The Absinthe Herb

Wormwood has a long history in folk medicine and is best known as the key botanical in absinthe, the drink long associated with artists.

Classic wormwood (Artemisia absinthium) is thujone-rich; the source lists Artemisia scoparia, so the exact species should be confirmed. Either way, wormwood is a potent oil for strictly limited use.
