History and folklore

Wormwood is associated with the Moon and Artemis. This is evidenced even by another name for wormwood - artemisia (Artemisia vulgaris), which indicates a close relationship with Artemis - the Greek goddess of the moon, the patroness of young girls, children, helping women in childbirth.

Since ancient times, wormwood has been used in rituals associated with healing, restoring and maintaining health, cleansing space, as well as in divination.

In Scandinavian mythology, wormwood was associated with the god Thor¹ and the festival of the summer solstice. Thor wore a protective belt made of wormwood, which protected him from all dangers in his travels.

In pre-Christian times, it was customary to wear such a belt made of wormwood during the dance around the fire on the night of the solstice. At the end of the night, he was solemnly burned in the sacred flame of a fire, it was believed that in this way the wormwood protected from the forces of evil for another year.

In addition to protection, Thor used wormwood to restore and relieve leg fatigue after a long walk. There is evidence that walkers and journeymen have been using herbs for centuries. They tied wormwood around their feet to help them walk, or took a wormwood foot bath after a long day's work to relieve fatigue.

Fixing branches of wormwood over the doors was considered a powerful defense of the house from evil forces.

Ancient healers used it if a person did not have enough internal fire: for kidney diseases, with poor digestion, with constant cold in the legs and hands, as a diaphoretic.

Wormwood is also an excellent digestive tonic that gently stimulates (and warms up) the digestive processes. However, it should be avoided in acute inflammatory diseases.

Another ancient and documented use, though long forgotten, is in the treatment of epilepsy. Recent Chinese studies have uncovered some very interesting antimalarial properties of wormwood.

Attention! Wormwood is not a panacea, you should consult a specialist before using it.

In Anglo-Saxon Britain, priests used wormwood to heal people who fell victim to the "fairy shot." This term was used when people fell ill with an unknown disease. It was believed that such a disease was caused by subtle invisible forces - "invisible arrows of fairies."

In the ancient Bald's Leechbook (English manuscript containing various instructions for treatment), dated from the 9th century, it is recommended to use wormwood to get rid of the possession of evil spirits, the recipe recommends heating a stone in a fireplace and splashing an infusion of wormwood on it, and the patient should inhale this couple.

Fresh wormwood juice is used both for medicinal purposes and to stimulate appetite.
