A little history...

There are about 200 species of the Artemisia genus, which bloom in late summer with countless tiny, insignificant flowers; the wind is responsible for pollination.

It owes its name to the Greek goddess Artemis, great protector of women, considered the symbol of happiness.

Used by our ancestors at the time of childbirth and during pregnancy as protection, the leaves were used to make amulets and perfumes to ward off evil spirits, and poultices protected them from bites.

Each plant has its own particular moment of maximum alchemical power; in the case of Artemisia, this occurs during nights of the full moon.

These are good times to collect the plant, due to its connection with the deep and secret energies of the telluric currents of Mother Earth.

Its transmuting power is its ability to neutralize negative energies and catalyze positive ones.

The entire plant of artemisia is used, from the leaves to the root, they are called medicinal bitters, it is one of its active ingredients in addition to the volatile essential oils that exert a stimulating and fortifying effect on the entire digestive system, promoting bile flow.

From here we will focus on the most common species and those with the most medicinal uses.
