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