Isn't mugwort bitter? And mildly hypnotic, which as long as you know, is fine?
I didn't taste much bitterness which may be du to cooking it. I never heard it was hypnotic and didn't feel any effect. I eat about a handful of it tonight and the same amount yesterday. It was the first time I eat it. Is this an effect of commun mugwort or chinese mugwort?
I also consider common mugwort to be a bit hypnotic. It's worked with to produce vivid dreams, better dream recall, and lucid dreaming as well.
