I was intrigued with trying absinthe, and got the 5ml. bottle. I really enjoy it in a nebulizer at night time, and it helped with my husband's blocked sinuses when he had the flu. It is very intense, and will smother out the smell of anything else you try to blend it with, but it's definitely worth a go. I'll be ordering more once my little bottle is empty.

Absinthe is great in very small proportions in blends to treat underweight clients, and in a 1% blend in creams to bring on blocked menstruation.

Often associated as a spiritual/magical herb within the Wiccan community along with Mugwort. A powerful oil with a long and interesting history. It is not recommended for topical application as it is an abortifacient.

Years ago, I had an absinthe candle that had a very earthy smell. I bought this oil with the intention of making my own earthy smelling candles. This sent is stronger than I expected, intensely herbaceous green describes it perfectly.
