that we release when we are in need of a specific medicine And then just plants will be available at our fingertips very lovely. If you ask me. No one's ever feel alone understanding how magical life really is
@@elnosworld9893 yes Beautifully said .. Ur a sensitive spiritual Soul .. we ( humans ) are truly Blessed but are so distracted by modern conventions .. look up every plant growing near U & be amazed by their healing properties
🙏🍃♥️🕊🧬🍃🍃🙏🍃☀️
love the way yarrow gently touches the beautiful Mugwort Artemisia Angel
Love your channel. You are like a herbal, and medicinal plant guru. I shared your channel with my mom, and now you're all she talks about!!!
This was one of the first herbal helpers grown for me. It's amazing how you discover new uses for it when you need them. Placing leaves/flowers in kombucha for a 2nd ferment is so enjoyable. Learning all the time. Thanks for this video you invoke excitement when you speak Herbal Jedi. Love it.
HolyCannoli, Willard, Your uploads keep getting BETTER AND BETTER!!!
INVALUABLE!
Thank You, Thank You, THAAAAAAANK Yoooooooooouuu!!!
Your uploads, along with "Learn Your Land" with Adam, have completely changed my experiences on the earth.
Seriously.
Foraging and Harvesting have NEVER been so rewarding in the past before getting deep into the content You provide.
Love, Blessings, and Abundance upon You and Your LovedOnes!
just wanted to say thank you for your videos I I learn a lot from them and you are the most chilled guy I think I have seen in a long time.
I just want to thank you for how well presented and easy to digest your teaching style is. I love the references to historic ideas behind the use of these plants coupled with the modern understanding of how they truly function. Your channel had not been showing up in my notifications for probably 8-10 months (even though I am subscribed and notifications are set to all). I was reminded of your channel as I was seeking herbal replacements for many of the pharmaceutical drugs whose development I have recently learned don’t align with my moral and religious beliefs. Your content is by far the best filmed, most understandable, and most in depth I have been able to find. Thank you for all the work it takes to share your deep knowledge in this teaching role!
The Japanese and Koreans also use mugwort in acupuncture. When it’s burned on the skin it creates a heat shock protein which means it helps your body create white blood cells and make in turn increase the immune system.
wha?
just recently took an herbal class and concentrated on using mugwort, so this was perfect timing for me. a huge thank you along with green blessings..!
This is my favourite source of herbal information, thank you (from New Zealand) 🌿🌱🍃🙏
It is also great for an astringent, cooling bath in the hot summer. Steep a bunch of it in hot bath water for a bit, like a giant cuppa tea. Put it in a laundry net to keep the water particle-free. Let the water cool a bit if u want or not. Feels great!! I live in Japan where it grows literally everywhere.
I love the way you touch and connect with the plants! Keep making videos. They're greatly appreciated! Namaste.
This is my favorite Chanel on CZcams. Thanks for all the good vibrations you put into this world Yarrow
Yarrow...I just love your videos, I am learning so much about herbs and how to use them to heal myself. Keep going, you are such a positive contribute to the world community. With gratitute.
Loved working with mugwort when I got acupuncture. So so comforting.
Mugwort is one of my newest companions from the plant world, and as a person who can struggle with anxiety, I've found the companionship incredibly helpful. I started out with teas, which help whenever I have a belly ache. I also like to smoke mugwort before bed, and feel that I sleep much more soundly. Thanks so much for this video! I am excited to keep deepening my appreciation for this plant.
Do you eat and burn all your friends?
Can i roll it in paper and smoke?
@@hairrum yes
Thank you for your comment, I struggle with IBS, Insomnia and depression
I guess it first needs to dry??
This is definitely my favorite channel I have found on CZcams by far. Your videos are the best I was so stoked when i found your videos thank for your amazing knowledge!! I love mugwort! I make a tincture with it called sweet dreams. I plan to come to that herbal gathering that just happened next year. I look forward to going to that so much!!!
Thank you. Enjoyed the lesson. Especially appreciated the last bit where you made the implication of leaving the plant the ability to regenerate itself. This is helpful as in essence creates more plants, in a way giving back as well as taking. We don't live on a magic cupboard that just keeps giving. We have to give back too.
How gentle and helpful is this guy ❤️
I haven’t worked with mugwort in a long while. Thank you for the reminder to reconnect with it again! ❤️
Nice video. The mugwort pillow has seriously given me some crazy dreams. I'm a fairly frequent lucid dreamer and having this under my pillow truly tapped me in. So much so that I had to remove it after a few days... powerful plant! Thank you Yarrow for the great info!
Really enjoy learning more about these plants!!!!
Oh man, I know this is from 4 years ago, but the knowledge is timeless. This was so wonderfully put together. You put me at such ease just with your voice, and the way you talk, alone-but how you spoke so passionately about this silver backed beauty that I’m so extremely drawn to-*that* is what made me subscribe instantly! I haven’t even checked out your channel or other videos yet, but I’m guaranteed to be a frequent flyer from now on 💕! I’m just starting to get into herbs and mugwort and nettles were the first couple I was introduced to. I actually found this video as part of my “homework” to learn more about how we can(/have in the past) interact with mugwort and of its (now seemingly endless 😝) properties. To end this before I ramble for days-I hope you see this, because I just want to thank you so much! & I’ll definitely be introducing your channel to my teacher later on today!)
(Ps you’re awesome🤙!
Sending endless amounts of love and hugs! x🤍o
Our new adventure is beautifying/healing the land where ever we go.
***~Moves into a new place and checks out yard and finds Mugwort everywhere. ~***
Thank you ♡
Learning about all the things is such an adventure.
I love how you give all the details. Something told me I needed mugwort when at the CoOp. Glad I got it because I get stomach pain. I have a diet of no sugar (bite of fruit twice a week) and no yeast, and so I hope I don't have a reaction. Strangely, chamomile gives me migraines, and I find it in teas, creams and lotions, shampoos, etc. A big thank you!
I am a tcm practitioner and I specialize in treating chronic illnesses due to chronic parasitic infections. Your video was so wonderful on so many levels. Really appreciate how you cover all the energetic and spiritual properties of mugwort. I’m nursing one back to health after my landlord weeded it. I knew it was mugwort. How awesome to smoke it too. And then dream pillows! Much love to you from Hawaii 🤟🦋🌈💖🌸
By far the best Materia Medical channel I've found on CZcams.
We got plenty of mugwort in our yard..and now i know the benefits of it..Thanks my friend and God bless..
If you are getting into hunting and utilizing what Mother Nature has to offer for health problems or just to add beautiful nutrients to your diet, this man is the person to watch and learn, he along with Adam Haritan, “Learn Your Land”, are hands down the best. I love these guys.
I just wanna say, as a man, I have high respects for your pride in your passions. Despite the controversy towards being involved with any positive aspects of smokable herbs, you make sure the truth and pride of the plants 🌱 you teach about are respected.
Thank you so much! I just moved to a new house that has it growing all around and am delighted to hear of all it's incredible uses 💖
I have just found your channel and I'm simply smitten! The way you deliver information is eloquent and easy to understand. I can really follow along, and I feel as though I'm retaining the info. (With dyslexia that's a challenge) I'm so thankful I found your channel. I aspire to be a herbalist, for spiritual and ecological reasons. I love your work, thank you so very much for all that you do.
This is my first video of yours I've watched and I'm hooked!
I'm amazed you didn't mention that it's used to remove poison oak oil when hiking! That's what i know it for best.
Wow good to know! The only trick I’ve known with poison oak is when my dog and I would go for a hike I would take the leaves and sticks and dirt from the forest floor and rub him down with it, and luckily I never got it from his fur. Otherwise I just have a deep respect for poison oak and keep my eyes open to it. How would you say it’s best to use the mugwort for poison oak? Rubbing the leaves over the area you touched?
I was told that jewelweed also works. Apparently you just pick the fresh jewelweed, crush it, and rub it on the place you've just contacted the poison oak or ivy, etc. I would think that mugwort could probably be used much the same way.
@@laurenunger1612 I love this story. Thank you for sharing.
Mosquito repellent when burned..
Love this guy. He is so calming.

