Herbal Healing

This blog is dedicated to herbal healing and other natural health remedies. In an attempt to deepen my own knowledge, I will share information on a variety of herbs, focusing largely on easy to find Western plants, as well as methods for preparing herbal medicines and natural beauty treatments. I am not a certified herbalist, licensed cosmetologist, or physician, so please use the information on this blog at your own risk! I've been an aspiring herbalist for several years, and I hope to finally get my certification sometime this year.

It's winter dreamtime, so I've been doing some research. Thought you may be interested in this: (link). Any thoughts? How do you feel about Mugwort? Have you posted about it before? Also, what do you know about Devil's Club Root? It's found locally here, and I've been drinking it in tea and also have a bit by my bedside to ward off evil (the Tlingit believe it has this property).

Here is the link for anyone interested since it doesn’t show up: http://www.shamanswell.org/shaman/3-plant-medicines-help-you-lucid-dreaming

Mugwort is one of my favorite herbs!  It’s a plant ally for women and their reproductive systems; in traditional folklore, it was used to promote lucid dreaming and astral projection.  I put it in one of my sleepy time teas and I tend to have very clear, vivid dreams when I drink it.  I think it’s time mugwort has its own post!  I know I’ve heard of devil’s club root before, but I’m not sure in what capacity - it’s definitely something I want to research in depth.

What else do you use devil’s club root for?  Thanks for sharing the awesome and interesting article, Lindsay!
