Sweet wormwood tincture is a concentrated herbal preparation made from the above-ground parts of sweet wormwood (Artemisia annua). It is prepared by cold maceration, which helps retain a broad range of naturally occurring plant compounds in the tincture.
The alcohol strength is carefully chosen to extract different components of the plant. As a solvent, alcohol carries these compounds into the liquid preparation.

Sweet wormwood (Artemisia annua)
Sweet wormwood is an annual aromatic plant with finely divided, light green leaves and a distinctive scent. It grows quickly, producing abundant foliage in summer. Herbalists value its characteristic bitter aroma and varied plant compounds.
It belongs to the daisy family (Asteraceae). For our tincture, we use the above-ground parts of the plant (herba), harvested when the plant is well developed.
Sweet wormwood originates from Asia and is now grown in other parts of the world. Its strong aroma and place in different herbal traditions have made it a familiar plant in modern herbalism.
It continues to attract the interest of herbalists and researchers alike. We value it as a distinctive plant with a long history of traditional use and a character all its own.

Why is Sweet Wormwood Tincture registered as a cosmetic product rather than a food supplement?
Sweet wormwood is a plant with a long tradition of herbal use, but there are no approved health claims for its use in food supplements in the European Union. For this reason, such products cannot be classified as food supplements.
In order for us to continue preparing the tincture in the traditional way and offering it as part of our range, it is registered as a cosmetic product. In this way, we remain true to the plant while also respecting the applicable guidelines.
Was a medicine for malaria developed from sweet wormwood?
Yes. Scientists isolated a compound called artemisinin from sweet wormwood (Artemisia annua), which became the basis for the development of modern antimalarial medicines.
The discovery dates back to the 1970s, when researchers recognised the potential of this plant based on traditional records. Today, artemisinin-based medicines are among the most important treatments used in the fight against malaria and are used worldwide.
It is important, however, to understand that medicines contain precisely isolated and studied compounds and are prepared in standardised forms, which differ from traditional herbal preparations.
