{"product_id":"apsithia-matso","title":"Wormwood – Bunch – Artemisia absinthium","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWormwood – Bunch\u003c\/strong\u003e (\u003cem\u003eArtemisia absinthium\u003c\/em\u003e) consists of whole dried aerial parts bundled together, with a very bitter, intensely aromatic and herbaceous character. At Spices Bazaar, it is presented according to its actual form and available botanical identity. Historical or traditional references provide useful cultural context, but are not turned into therapeutic promises. As a natural raw material, it may vary in color, cut and aroma intensity from batch to batch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWormwood – Bunch – identity and form\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe botanical reference \u003cem\u003eArtemisia absinthium\u003c\/em\u003e helps avoid confusion with related species and similarly named products. The form consists of whole dried aerial parts bundled together. We do not assume a country of origin, variety, species or concentration of natural constituents beyond what is documented for the batch. Correct identification is especially important when different plant parts have different uses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCharacter and practical use\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe profile is very bitter, intensely aromatic and herbaceous. Wormwood may contain thujone and is not treated as an ordinary everyday tea. The bunch form does not change the basic precautions, and we do not provide general homemade dosages for internal use. The cut and form affect the intensity and how it is used. A fine powder has a much larger surface area than whole leaves, wood or root and therefore behaves differently in any preparation. Where it is used as food, always follow the labeling for the specific batch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDifferent forms, different rules\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDried herb, resin, essential oil, tincture, capsule and standardized extract are not interchangeable. The concentration of natural constituents and the safety profile can differ significantly. For this reason, we do not copy dosages or claims from one form to another. The exact product name and intended use take precedence over any general information.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuality and proper storage\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe do not assess a natural product solely by whether its color is exactly the same as that of a previous batch. Harvesting, drying, grinding and time affect its appearance. Use a clean, dry utensil, close the package immediately and protect the product from steam. If transferring it to a jar, be sure to keep the original label.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eRelated product in the catalog\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor comparison, see \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/apsithia-artemisia-apoxirameni\"\u003eWormwood – Dried Artemisia\u003c\/a\u003e. The related product is not necessarily a substitute. It may differ in species, plant part, cut or concentration. Comparing them helps you choose the right form for the specific application and avoid common confusion between similarly named products.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA little Spices Bazaar tip\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMark the opening date on the container and do not mix a new batch with leftovers from an old one. For strongly aromatic products, use a tightly sealed container to prevent nearby spices and herbs from becoming scented. This simple practice noticeably improves the organization and consistency of a professional or home collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eStorage and precautions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eStore tightly closed in a cool, dry, dark place, away from moisture, heat and strong odors. Avoid during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Particular caution is required with a history of seizures or when taking medication, and prolonged uncontrolled use should be avoided.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiscover more flavors, aromas and stories from around the world.\u003c\/strong\u003e Follow Spices Bazaar on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/www.SpicesBazaar.gr\"\u003eFacebook\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@Aiodigoseyexias\"\u003eYouTube\u003c\/a\u003e for new arrivals, recommendations and inspiration.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Spices Bazaar","offers":[{"title":"Piece","offer_id":54895945613639,"sku":"SB-HER-53632-PC","price":4.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/spices-bazaar-2.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/apsithia-matso","provider":"Spices Bazaar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
