Essential Oil - Wormwood

E-mail this product to a friend

In Europe, Wormwood herb has been used in association with superstition and witchcraft and was seen as a protective charm against evil and danger. This Wormwood Essential Oil is made from organic plants cultivated under controlled conditions in the USA, assuring quality and potency. It's extremely popular as a fragrance component in soaps, colognes and perfumes, but has limited use in flavoring due to potentially toxic levels of thujone.

Yes, this Wormwood Essential Oil has a high concentration of Thujone, which is the the active component in Absinthe, the infamous drink that was banned in the USA in 1915, and was only recently made legal in mid-2007. As a result, it's not wise to use this essential oil in any kind of absinthe recipes, as it has a different use and purpose. It's listed as an oral toxin, due to high thujone content and can be toxic in large quantities.

Neutral rating because I haven't tried it yet. I want to know how may drops would be needed in a liter of booze to approximate the amount of thujone in US absinthe (~10mg/liter).

This product WORKS. Only one drop... let me repeat this.... ONE DROP is all it takes to wake me up in the morning. I put one drop on the tip of my tobacco cigarette or in my smoking herbs and it feels like I've been up for several hours. Beats the stuffing out of caffeine. Also, a few more drops makes for quite an interesting day... although much more than that can have some negative side-effects. Still... when used correctly AND sparingly... this is by far, the most POTENT of ALL the products I have tried from this site. Hands-down...
