Description

Whether you’re looking to boost your wellbeing or treat common ailments, Mother Nature has plenty of secrets just waiting to be discovered.

Take these packets of wormwood and mugwort leaves, for example. They’re both highly beneficial herbs you can easily grow in your own garden or buy dried from a local herbalist.  Wormwood and Mugwort have also always been used as tools of divination and remembrance.

Wormwood has been used for centuries to soothe stomach issues like gas, bloating, and indigestion. The volatile oils in its leaves help stimulate digestion and relieve cramps. You can make a simple wormwood tea by steeping one teaspoon of dried leaves in a cup of hot water for 10 to 15 minutes. Strain and sip as needed.

Mugwort is a powerful ally for the nervous and circulatory systems. Its leaves contain compounds that act as gentle sedatives and help induce restful sleep. Mugwort tea before bed can calm your mind and nourish your body as you drift off. The tea may have a bitter flavor at first, but adding a bit of honey sweetens it nicely.

Both Mugwort and Wormwood when used for burning on coals, or adding to a fire, can be powerful in cleansing, healing and rememberance as well.
