Artemisia Combination

The Story behind Artemisia Combination. Greeks and Romans used elecampane for a number of things, including digestive and respiratory concerns. Hippocrates advocated it for the kidneys, brain, uterus and stomach. Roman author, naturalist and military commander Pliny said that eating elecampane daily would “help digestion and cause mirth.” And we all need a little more mirth. Mugwort was used anciently by the Chinese and the Greeks. During the Middle Ages, this herb was a key ingredient in gruit, a blend of herbs used to flavor beer. It may have even been named for this, as beer is traditionally served in a mug. Clove flowers grow on tropical evergreen trees in Indonesia, Madagascar and Tanzania. They have a history of traditional use and are linked with oral health. Sweet wormwood was used traditionally in a drink made with anise and fennel to soothe digestion. As the name implies, this herb is often used in cleansing programs to ward off the unwanted.
