Wormwood ( Artemisia Absinthium ) 1L Container

Wormwood (Artemisia absinthium)
Wormwood has a long history of use in European and Middle Eastern herbal traditions, famously as a digestive tonic and key ingredient in absinthe. Traditionally, it was valued for supporting digestion, clearing parasites, and enhancing mental clarity.

Herbally, Wormwood is a bitter digestive, antimicrobial, and nervine, helping to stimulate appetite, soothe digestive stagnation, and support liver and gallbladder function. Key constituents include absinthin, thujone, flavonoids, and essential oils, which contribute to its bitter, cleansing, and slightly stimulating effects.

Energetically, Wormwood is warming, drying, and dispersing, making it useful for sluggish digestion, dampness, or mental fog.

In traditional correspondences, it is linked with Saturn, the element of Earth, and is considered a masculine herb, supporting strength, purification, and boundaries.

Wormwood is a perennial herb with silvery-green leaves and small yellow-green flowers. The aerial parts are best harvested before flowering, when the bitterness and active compounds are most concentrated.

⚠ Cautions: Not recommended during pregnancy. High doses may be toxic due to thujone content. Use with care if taking medications for liver or nervous system conditions.
