Mugwort infused oils & Mugwort Motchi

A mugwort adventure.

This Week on the Wildcraft Series: Making Mugwort Infused Oils (Video included)

[Excerpt from paid post]

Infused oils are one of my favourite ways to use Mugwort. I use it as an oil for applying directly to the skin for meditation, dreaming and visioning by applying to the third eye centre, between the eyebrows.

I also use it for learning disorders particularly dyslexia. I came to this after reading Matthew Wood’s ‘The Earthwise Herbal: A complete guide to old world medicinal plants’ in which he credits Dorothy Hall as using Mugwort for “highly intelligent people with complex thoughts that are difficult to describe, speech disorders and dyslexia, highly elevated senses, sensitivity to light and sound with great difficulty getting to sleep. It is suited to to people in whom the intuitive, psychic, psychological, creative and artistic side of the mind is highly developed, but who have trouble with expression, or with the world around them.”

For these people a cup of Mugwort tea especially before bed or when anxious can also be very beneficial.

In this post you will learn all about making infused mugwort oil during different moon phases plus 4 different ways to make infused oils.

How to make Make Yomogi Mochi (Mugwort Mochi)

In researching Mugwort I came across this beautiful website where they share a recipe for Yomogi Mochi, Japanese mugwort mochi. If you have not had mochi it is a Japanese sweet similar to marshmallow made from pounded rice flour. It often has a centre filled with things like sweet red bean paste, peanut butter or green tea paste.

According American herbalist Matthew Wood Mugwort mochi it was traditionally used to provide stamina and was given to new mothers after giving birth to reduce postpartum bleeding and anemia and to promote lactation.

It should be avoided during pregnancy
