Wormwood – Traditional Uses & Herbal Information
Share
Wormwood (Artemisia absinthium) has been used for centuries in traditional herbal medicine, prized for its intensely bitter character and long history of use in European and Middle Eastern herbal traditions. One of the most bitter plants known to herbalists, it was a staple of traditional apothecaries and is perhaps best known in the modern era as a key botanical in absinthe — though its herbal heritage runs far deeper than that.
