Isn't mugwort bitter? And mildly hypnotic, which as long as you know, is fine?
I didn't taste much bitterness which may be du to cooking it. I never heard it was hypnotic and didn't feel any effect. I eat about a handful of it tonight and the same amount yesterday. It was the first time I eat it. Is this an effect of commun mugwort or chinese mugwort?
Common, I guess. I used to make a week tea of it to alleviate uterine cramping when OTC pain relievers didn't help anything, without it. https://theherbalacademy.com/blog/how-to-use-mugwort/
Oh ! Yes. Mugwort is famous to be the woman plant at least in french. Did you meant paint relieving by hyponic. I might not have understood the word correctly.
Nope, if you make the tea stronger, it makes you sleepy, or* it did me. But that may be because I also took it with food and ibuprofen.
I looove autocorrect*
I also consider common mugwort to be a bit hypnotic. It's worked with to produce vivid dreams, better dream recall, and lucid dreaming as well.
