Botanical Name: Artemisia Absinthium
Country of Origin: Hungary
English Name: Wormwood Herb Powder
French Name: Absinthe en Poudre
Also Known As: Common Wormwood Powder
Part Used: Aerial parts (leaves, stems, and flowering tops) of Artemisia absinthium
Description: Wormwood Herb Powder is produced from the dried aerial parts of Artemisia absinthium, a hardy perennial plant native to Europe and western Asia and widely cultivated in temperate regions worldwide. The plant typically grows between 60 and 120 centimetres tall, developing upright branching stems covered in fine silvery-grey hairs. Its deeply divided, soft-textured leaves display a distinctive grey-green colour, while small pale yellow flower heads appear in loose clusters during mid to late summer. Harvesting is carried out when the plant reaches full maturity to ensure consistent colour, structure, and botanical quality.
After harvesting, the herb is carefully cleaned to remove natural debris. Drying is performed using controlled air or low-temperature methods to preserve the plant’s natural tones and delicate structure. Once fully dried, the material is finely milled into a smooth, uniform powder. This process maintains the botanical identity of Artemisia absinthium while creating a free-flowing powdered form suitable for blending and formulation.
The finished Wormwood Herb Powder displays a soft grey green to light olive colour with a fine, consistent texture. The powder remains stable during storage, retaining its natural appearance and mild herbaceous aroma. The powdered format allows for precise measuring, easy mixing, and uniform distribution in various applications.
Uses: Wormwood Herb Powder is commonly used in tea-style preparations, powdered herbal blends, and botanical formulations where finely milled plant material is preferred. It is also suitable for cosmetic formulations, bath products, craft projects, natural colouring applications, and educational collections demonstrating perennial herb characteristics. The powdered format supports accurate portioning, smooth blending with other ingredients, and versatile use in both home and professional environments, offering consistent quality and visually uniform plant material.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place in a sealed container.
