Artemisia annua, also known as Sweet Wormwood or Qinghao, is an herb native to temperate regions of Asia, particularly China, where it has been used in traditional medicine for centuries. The essential oil derived from this plant is prized for its powerful antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. Its aromatic profile, with fresh, herbal, and slightly camphoraceous notes, makes it popular in aromatherapy to cleanse the air, support respiratory health, and promote relaxation. Beyond its physical benefits, Sweet Wormwood is revered for its spiritual significance, often used in rituals to cleanse spaces of negative energy and foster emotional clarity. The plant itself is a member of the Asteraceae family and has feathery, green leaves and small, yellow flowers, blooming in the late summer. Known for its grounding qualities, the oil is a popular choice in meditative practices and emotional healing, helping to release deep-seated emotions and encourage inner balance.
