Other comments :
It is one of the essential oils with thujone (it contains about 40%) which explain its high toxicity. Other essential oils contain thujones: Cedar Leaf EO, Camphorated Wormwood EO, tansy, thuja or Dalmatian Sage EO.
Another name for absinthe is ''wormwood ''.
Absinthe is known worldwide for the beverage made with its essential oil which has been banned in many countries because of its excessive alcohol content, but also because of thujone. However, in France, since 2011, the consumption of this drink has been authorized again, provided that the rate of thujone is very limited. The excessive consumption of absinthe has also given its name to a disease: absinthism. Thujones have long given a very bad press to the plant.
