Product Description

Wormwood Herb  or   Ajenjo  or  Absinth    1  oz to 1 lb
Effects Wormwood is a psychic stimulant. The effect of wormwood is narcotic, lightly anaesthetic, giving a peaceful and relaxing feeling. In combination with alcohol or in larger dosages hallucinations might occur. Wormwood is suitable for making tea, which has a positive effect during post-flu or post-infectious periods. In small doses wormwood is a remedy against common cold, rheumatism and tapeworm. It also increases the appetite.

Usage A common way to use wormwood is to make tea of it. Soak 1 teaspoon in a cup of hot (non-boiling) water. The tea has a bitter taste, which hardly can be avoided. You can mix it with peppermint leaves or anise. However sweet can't be combined with bitter, so don't mix your tea with sugar. To make absinthe, soak 40 grams (1½ oz.) of wormwood for a couple of weeks in ½ liter of liquor (for instance Pernod). After sifting it, the drink is ready for use. Try a little glass first to make sure of the dosage.

Warning Wormwood is poisonous. Long and intensive use can lead to addiction, corporal and psychical decline and it can lead to nervosity, restlessness and cramps. High doses can cause headaches and dizziness. Higher doses are psycho-activating and have a paralyzing effect. Intoxication effects due to overdose are arbitrary stools, unconsciousness, coma and death. After making absinthe, try one small glass at first and wait about an hour for the effect. Try it again at another opportunity. Better to dose too less with no effects than too much, risking poisoning yourself or making yourself sick. Do not drive motorized vehicles under the influence of wormwood.

Artemesia absinthium Clasificación botánica

Es una herbácea perenne que perteneca a la familia Asteraceae. Historia

El ajenjo se sabe que ha sido utilizado desde hace años para la preparación de ciertas bebidas alcoholicas, las mas populares el vermout y el "ajenjo" o absenta. En la antigua Grecia también se la concía.

En el 1800 eran muy populares en europa, en donde su abuso indiscriminado ha causado daño cerebral en algunos consumidores y hasta incluso resultados fatales.

En el principio del siglo XX estas bebidas fueron proscriptas aunque los aceites se continuaron usando como condimentos para las comidas.

Principios Activos

El aceite escencial contiene una toxina llamada tujona, una muy pequeña cantidad de esta toxina está presente en los tés de ajenjo o las tinturas.

Tiene poder antibacteriano, insecticida, larvicida, emenagogo y abortifaciente.

Otros compuestos hallados en las hojas son:

Artemetina, antiedémico, antiinflamatorio y antipalúdico.

Ácido ascórbico, acidulante, inhibidor de la aldosa reductasa, antiasmático, analgésico, antídoto de algunos metales.

Beta-carotenos, alergeno, antiacnéico, anticanceroso.

Beta-tujona, abortifaciente, antibacteriano, insectifugo, pesticida.

Azulenos, antiinflamatorio, antileucotrienos, antipirético, antiséptico.

Isoquercitrina, inhibidor de la aldosa reductasa, anticanceroso, antioxidante, anti alopécico, diurético.

Usos

En fitoterapia se utilizan las hojas, las flores, y el aceite que se obtiene de ellas.

Si bien el aceite de ajenjo es de alto poder destructivo para los áscaris lumbricoides (una forma de parasitosis) presenta un alto riesgo de toxicidad para el sistema nervioso.

Se lo encuentra útil para el tratamiento de las siguientes dolencias: indigestiones, inflamaciones de la vesícula y en síndrome del colon irritable.

También para combatir cuadros de pérdida de apetito y estimular la menstruación.

La cantidad de ajenjo suministrada en un tratamiento en forma de té es de aproximadamente 5 gramos de la hoja en cada taza de unos 250 cl. de agua hirviendo a la que se deja enfriar por 10 minutos.

Las prescripciones suelen ser de 3 tazas al día durante una semana o cinco días.

Efectos adversos y contraindicaciones

Su abuso ha causado estragos que han quedado registrados históricamente.

Su uso prolongado por mas de un mes causa adicción y es posible que también ocurra un daño cerebral.

La administración por términos de hasta dos semanas no ha reportado hasta la fecha casos de efectos coalterales.

Entre los primeros síntomas en aparecer están: náuseas, vértigo, vómitos, insomnio, tremores y convulsiones.

Debe consultarse a un profesional antes de hacer uso de esta hierba.

Su administración está contraindicada durante el embarazo y la lactancia.
