Wormwood, or Artemisia Maritima, is a low maintenance and easy to grow plant. This herb is ideal for beginning herbalists. In the wild, sea wormwood grows along the sea shores of Europe and Asia. Wormwood is a hardy plant that can tolerate drought, maritime exposure and temperatures as low as -15°C. It has a sweet lavender smell but its taste is very bitter. It is easy to identify from a distance thanks to its silver-gray color. It is a flowering plant reaching almost two meters in height. The leaves are narrow, covered with silvery velvety fur. It presents small oblong yellow flowers, containing three to six florets, in August and September. They are hermaphrodites and pollinated by the wind. In the following I will demonstrate my knowledge and ability to care for wormwood. Absinthe is an anthelmintic (wormer), antipyretic (fever reducer), antiseptic, antispasmodic, carminative (anti-gas), emmenagoque (stimulator of blood flow), stimulant (mental and physical acuity), stomach (stimulator of digestion and appetite), tonic and hallucinogenic. It tastes very bitter, so I add sugar in the ratio of 3:1 to make it palatable. The bitterness comes from the excretion of salt water from the leaves. For my purposes, I would use wormwood as a medicinal potion for intermittent fevers and as a dewormer for the wizarding community and magical creatures. In potions, I added cognac and used it as a stomach infusion, emmenagoque and stimulant. Long-term use of this potion can help cure hysterical complaints and hypochondria. Although I know that pure wormwood oil is extremely toxic, wormwood potions are edible if one takes three to five milligrams (mg) daily or in herb form at a dose of two to three mg per day. Essential...... middle of paper......in clusters, spreading the leaves out like a fan so they can be air dried evenly. The best place to hang them is in a shaded outdoor space. The drying temperature must be constantly around 21°C. On average, I find that each plant yields about 0.35% semi-dried herb. Once they are finished drying, I immediately store them in airtight glass jars and place them in my storage room. Even though this plant is relatively easy to grow, you still need to make sure it gets a sufficient amount of sun and humidity as well as the right type. of soil. Wormwood will spread, so you need to monitor it closely and prevent it from taking over the garden. Due to its highly toxic nature, care must be taken to protect both the plant and living things. As long as one is aware of the possible problems this plant can cause, one should be very successful growing wormwood..
