Probably best known as the principle ingredient in the infamous Absinthe drink, wormwood has been used medicinally since at least the days of ancient Greece.
It’s an extremely bitter herb - absinthium meaning literally “without sweetness” - and makes a fabulous digestive tonic. Contains azulene compounds which have anti-inflammatory actions, sesquiterpene lactones which show antitumor and insecticidal action, and thujones which seem largely responsible for its stimulating psychic effects.
An easily grown, hardy perennial (Zone 4) with lovely, aromatic, silvery-green foliage maturing to about 3 feet.
