Mugwort – Handpicked & regeneratively grown

I hand-harvest this aromatic mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris) from small regenerative plots, then low-temperature dry and cut & sift it for clean, consistent use. It’s a classic dream herb with sage-like aroma, perfect for evening teas, dream pillows, soothing baths, and gentle herbal blends.

🌿 What is it?

• Cut & sifted aerial parts (leaf & flowering tops), approx. 3–8 mm.
• Flavor & aroma: herbaceous, sage-like, gently bitter with soft camphor notes.
• Naturally caffeine-free; suitable for tea, sachets/pillows, baths, and light incense-style blends.

2. Dream pillow: Fill a small breathable sachet with mugwort; tuck near your pillow. Refresh monthly for aroma.
