Artemisia absinthium essential oil for medicinal use

Artemisia absinthium essential oil

Artemisia absinthium essential oil is a potent distillation of the flowering tops of the wormwood plant, known for its strong, bitter aroma and high concentration of compounds like thujone.

It has been historically used in herbalism for its antiparasitic, antiseptic, and digestive properties. This oil is often diluted and applied topically to treat skin infections or used in aromatherapy to support mental clarity and reduce anxiety. It is also traditionally used in the preparation of absinthe, though its medicinal applications are more focused on internal and external healing.

Due to its potency, it should be used with caution and under the guidance of a qualified herbalist.
