Descriptive help.. And mint leaves.

**Silence** · 05-07-2010 12:44 AM

I have been looking for some mugwort because it's hard for me to get anything online with a mom who's afraid of the internet and money... Well I need a better description of it and I know it grows basically everywhere so could you help me?

I've pick out what looks to be it but never want to try it in risk of some poisoning...

And mint leaves... I grow two types... Pineapple mint and regular potent mint... I'm going to put them in my tea and see if it's will help my dreams.

Has anyone ever had any results from mint leaves or roots??? I have them drying outside as we speak. I'm a little new to ethnobotanicals but find them extremely interesting. I'm trying to get some Calea online...Idk if i can trick my mom into it hah.

Help with the wormwood please

I think that this one could be hard to identify if you aren't already good at that sort of thing. The leaves are the most striking feature. They are very triangular. If you do a "Google images" search you can probably id it. I'd save my money on the Calea and simply order a live plant of the mugwort.

I feel you on the mom thing though. I bet she's the religious type. I grew up in the Bible belt....ugg.. Anyways good luck. I'd say just be open with her and use reason but the religious types seem to be pretty immune to reason.

I got her to buy them

I have 4 trying to germinate outside right now

I think i'll do a good job with them! Ima let them grow then see if i can get a next plant... mugwort or skullcap!

Skullcap will help my insomnia problem ima mix them in a tea.

Just go and buy the seeds somwhere... this can't be too expensive and even if you live in the middle of nowhere you could ask a friend or sneak out a family shopping trip etc... be creative!
