Foraging Mugwort in the SF Bay Area | Dream-Inducing Herb You Can Find on Any Trail

Mugwort (Artemisia) is one of the most common and useful wild plants you can find along trails in the California Bay Area, especially in spring. In this video I show you how to identify it by its distinctive silvery leaf underside, and share how I use it — from brewing fresh mugwort tea to drying it as a seasoning for soups and stocks, where it works similarly to oregano.
Mugwort has a long history as a medicinal plant and is widely known for its dream-inducing properties. Many people drink it as a tea before bed or place it under their pillow to enhance vivid dreaming.
