Absinth Oil
Whatsapp Order
Absinth Oil, also known as Wormwood Essential Oil, is a highly aromatic essential oil extracted through steam distillation from the leaves and flowering tops of the Artemisia absinthium plant. Native to Europe and Asia and known historically for its use in absinthe liqueur, this oil features a sharp, bitter, herbaceous aroma with a green and slightly medicinal edge. Rich in thujone, chamazulene, and other bioactive compounds, Absinth Oil is known for its antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and digestive-stimulating properties.
While traditionally associated with herbal medicine and ritualistic use, modern applications of Absinth Oil span personal care, pharmaceuticals, and natural pest repellents. Due to its intensity and potential toxicity in high concentrations, it is used in very controlled amounts in fragrance and therapeutic blends. It is valued for its distinctive scent and potent botanical properties, particularly in cosmetics, aromatherapy, and natural cleaning formulations.
