Afsanteen,

Description

Afsanteen, also known as Artemisia absinthium or wormwood, is a herb with a long history of medicinal and culinary use. It’s most famous for its role in the production of absinthe, a strong alcoholic drink that was popular in the 19th and early 20th centuries.

In traditional medicine, wormwood has been used to treat various ailments, including digestive issues, menstrual problems, and parasitic infections. Its bitter taste is thought to stimulate digestion and appetite. However, it should be used with caution, as high doses or long-term use can lead to toxicity and other health issues.

In modern herbalism, wormwood is often used in combination with other herbs to support digestive health and to help with conditions like bloating and indigestion. As always with herbal remedies, it’s wise to consult a healthcare provider before starting any new treatment.
