said an artemesia pillow helps with sleep. That is idiotic, at best.

I didn't say Mugwort helps with sleep - I said it promotes dreaming. The
caution would be that the dreams are not guaranteed to be pleasant.

Is there a lick of evidence to support this claim? And no, I am not
talking about major scientific study, just some sort of proof. My
whold point was not to point out the artemesia, but to point out the
potential dangers of using herbs without fully researching the
potential side effects. That's all. Not rocket science and certainly
not a lecture. You weren't the one I aimed my comments to, but if it
appeared that way or if I'm wrong, I apologize.