One of the best out there! Great videos, full of great information!
I grow mugwort for my dairy goats 🐐 helps with their parasite load 👍
Good to know thanks
OS it good for cats
What about horses?
@@marthawells9732 my horses and mule turn their nose up.... But they will eat a little fresh wormwood mixed with fresh mint 👍
Dude...what?! I'll look this up and study for myself! Thank you so much for the tip! I just rescued 3 goats that have been running around the neighborhood. 2 belong to one person...1 belongs to another but they are just running around the neighborhood together lol they have bonded. I came over and swooped em all up and now they are fat and happy in my old apple orchard. I'm still learning the basics of goat care... I never planned on having goats!
I grew up in 50s/60s Germany and Mugwort (Beifuß in German, literally "next to your foot" meaning always keep it close)) was always used with very fatty meat like goose and duck. The fat being very nutritious but difficult to digest for some people, this was vital. It was also used dried in infusions. I've used it like that for decades here where I live in England. I've invoked it ( as you rightly say) to appear in my garden, as I do with many wild herbs. It works if you are connected to plants. I have been all my life. And btw: the "wort" in the English name of certain herbs probably comes from the German (Saxon root) "Wert" meaning value. "Wertvoll" in German is "full of value" which says everything.
Mugwort and lemon balm tea, yes, here these two thrive in my garden and are used together.
Learning to connect to plants, communicating with them is true magic, the kind that gets better and more powerful with experience and time. Being neary 75, I can vouch for that😊🧙♀️
This video makes me so happy. I'm on a plant journey in New Mexico trying to create my happiness. I will be looking for mugwort to start growing right next to my back patio!

Literally every aspect of usage of this plant excepting menstrual cramps and symptoms, are things I need. May the wind be always at your back and the sun upon your face Yarrow, I'm a herbal Padawan one might say and your loving in depth friendship and knowledge of the plants conveys their character and uses powerfully to the audience, with simple clarity and yet thorough understanding of the culinary medical and spiritual aspects of the Mugwort tying the particular history of peoples and the uses they made.

Thank you Yarrow for your knowledge
"A tiger and a bear came to Hwanung, king and direct descendant of the demi-god Han-ul-nim, a prayer to him that they may become human. Hwangnung gave to each of them a bundle of mugwort and twenty pieces of garlic, and instructed them to live in a cave for one hundred days without sunlight. The tiger failed, however the bear was transformed into a beautiful women whom Hwangnung married and begot a son Wanggom,who became known as Tan-gun."
And history says that in 2,333 B.C. a guy called Tan-gun, the chief of the Bear tribe, united nine tribes and forming the Kingdom of Chosen, a dynasty that lasted for over a thousand years.
Wow. Love this story

I've used Mugwort for years as a tea in the evening before bed. I love the flavor. I didn't know about some of the other uses. Thank you for these videos. So much to learn ! :-)
Watching this video made me feel so stress free. Idk why. Maybe the big magical tree in the background or perhaps him speaking on herb use making me feel very connected to the earth. Subscribed!!
