Organic Mugwort Capsules 450 mg - 90 Capsules - Vegan - By Dream Leaf - Made in USA - Mood, Dreaming, Relaxation, Digestion - Mugwort As Artemisa Annua)

Short review: I know this product is marketed towards lucid dreaming but I take mugwort to manage the pain from my endometriosis around the time of my period. I used these this past winter when I did not have access to fresh mugwort from my garden. The pills are small and easy to swallow, good packaging and I would recommend them. Long Review: Last year, I had a terrible flare up of endo—imagine the worst stabbing pain in your abdomen and lower back. It feels like a knife in your gut and some ladies have actually passed out from the pain (I nearly did a few years ago). I typically do not take pain killers like Tylenol or aspirin but for one whole month last year, I had to take these pills nearly every day because the pain was so bad. I was basically bedridden that whole month. There’s no real or easy cure for endo but like many health conditions, managing it proactively is key. I learned about mugwort from my partner’s Chinese parents and after my own research, discovered that it was used to manage female menstrual pain/conditions in Chinese and Korean cultures. Luckily, the partner’s parents had a few seedlings to give me (they are considered a perennial weed in most western gardens). I made a soup with mugwort, turmeric, shoaxing wine, salt and pepper to taste, and eggs (kinda like a mugwort eggdrop soup) and eat it twice a week or so immediately after my period. The turmeric is anti-inflammatory (inflammation is considered to exasperate the endo conditions so I also went on an anti-inflammatory diet--less red meat and milk)). The mugwort soup helped immensely during the summer months and I tried to dry mugwort for the winter months when it was no longer growing in the garden. However, because I’d just started growing mugwort, I did not have enough to last me through the winter and decided to give these organic mugwort pills a try. They were a good replacement. I take two pills a few times a month after my period (I don’t take them every day). For those who don't like the slightly bitter taste of mugwort, these pills are ideal since you don't have to experience the taste for too long. The feeling I get is similar to how I feel after trying CBD gummies (of which I tried a few times during my quest to manage Endo naturally). Because I like to mult- task, I also tried to induce lucid dreaming during these endo treatment days. I listen to lucid dreaming music on youtube, take these pills, put on relaxing oil diffuser and sleep with an eye mask. I don’t know if I can actually lucid dream (I think I’m too uptight to relax that way) but it definitely is conducive to good sleep. Last note, a bottle lasted me over 3 months and now my mugworts are growing again. I definitely recommend these to try for someone in my situation.

I was having dreams so much that my sleep was restless. This settled the dreams and sleep is more restful

This is my second order of Dream Leaf's mugwort capsules, even though I had not finished the first order earlier in the month. I was an instant fan of these the first night I took them. Although I had heard mugwort tounted by herbalist fans for many years I had not tried it myself until recently. With age and erratic schedule my normal sleep cycles had gotten way out of whack but I'd been under the false impression that older people needed less sleep. Health professionals began to change their tune. So I tried getting my circadian rhythms out of the blues and into fade to black. Melotonin worked for a while but it had to be timed just right to avoid waking up with a sleep drunk hangover. Time went by and I had to up the dosage for a quick knockout but then I'd wake up around 2 am after only about 4 hours sleep. So seeing the lucid dreamers sing its praises I got me some and it worked like a charm. It didn't knock me out like someone had slipped me a mickey. It just relaxed me enough to doze off naturally. I made the mistake of telling my wife and she said: "Let me try some of those." They worked for her too except she commented she'd been have weird dreams after she'd been taking them for a couple of days. I hadn't mentioned that effect to her because my dreams hadn't been any weirder than the ones I normally have. "Well, it does you good to clear the cache at night." I told her. Pretty soon my first order started shrinking fast because we were both using it. So I made another order because I didn't want to run out and lose sleep waiting for the next shipment. The delivery was speedy just as the first one had been. Dream Leaf delivers the goods fast in more ways than one. They also have the best price per quantity for a product of known reliability. That's why I'll be ordering from them again. I'd advise any fence sitters out there not to put off ordering some until tomorrow because the sleep you save could be your own.

Have been trying out this product for the last two weeks. I enjoy the dream world for the most part, so I bought this to enhance it. I definitely feel like I am having a lot of dreams although my memory of them comes and goes. What I can attest to is that the product does give me quite a sound sleep and I love that, but a small drawback is that if I don't give myself the proper amount of time to sleep, say 7 hours or more, then I could wake up feeling a bit sluggish. So overall, great product, but make sure you give yourself the proper amount of time to sleep! (of course, this is just based off my body chemistry, I knowledge everyone's could be different!)
