**Tincture of Wormwood** --Artemisia Absinthium-- Common names: wormwood, common wormwood, absinthium Artimisia Absinthium is a species of wormwood that is a herbaceous, perennial plant. Indigenous to Europe, Asia, and Africa, this species of wormwood has been widely planted in many other areas, including a large portion of North America. There are many different uses for Artimisia Absinthium. Medicinally, it is used as a stomachic, antiseptic, antispasmodic, carminative, cholagogue, febrifuge, tonic, and anthelmintic. Some particular conditions that are treated with wormwood are fever, liver disease, worm infections, labor pain, as well as a variety of digestion problems such as indigestion, gastric pain, loss of apetite, gall bladder disease, upset stomach, and intestinal spasms. It is also sometimes used topically to heal wounds and insect bites, as well as a pain reliever. The oil of the plant has been known to help improve blood circulation as well. Artimisia Absinthium is commonly used to help prevent weed growth and keep bugs away from plants. It is also commonly used as an aphrodisiac to increase sexual desire. This plant has a very characteristic odor and taste. For this reason, it is used in a variety of liqueurs, such as vermouth, bitters, absinthe, and pelinkovac. An interesting fact about wormwood is that in the 18th century, it was sometimes used in place of hops to make beer. This species of wormwood's unique flavor is also the reason that it is used as a primary flavor of the Korean dish songpyeon, as well as a flavor in Moroccan mint tea. This plant's distinct odor is why it is used in a number of cosmetics, soaps, and perfumes. This tincture was created such that it has a strength of 16:3. That means that for every 16 ounces of liquid, three ounces of wormwood leaves were used. The liquid consists of 60% water and 40% grain alcohol v/v (volume per volume). The active compounds of the plant dissolve into the water and the alcohol, while the alcohol also acts as a preservative. This means your tincture will have a shelf life of at least a couple of years. Another benefit of tinctures is that they are absorbed into the bloodstream rapidly. This allows for starting with a small dose, gauging the strength of the effect, and increasing the dose if necessary. Directions: Shake well. Take 10-20 drops under the tongue, no more than 3 times per day. If the taste is difficult to handle, mix the drops in with water or juice and drink the mixture. PLEASE NOTE : wormwood should not be taken as a supplement for extended periods of time. About our tinctures: Pure Health tinctures are a great alternative to herbal teas, capsules, and pills. We pride ourselves on selling the highest quality tinctures available. Pure Health tinctures contain 40% grain alcohol, rather than what has become the industry standard of 30% or less. Alcohol is what ensures that each tincture is completely sterile and free of any bacteria, spores, or microbes. We also use high quality extracts instead of actual plant material to maximize the concentration of the solutions and minimize the amounts of plant material floating in each tincture. To make sure that we are selling the highest quality tinctures on the market, we purchased tinctures from each of the most popular tincture companies and performed thorough analyses on each. Our research showed that our tinctures contain at least 2 times the amount of active ingredients than all of the suppliers we have tested. We make our tinctures with material that is extracted using a far more efficient extraction process than the extraction processes used by other tincture suppliers (typically cold extraction). For example, some claim to use a 1 to 1 ratio of 8 pounds of dried plant material for every 8 pounds (1 gallon) of liquid. Now take a step back and think about this: this dried plant material represents 20% or less of the original weight of the plant and when it is soaked in liquid, it will easily absorb most or all of this liquid. If the manufacturer was able to compress this soaked plant material, only a portion of this liquid would be able to be removed from the plant matter. Even if perfect separation of liquid from plant matter was possible, it would only contain 50% of the valuable constituents of the plant, because in solution there is an equilibrium of active components dispersed between the plant matter and the liquid. Again, this is only in theory, it is actually impossible to extract all of the liquid from the plant matter, so more than 50% of the active constituents would be left unused in the plant matter. Feel free to send us a message if you would like further explanation on this. Other suppliers claim to use large quantities of plant material, but they do not specify whether it is fresh or dry. Fresh plant material contains 80% or more water by weight. We exclusively use dehydrated plant materials to ensure potency, purity, and reliability of strength. We are confident that we provide the highest quality tinctures available. If you are not 100% satisfied with your order, we will either give you a replacement or a full refund.
