wormwood

Kurt’s cleanse contained black walnut, cloves and wormwood, along with a handful of other herbs.

Basil, mint, thyme, geraniums, marigolds, wormwood and citronella all add a little flair to your garden while also repelling pests such as wasps.

It's named for the chief ingredient that makes it unique: artemisia absinthium, which you might know as wormwood.

After adding dry vermouth and wormwood bitters, Muir shakes and strains the drink and garnishes it with a fir sprig.

The cleanse involved taking herbal supplements that consisted of cloves, black walnut and wormwood — the dosage of which was literally fistfuls of gelatin capsules each day.
