Description
Artemisia absinthium, better known as wormwood, is an herb that has been used for centuries to relieve digestive problems. Wormwood’s distinctly bitter taste is no accident; it contributes directly to its medicinal properties. The Latin name “Artemisia absinthium” is derived from the Greek “apsinthion,” meaning “without sweetness”-indicating the intense bitterness that makes this herb so unique. Wormwood contains several active compounds, including thujone, which is responsible for absinthe’s characteristic taste.
