From wild collection
The Artemisia Vulgaris flowers from Terza Luna are of excellent quality and come from the wild collection of 2023, meaning its leaves were harvested from wild plants. This makes the leaves much richer in properties and nutrients compared to those of a plant specifically cultivated by humans, as they are unfertilized and without the use of pesticides due to the plant's characteristics that make it stronger than most cultivated plants. Terza Luna offers packages of different sizes from 50g, 100g, and 250g ideal for preparing the Artemisia infusion with "magical properties."
The Artemisia Vulgaris is a perennial shrubby plant, belonging to the Asteraceae plant family, with an erect stem ranging from 50 to 150 cm in height, reddish in color, and well-branched. Generally, the Artemisia plant grows in nitrogen-rich soils and is therefore very common in inhabited areas. Its original habitat was represented by the temperate zones of Europe, North Africa, and Asia, although Artemisia is also found in North America where it has been naturalized and subsequently cultivated. The leaves are distributed alternately and characterized by an intense green color and a scent very similar to wormwood. Often, Artemisia Vulgaris and wormwood, also known as Artemisia absinthium, are associated due to their similar appearance resulting from belonging to the same plant family, and for this reason, Artemisia is known as "wild wormwood." Flowering occurs during the summer months from June to August and usually begins in late summer. Artemisia Vulgaris is often confused with Artemisia Annua, however, they are two different plants although similar. The former is a perennial plant, with winter buds at ground level protected by litter or snow, while Artemisia Annua is an annual species that survives the adverse season in the form of seeds. Furthermore, unlike Artemisia Annua, Artemisia Vulgaris is also used to prepare hydroalcoholic extracts to regulate the menstrual cycle.
The properties of Artemisia Vulgaris are numerous, and since ancient times, this plant has been used to soothe and heal certain disorders. Today, it is consumed for its numerous beneficial properties in the form of herbal tea, often referred to as the plant with "magical properties." Among its most important active ingredients, we find artemisinin, which over time has shown potential as an ally against cancer cells, and the anticancer plant is still the subject of medical studies. The consumption of Artemisia herbal tea is often associated with digestive properties thanks to the bitter substances contained in the plant's flowers that stimulate the production of gastric juices. Moreover, it is known for its sedative and anti-inflammatory qualities that help reduce intestinal spasms and contribute to the well-being of the gastrointestinal system. Finally, another benefit of consuming Artemisia Vulgaris herbal tea concerns liver health, as its active ingredients provide strong inhibition by liver enzymes. Artemisia flowers are also used to treat colds and sore throats. In fact, an exceptional infusion with "magical properties" can be made to treat sore throats and colds. It is also very useful for women who suffer from a particularly painful or irregular cycle.
The artemisia vulgaris by Terza Luna comes from a wild collection, therefore the leaves have been harvested from wild plants. This makes Artemisia flowers much richer in nutrients compared to those from a cultivated plant specifically harvested by humans. Wild plants are not fertilized, and pesticides are not used because they are much stronger than cultivated plants. The main difference between cultivated plants and wild plants lies in the "forcing" process by humans, which weakens the plant, making it more susceptible to attacks by pests, fungi, and other factors, thus requiring the use of pesticides.
Many people ask if there are contraindications for artemisia? Excessive consumption of Artemisia Vulgaris tea could lead to harmful side effects for your health. It is not recommended during pregnancy and breastfeeding as it could have negative effects on hormones or alter pregnancy hormones and, in more severe cases, could lead to a miscarriage. If taken in high doses, it can be poisonous and damage the nervous system. The pollen of artemisia produced by the plant's flowers is an allergen and could cause respiratory problems. Additionally, among the contraindications of artemisia, for some people, mere contact with the skin could cause dermatitis. Finally, consuming artemisia vulgaris tea could cause interactions with medications, so it is recommended, especially for those undergoing specific pharmacological therapies, to consult their doctor before starting to take it.

In ancient Greece, wild wormwood was used during sacrificial ceremonies as an offering to the gods in request of a good outcome. In fact, in Greek mythology, the plant was considered the symbol of women and fertility. For this reason, it is believed that the plant's name derives from the name of the Greek goddess Artemis, the goddess of hunting and the moon who presided over childbirth. In fact, it is believed that the plant particularly cures women's diseases. It is also believed to derive from the Greek word "artemes," which means "healthy, in good health." Another attribution could refer to Artemisia, the wife of Mausolus, king of Caria.
