Wormwood
Wormwood (Artemisia absinthium) is a powerful aromatic herb best known for its digestive-supporting properties. With its distinctly bitter taste and high essential oil content, this medicinal plant is commonly used in herbal teas, botanical blends, natural remedies, and in the production of certain liqueurs — most notably absinthe.
At Tuna Spice, we offer wormwood carefully harvested from natural habitats and dried under hygienic conditions, available in both whole and cut forms.
