“Has artemisia come to help us unlock the deep dreams that day to day living has swept seemingly out of reach? Has she come to guard us and protect us while we realign ourselves with the strength of feminine energy? Has she come–with her liver cleansing and digestive tonic– to help ease the pain of those sisters who can not honor their monthly cycle by calling “time-out”? I think she has.”  Mariahadessa Ekere Tallie

Artemisia Moontime Elixir

Ingredients

• ⅓ cup of muddled flower tops and leaves. Dried can be used.
• ¼ cup of seeds (these can still be found on last year’s plants)
• 1/2 cup of chopped root (half to be used in the tincture, half in the decoction)
• Approx. 1/2 cup of high proof alcohol 
• ¼ cup of honey
• 2 cups of water

Directions

• Tincture: Take a small jar, place the leaves, seeds and two tablespoons of your chopped roots inside, then pour over enough alcohol to completely submerge the plant material. Cover and let sit for six weeks in dark place. Give the jar a good shake every week or so.
• After the tincture is ready, you can strain off plant material.
• For the root decoction: Boil 2 cups of water, add the remaining roots and let simmer for 30 minutes (or has boiled down to approximately 1/2 cup of liquid). Let cool and strain.
• Mix the tincture with the root liquid, then add honey, stir well, and rebottle.
• The result can be taken straight up with water or mixed into tea before bed. A tablespoon (or two) should do it!
• Sweet Dreams!
