Description

Premium, hand-processed capillary wormwood leaf and shoots. Also known as oriental wormwood, artemisia capillaris herba, a relative of mugwort and wormwood, is a well-known smokable herb and tea that also has a long history of medicinal use.

Uses

Capillary Wormwood Tea

Unlike its relative “mugwort” (which is a slightly bitter tea), Yerba Zen™ is a smooth, great-tasting tea with an interesting, spicy flavor that displays no noticeable bitterness.

Directions for making tea: For the best results as tea, use 1 gm of Yerba Zen™ per 16 fl oz of water.

Smoking Capillary Wormwood

Capillaris Herba is a relaxing and, for some people, mildly invigorating smoke. Due to its fluffy consistency, it is challenging to roll and mix with other herbs. However, many people do find the results of blending it with other herbs to be enjoyable.

Benefits

Artemisia capillaris, also known as “Capilarius herba,” has a 2,000-year history of use in Chinese herbal medicine. Said to be beneficial in relieving fevers and cleansing the liver. Modern research has “supposedly” confirmed that the plant has a tonic and strengthening effect upon the liver, gallbladder, and entire digestive system. It is also said to “possibly” be helpful in relieving dizziness, symptoms of the common cold, nausea, loss of appetite, and headaches. More scientific study and research is needed.

In recent history, Artemisia capillaris has become a popular ingredient in natural smoking blends.
