New in our range, now with an introductory discount!
The Latin name is Artemisia annua. Other Dutch names are: Summer Wormwood, Sweet Wormwood, Annual Mugwort or Sweet Annie. It is a large and beneficial, camphor-like-scented, annual plant with a bright green fine leaf and inconspicuous small green-yellow flowers. In China this plant is called Qing Hao and is one of the most important herbs since ancient Chinese times.
The sweet or annual wormwood grows fast just like wild mugwort and has a soft appearance and a striking fresh scent with bright green fern-like leaves and cloudy bright yellow flower clusters. The plant can grow to 2 meters high and is part of a genus with 500 species that grow mainly in temperate climates of Eurasia and North America. Annual mugwort is actually a half shrub and grows on sandy, well-drained, slightly calcareous soil in the sun but tolerates less favorable conditions such as drought and poor soil well. The perennial mugwort multiplies by the seeds being carried by the wind or via the rhizomes. The annual artemisia is less dominant and does not occur in the wild in the Netherlands.
Our Artemisia Annua Hydrolate is of very high quality from Austria.
What is a hydrolate?
Hydrolates (or plant waters) are particularly suitable for sensitive people who cannot tolerate alcohol, for example, the elderly, pregnant women and children. Hydrolates contain a wealth of plant ingredients.
By means of steam, essential oil and hydrolate are extracted from the plant. During the distillation process, a water vapour is created with all the soluble components of the plant. When the water vapour has cooled and been collected, the distillation water consists of two parts. The largest part of the essential oil (fat-soluble) does not combine with the water and remains floating. The rest of the water is then the hydrolate (water part). The essential oil is skimmed off. What remains is the hydrolate.
There is a sprayer on the bottle. If you want a 100 ml pipette for the bottle, look here .
