Content 100 ml Artemisia annua Forte botanical extract   Artemisia annua: annual mugwort   Artemisia annua—also known as annual mugwort—is a remarkable plant with a fascinating history and many distinctive characteristics. Originally native to the steppe regions of Central Asia, this resilient herb has since established itself in many parts of the world. Adaptability and growth The plant is highly adaptable and thrives in a range of conditions. It prefers sunny locations and copes well with poor soils. In the wild, it is often found along riverbanks or on fallow land, where it can quickly form large stands. Artemisia annua can reach heights of up to two metres and develops finely divided, aromatic leaves. Its small yellow-green flowers appear in late summer and are wind-pollinated. The plant produces a large number of tiny seeds that are easily dispersed by wind and water. Traditional use and modern interest In traditional medicine across various cultures, Artemisia annua has played an important role for centuries. It is particularly valued in Chinese traditions and has been used in many contexts. In recent years, it has also attracted modern scientific interest, especially because of its distinctive plant constituents. Aromatic qualities The characteristic scent of Artemisia annua—often described as herbal and camphor-like—also makes it an interesting culinary and aromatic herb. In some regions, it is used to flavour beverages or as a seasoning in cooking. Growing it at home For home gardeners, Artemisia annua is an exciting option to cultivate a historically significant and versatile plant.

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.   Application – Artemisia annua Please note that Artemisia annua may currently not be sold as a food product in the EU according to the Novel Food Regulation. For use as a room aroma. Open the 100 ml Miron violet glass bottle and place the desired number of fragrance sticks into the bottle neck — the number of sticks determines the intensity of the aroma in the room.

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. Ingredients Annual mugwort leaves (Artemisia annua)*.*from our own cultivation.
