#sweetwormwood

This autumn, I harvested a lot of sweet wormwood (Artemisia annua). I dried most of it for tea and made one liter of vodka tincture.

Did you know that it's:
- anti-parasitic and anti-malarial
- antiviral, antibacterial, antimicrobial, and antifungal
- immunomodulatory
- anti-carcinogenic
- anti-obesity
etc.?

There is a tea plate on the table with a handful of dried sweet wormwood flowers. To the left of the saucer is a small teacup half-filled with tea that is the same color as the dried herb. In the background is the black lid of a glass jar labeled in Slovenian: "Sladki pelin, '25."

Dude! No, it's not what you might think, it's sweet annie (Artemisia annua) that grows nearly as weeds in the garden but, as I get high demand for it from friends, I've collected and am now drying for storage roughly 10 kg of it on a 1 x 1 m tarp. I mean, that's a lot of medicinal, herbal tea!! We also won't need any incense in the house for the foreseeable future, I'm sure 😂 (I find its smell pleasant though).

A 1 by 1 meter green tarp full of sweet annie aka sweet wormwood, sweet sagewort, annual mugwort, annual wormwood,... collected immediately after its blooming stage when it's loaded with goodness. Plant has extremely long season (~250 days) for a temperate CE zone (hardiness zone 8b) and it doesn't manage to get to this late stage of development healthy every year. It did this year though.
