The genus name Artemisia reflects the name of the Greek goddess Artemis, the protectress of mothers in childbirth. The epithet \"absinthium\" comprises the Greek \"apsinthion\" (= wormwood). It is unsure, however, whether this term came from the Greek \"a\" (= no) and \"psinthos\" (= pleasure), which would be entirely justified, because the leaves are very bitter. It also remains open whether the name \"wormwood\" is made from \"warm\" or \"worm\" as its use as a vermifuge is in the name. The shrub of up to 1m high bears very characteristic 2 - to 3-fold pinnatipartite leaves with very narrow leaflets, densely hairy on both sides with white-silky hairs. The small, globular yellow flower heads are arranged in panicles. Flowering time is July to September. When rubbed, the herb releases a very aromatic scent through the ial oil it contains.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMedicinally used plant parts \u003cbr\u003e The blossoming upper branch tips with their characteristic, very aromatic scent are used.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"O'Neill Seeds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50518417080570,"sku":"ARTAB","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0573\/0038\/5981\/files\/il_fullxfull.1574929354_m7m2.jpg?v=1790090660","url":"https:\/\/www.theamericangringo.com\/de\/products\/500-artemisia-absinthium-seeds-wormwood-oneill-seeds","provider":"The American Gringo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
