Wormwood Tincture (1:4) What is Wormwood (Artemisia absinthium)? Most people associate the word “wormwood” with absinthe. In fact, this strong alcoholic spirit is also distilled from the medicinal plant. Yet Artemisia absinthium has a long tradition of use for a wide range of medicinal purposes. Wormwood is originally native to the Eastern Mediterranean, Europe, and Asia. The herb prefers roadsides and walls, but it also thrives along streams and rivers. Wormwood has very specific requirements for its environment: if the soil is rich in lime and nutrients, the plant can reach a height of up to one meter. This bushy semi-shrub with its pale yellow blossoms has fascinated people for thousands of years, mainly because of its heavenly fragrance. As temperatures rise, the tiny oil glands open and release the plant’s aromatic essential oils. For the production of our tinctures, we use only the aerial parts of the herb, as they have been shown to contain the highest concentration of bitter substances. As always with Phönix der Lebenskraft, we place great emphasis on absolute purity and sustainability of our raw materials. The versatility of Artemisia absinthium It is not only the unique fragrance that has enchanted humanity for thousands of years, but also the remarkable versatility of wormwood. With its high content of essential oils and bitter substances, Artemisia absinthium was already considered one of the most important plants in ancient Egypt. Records from around 1600 BC describe its special powers and report that it was successfully used at that time for poisoning, paralysis, and eye inflammations. Hildegard of Bingen also considered wormwood one of the most powerful medicinal plants, mainly because of its high content of bitter substances. In folk medicine, these were valued as particularly beneficial for the stomach, gallbladder, and liver. Bitter substances stimulate digestion by increasing the production of gastric and bile juices. For this reason, Hildegard recommended wormwood for loss of appetite, bloating, flatulence, and other digestive complaints.
