Wormwood Tablets made from Wormwood Herb (Artemisia absinthium)

What is Wormwood (Artemisia absinthium)?

Most people associate the word “wormwood” with absinthe. Indeed, this strong spirit is distilled from the medicinal plant. Yet Artemisia absinthium has a long tradition of being used for a wide variety of medicinal purposes.

Originally native to the eastern Mediterranean, Europe, and Asia, wormwood prefers roadsides and walls, but it also thrives along streams and riverbanks. The plant has very particular requirements for its environment. If the soil is rich in lime and nutrients, it can grow up to one meter in height.

The bushy semi-shrub with its pale yellow blossoms has fascinated people for thousands of years, mainly due to its enchanting fragrance. As temperatures rise, the tiny oil glands open and release the aromatic essential oils.

For the production of our tablets, we use only the aerial parts of the herb, as they contain the highest levels of bitter compounds. As always with Phönix der Lebenskraft, we place great importance on absolute purity and sustainability of our raw materials.

The versatility of Artemisia absinthium

It is not only the fragrance that has enchanted people for millennia but also the extraordinary 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 dating back to 1600 BC attest to its use against poisoning, paralysis, and eye inflammations.

Hildegard of Bingen also regarded wormwood as one of the most effective medicinal plants, particularly due to its high concentration of bitter substances. In folk medicine, these have long been valued as especially beneficial for the stomach, gallbladder, and liver. Bitter substances stimulate digestion by increasing the secretion of gastric and bile juices. For this reason, Hildegard prescribed wormwood for loss of appetite, bloating, flatulence, and other digestive problems.
