  • Common wormwood (Artemisia absinthium ) is a perennial herb used in the alcoholic beverages absinthe and vermouth. The bitter-tasting plant has been used for centuries for medicinal purposes to reduce pain and swelling and to treat digestion problems, intestinal worms, and skin infections.  Historically it has been found to have anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties which help to support some inflammatory conditions.

     

    Our Wormwood tincture is made from dried artemisia absinthium and vodka.  It is mascerated in the alcohol for 8 weeks plus to ensure a potent extraction.
