Question 1

Does this product contain Thojune

Accepted Answer

YES, normally, naturally, Wormwood, Artemisia absinthium, does contain Thujone.  However, these days, it is always possible that someone has produced a variety that is free of Thujone (this is the correct spelling, BTW).  For years the Absinthe liquor was illegal, but now is available again as a thujone-free liquor.  How they do that would be of interest.  Did they breed the plant to effectively be free of it or is it processed out during its production?
Read the label and related adverts and if they say nothing about it being free of Thojune, I would assume it does contain this chemical.

Question 2

About how much is this in cups?

Accepted Answer

This is 4 oz bag. You can Steep 1/2 to 1 tea spoon of wormwood herb in a cup of boiling water for 5-15 minutes. Use no more than 1 tea spoon of wormwood as they are very strong and bitter.

Question 3

what is wormwood used for?

Accepted Answer

To detox the liver... very cleansing herb..

Question 4

Is this the same as mugwort?

Accepted Answer

Is mugwort the same as wormwood?

There is some disagreement about the difference between mugwort and wormwood. Herbs have many different common names, which can cause confusion. By looking at the scientific name, it’s easy to identify when there are differences in the plants.

The scientific name for wormwood is Artemisia absinthium. Mugwort’s scientific name, however, is Artemisia vulgaris.

Although the two plants are closely related, there is a slight difference. Mugwort refers to all 200 aromatic plants found in the Artemisia genus; wormwood is just one of them. Wormwood (Artemisia absinthium) is the only variation of Artemisia that can be used to distill authentic absinthe. It is also commonly used to make vermouth.
