Absinthe Essential Oil
Absinthe Artemisia absinthium is also known by the names Green Ginger, Southernwood, Old Woman, Wormwood, and Absinthium. Native to Europe, North Africa, and Western Asia, this herb is now cultivated in the United States and elsewhere. The alternate name wormwood was almost certainly derived from its medicinal property of expelling intestinal worms for which it has been well known since ancient times. It was also used as an insect repellent, insecticide which can be used in gardens and on pets. Absinthe was also helpful in treating gall bladder inflammation, hepatitis, jaundice, fever, infections, and mild depression. Absinthe may also protect the liver from harmful chemicals and stimulate menstruation or miscarriage. It has been used to treat the pains associated with childbirth, muscle aches, arthritic joints, sprains, and broken bones. Pure Absinthe oil is poisonous. Relatively small doses may cause nervous disorders, convulsions, insomnia, nightmares, and other symptoms. Do not take large doses. Contraindicated in pregnancy. If you are pregnant, do not use absinthe essential oil.
