CURIOSITY: For some practitioners, the actual action of wormwood in hysteria - although it can not be scientifically explained - was known centuries ago. It is curious to compare the terms hysteria and uterus ('antenna' to the world), and Artemisia of Artemis, the Greek divinity who presided over childbirth and helped women.

Too much consumption has the same neurotoxic effects as absinthe. In high doses, it can cause severe poisoning, sometimes fatal (hepato-nephritis accompanied by convulsions).

PROHIBITED during pregnancy, except for the last three weeks, where decoction of mugwort mixed with sage is used to facilitate childbirth.
