What is Wormwood — Oregon-Grown?

This is wildcrafted, Oregon-grown Artemisia absinthium, the famously bitter aromatic herb in the daisy family (Asteraceae) historically known as the defining botanical of absinthe.

About the plant

This batch is grown and wildcrafted here in Oregon rather than imported, which makes it a small-scale, local harvest of the same silver-green bitter herb. Its characteristic compound is thujone.
