Im Sommer beginnt bei uns die Erntesaison und wie schon der letzte Monat stand auch der August ganz unter dem Zeichen der Artemisia annua auf unserem Hof in Südfrankreich. Die Pflanze, die wir jedes Jahr großflächig auf mehreren Feldern anbauen, haben wir in diesem Jahr besonders früh im Gewächshaus ausgesät. Nachdem die Samen allerdings nicht so gut gekeimt waren wie in den vergangenen Jahren, haben wir sie im Februar und März mehrmals nachgesät. Die kleinen Pflänzchen streckten schließlich doch viele grüne Keimblätter der Sonne entgegen und wir konnten unsere Artemisia erst pikieren, bevor wir im April die Artemisia-Pflänzchen dann aufs Feld gebracht haben.
Mit einer guten Mischung aus warmem Wetter samt Sonnenschein, Niederschlägen und der nötigen Bewässerung sind die schönen einjährigen Pflanzen gut herangewachsen. Die Ernte ist nun eine arbeitsreiche Zeit, mit einem alten Traktor, der mit einem historischen Mähdrescher versehen ist, ernten wir die reifen Pflanzen, die anschließend getrocknet und zu verschiedenen Produkten verarbeitet werden. Momentan ernten wir die Artemisia circa zweimal pro Woche und werden damit noch ein paar Wochen gut beschäftigt sein.
Artemisia annua, Einjähriger Beifuß
Artemisia annua (Einjähriger Beifuß) ist eine bitter schmeckende Pflanze. Bei uns in der Kräutermanufaktur wird sie unter anderem zu Tinkturen und Salben weiterverarbeitet, wir haben aber auch die getrockneten Blätter und Saatgut vom Hof im Sortiment.
Neben unserer Hauptpflanze haben wir im August außerdem eine Menge der Teekulturen für die wohltuenden Teemischungen der sanften Gärtnerin geerntet und getrocknet. Außerdem konnten wir Koriander einbringen, der nun in Tinkturen seine Bestimmung finden kann, sowie neue Zitronenmelisse-Pflänzchen auf dem Feld auspflanzen. In dieser arbeitsreichen und bewegten Saison freuen wir uns immer wieder über die viele begeisterte Unterstützung, die wir hier am Hof erhalten und genießen den Sommer gemeinsam mit unseren lieben BesucherInnen!

Information & Use

Artemisia annua leaves are excellent for incense burning. For best results, we recommend the following steps:
Prepare a fireproof incense bowl by sprinkling a little sand inside.
Carefully light an incense charcoal from the side over a flame.
Once the spark has traveled about halfway through the charcoal and it starts to glow, place it on the sand in the bowl.
Wait until the spark has spread through the entire charcoal. Then sprinkle about three pinches of Artemisia annua leaves on top.
Gently waft the rising smoke through the room using a fan or feather.
When the herbal scent fades, carefully remove the residue from the charcoal with a knife and add fresh leaves.
Ensure good ventilation by opening a window to let the smoke disperse.
After burning, extinguish the charcoal with water or let it cool completely before disposing of it.
A typical incense session lasts between ten and twenty minutes, depending on the amount used. Enjoy the relaxing and soothing atmosphere created by the incense smoke.

Artemisia annua: Annual mugwort
Artemisia annua, commonly known as annual mugwort, belongs to the genus Artemisia and the daisy family (Asteraceae). This plant originated in the temperate regions of Asia—especially China—and has since spread to many regions worldwide.
The herbaceous, sun-loving plant grows into a large bush in summer, reaching heights of up to 2 m. It features yellow-green, long-stalked leaves and delicate white-to-pink blossoms. Artemisia annua blooms from June to August.
This annual plant is known for its distinctive, aromatic scent, often described as fresh and spicy. Its blend of herbal, spicy, and slightly sweet notes comes from the many essential oils found in Artemisia annua.
Annual mugwort grows best in temperate to subtropical climates and needs well-draining soil and plenty of sunlight. It can be cultivated in pots or in the garden. For optimal growth, regular watering and weed removal are important. Timely harvesting before flowering and proper cutting are especially important to preserve the plant’s valuable constituents.

Organic Vegetable Glycerin as Extraction Medium
Organic glycerin, also known as vegetable glycerol, is a transparent liquid with a viscous consistency and a mild, slightly sweet taste. The professional extraction and processing method ensures an optimal and safe composition for cosmetic and food products. With a high purity of 99% and organic quality derived from vegetable oils, it is an ideal complement for various types of organic products.
One biological method of producing glycerin involves using organic flaxseed. Organic vegetable glycerin is obtained through the hydrolysis of vegetable oils and fats. It was reportedly discovered over 200 years ago by the Swedish pharmacist and chemist Scheele during a saponification process using olive oil. In production, oil-rich vegetable fats are mixed under pressure with a strong alkali, separating the glycerin from the fatty acids.
Due to its properties similar to alcohol — being soluble in both fats and water — glycerin is ideal for extracting a wide variety of plant compounds. In addition to its preservative qualities, glycerin also has hygroscopic properties and a mild antimicrobial effect.
Thanks to its organic quality and proper dosage, organic glycerin can be safely used in food products. Our organic glycerin is made exclusively from certified organic raw materials and is palm-oil free.
