	Artemisia (plant) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Artemisia is a large, diverse genus of plants with between 200-400 species belonging to the daisy family Asteraceae.
		Artemisia absinthium (Absinth Wormwood) was used to repel fleas and moths, and in brewing (wormwood beer, wormwood wine).
		In Russian culture, the fact that Artemisia species are commonly used in medicine, and their bitter taste is associated with medicinal effects, has caused wormwood to be seen as a symbol for a "bitter truth" that must be accepted by a deluded (often self-deluded) person.

		The drug, absinthium, is rarely employed, but it might be of value in nervous diseases such as neurasthenia, as it stimulates the cerebral hemispheres, and is a direct stimulant of the cortex cerebri.
		Absinthium occurs in the British Pharmacopoeia in the form of extract, infusion and tincture, and is directed to be extracted also from A.
		It is found in the salt marshes of the British Isles, on the coasts of the Baltic, of France and the Mediterranean, and on saline soils in Hungary; thence it extends eastwards, covering immense tracts in Southern Russia, the region of the Caspian and Central Siberia to Chinese Mongolia.

	Artemisia absinthium (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Artemisia absinthium is a member of the composite family (Compositae: Anthemideae).
		Among the Artemisia, A. absinthium can be identified by the pistillate marginal flowers and perfect, fertile central flowers, a receptacle with long, woolly hairs, a coarse stem, and pinnately dissected leaves with oblong to linear-oblong leaf segments (Britton and Brown 1913, Fernald 1950).
		absinthium is the preferred host of E. cinerosella (Maw and Schroeder 1981), but the extent to which the moth is attracted to native sages is unknown and further research is necessary before it can be considered for use as a control for absinth.

		Artemisia absinthium (Wormwood) and Artemisia abrotanum (Southernwood) are NOT biologically or phytochemically identical, although in many instances they have been used interchangeably.
		I have used A. absinthium on occasion in extremely small measure, (1/20th:1:5) but prefer not to do so if A. abrotanum is available (1/5th:1:5.) Due to concerns re: thujone, I also exclude Achillea if using any of the Artemisias other than A. vulgaris, (Mugwort) substituting Cynara or Berberis spp.
		I would not suggest the use of A. absinthium to a new or nearly new practitioner, if you've not been trained to it - for most people, Mugwort and/or Southernwood are almost as effective and MUCH safer.

	The Knot Garden - Herbs - Artemisia Arbrotanum - Artemisia Absinthium
		A luxurious bush of Southernwood (Artemisia Arbrotanum) grew next to my spectacular childhood sand pit (spectacular because it was formed by the junction of two rock faces in the old stone quarry which my family gardened...) and I would often use a snapped off branch to sweep collapsed castles back into the fold.
		At the time I failed to appreciate what good companions we were, but I’ve since learned that rain washes a growth-inhibiting hormone from Artemisia leaves into the surrounding ground, weakening competition from other plants and doubtless keeping my sand pit free from promiscuous self-seeders.
		She had suffered too many childhood encounters with the herb at the hands of her (otherwise much loved!) grandmother and her bitter recollections of its taste were echoed by the venom with which she spat out the welsh name for it...
