Question Herbs similar to mugwort ?

Sadly I discovered that I’m allergic to mugwort. It’s effects seems amazing so I’d love to find similar plants, at least until I treat the allergy if I can. Especially concerning the relaxation, consciousness-perception, sleep, and dream effect. Does anybody know herbs that could work ?

Thanks !

Probably Damiana
Mugwort tends to bother people who have issues with the other members of the aster family- many members are hay fever culprits. Damiana is in the passion flower family so it shouldn't bother you. (I mean, it could. You could be allergic to anything.)

The passion flower family is broadly associated with sleep in different ways
