✧Herbal Energetics & Traditional Uses

Wormwood is known for its bold bitterness—a flavor that signals deep action. Long revered in traditional herbal systems, it has been used to support the body's natural rhythms of clarity, cleansing, and digestion, particularly when the system feels sluggish or overwhelmed.

Its name, “wormwood,” reflects its age-old association with purifying rituals and bitter tonics crafted to support internal realignment and renewal. In traditional European herbalism, it was often used in seasonal transitions and to support digestive fire.

Energetically, wormwood is considered drying, cooling, and highly stimulating, making it a powerful ally when things feel stuck or clouded.
