On Wormwood, from Hortulus
Comments

I've never heard of using Wormwood for headaches. Or using a garland of it.

Nice! Another reason to love wormwood.

I really like this - put this on my list to plant htis year - would like to try this very much.

Northern Wormwood (Artemisia campestris) is native (and abundant) in my area and is almost identical to A. absinthium. I did not know about this use for headaches. I make a tincture every year in isopropyl alcohol to use as an anti-fungal for athlete's foot or toe nail fungus and to make a liniment which is 50/50 wormwood tincture and cottonwood bud tincture (also done in isopropyl). Wonderful scent. You will recognize the scent of wormwood tincture if you are familiar with Absorbine,
Thanks for posting these tidbits, @judsoncarroll4.
