Herbal Capsules

Artemisia absinthium

Product description

120 capsules per pack

These capsules contain 100% ground wormwood (Artemisia absinthium) with no fillers, preservatives or artificial additives. This is one of the best-known bitter herbs used in traditional European herbal practice.

The capsule form allows this herb to be taken conveniently without the need to prepare infusions, which is especially practical in the case of plants with a very intense, bitter taste, such as wormwood.

The product is made using carefully selected premium-quality botanical raw material, chosen for its purity, natural character and strong herbal profile. The focus is on clean, simple composition — only the plant material itself, without unnecessary additives.

Capsules are available in different quantity options and in two capsule sizes, allowing each person to choose the format that best suits their personal needs:

• size 000 – the largest capsules commonly available, containing approximately 0.8–0.9 g of ground botanical material
• size 0 – smaller capsules containing approximately 0.45–0.5 g of botanical material, suitable for those who prefer easier swallowing

Why choose capsules instead of herbal tea?

Although wormwood has traditionally been used as an infusion or tincture, capsules offer several practical advantages:

• they provide a precise amount of botanical material
• they eliminate the extremely bitter taste of wormwood
• they are convenient to use outside the home
• they make it easier to include this herb in short-term herbal routines

For this reason, capsules are often the preferred option when using strong bitter herbs.
