Wormwood Essential Oil

Wormwood Essential Oil

Wormwood Essential Oil has a bitter, herbaceous character and a long history in traditional herbal and monastic contexts. The oil is steam-distilled from the leaves and twigs of the wormwood plant, creating a concentrated botanical material intended for informed, specialized handling.

Historical and traditional reference

Older reference material describes wormwood as an anointing oil associated with traditional use for wounds and insect bites. It also records historical claims involving melancholy, digestive disorders, elimination processes, and the functioning of the lungs and heart. These statements are preserved as historical context only, are not medically verified recommendations, and should not be used to diagnose, treat, or prevent any condition.

Many ancient monks and nuns used this bitter herb in the form of an elixir, and wormwood appears in early Biblical and first-century Greek and Roman writings. One historical account says the herb was placed in the sandals of Roman warriors to pacify sore feet.

Important safety information

Wormwood Essential Oil is a potent poison because of its high concentration of thujone, a neurotoxin. Do not ingest, use internally, apply topically, diffuse, or use for self-treatment. Keep away from children and pets. Avoid use during pregnancy or nursing, and consult a qualified professional before any specialized handling. Prolonged use should be avoided.
