Historical & Cultural Background

Absinth has been valued since classical antiquity. The herb was traditionally used as a digestive aid and was known for supporting general well-being. Roman travelers even carried it in their shoes to ward off pain and infections.

In the 19th and 20th centuries, absinth gained worldwide fame as the main ingredient of the alcoholic drink absinthe, inspiring artists and writers such as Van Gogh. A mystical aura surrounded absinthe; the drink was even temporarily banned due to alleged hallucinogenic effects—a myth later debunked.

FAQ

How much alcohol does absinthe contain?
Absinthe typically contains between 55% and 70% alcohol, making it one of the strongest alcoholic beverages available.

Is absinthe a drug?
Absinthe is not a drug, but an alcoholic beverage. In the past, it was believed to cause hallucinations, mainly due to the compound thujone from wormwood. Modern absinthe contains very low levels of thujone, which do not produce such effects.

Is absinthe the green fairy?
Yes, absinthe is often called “the green fairy” because of its distinctive green color and the mystical image it has developed over the centuries.

What is absinthe good for?
Absinthe was originally used to stimulate digestion. It was believed to increase appetite and help with flatulence and stomach cramps. Today, it is mainly consumed as an alcoholic beverage.

What does thujone do?
Thujone is a compound found in wormwood, one of the herbs used in absinthe. It was long thought to be responsible for absinthe’s “hallucinogenic” effects, but modern absinthe contains only minimal amounts. Thujone may stimulate appetite and potentially has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties.
