Herbalism with Lori: Mugwort Tea for the Restless Mind
Mugwort Tea (the sane method)
What you need
Dried mugwort: 1 teaspoon per cup
Do not get ambitious. Mugwort punishes hubris.
Hot water: just off the boil
Think “steaming with intent,” not rolling rage.
How to make it
Bring water to a boil, then remove from heat.
Add 1 teaspoon dried mugwort to a mug or teapot.
Pour hot water over it.
Cover and steep 5–10 minutes.
5 minutes = gentler, dream-friendly
10 minutes = bitter truth serum
Strain.
Optional:
Honey (if you don’t enjoy suffering)
A slice of ginger or lemon (to soften the edge)
Drink slowly. This is not a chug-and-go situation.
What it tastes like
Bitter. Herbal. Slightly wild.
Like a plant that knows things and is judging you quietly.
Use it :
Before sleep (dreamwork)
Before journaling
When the mind feels loud and the veil feels thin
Not an “all day every day” tea. Mugwort is a visitor, not a roommate.
