Absinthe and Wormwood have been used a medicinal remedies for hundreds of years. Absinthe has a bitter foliage that was believed to stimulate stomach acid and bile production, and thus was prescribed for stomach aches and those with underactive digestive systems. Artemisia should not be eaten as it is toxic if used improperly.
This Artemesia is currently growing in several spots throughout the MOSI gardens and has provided lovely silver foliage throughout the cooler months.
