Wormwood Herb – .5 oz

Description

Botanical Name: Artemisia absinthium

About This Herb: Our Wormwood is carefully harvested at peak potency, then cut and sifted to the perfect consistency for teas and tinctures. The intensely bitter compounds that give this herb its character are preserved through gentle drying methods. This silvery-green perennial has been valued in herbal traditions since ancient times.

Traditional Uses: Wormwood has a long history in European herbalism as a digestive bitter. It’s traditionally taken before or after meals to support healthy digestion and appetite. The herb also features prominently in historic vermouth recipes and botanical liqueurs. Some herbalists value it for its role in occasional digestive discomfort.

How to Prepare: As a tea, steep 1 teaspoon in 8oz hot water for 10-15 minutes. Due to its intense bitterness, many enjoy with honey or blend with mints like peppermint. As a tincture, take 20-40 drops in water before meals. Often combined with other digestive herbs like ginger or fennel.

Safety & Considerations: Not for use during pregnancy or nursing. Not intended for long-term daily use. Contains thujone; use with respect and in moderation. Keep out of reach of children. Consult your healthcare provider before use, especially if taking medication or managing a health condition.
