Seed Needs Wormwood Seeds for Planting - Non-GMO, Heirloom & Untreated Perennial Herb - Medicinal Herbs for Digestion & Gut Health (10 Packs)

Wormwood (Artemisia absinthium) is a bitter, aromatic herb with a rich history in traditional medicine and folklore. Known for its silvery-green leaves and potent essential oils, it has been used for centuries to aid digestion, stimulate appetite, and repel parasites. Wormwood is also a key ingredient in absinthe, a spirit once shrouded in mystique. While valued for its therapeutic properties, it should be used cautiously due to its strong compounds, like thujone, which can be toxic in high doses. Always consult a healthcare professional before use.
