Artemisia abrotanum (Southernwood, Coca-Cola Plant) – edible aromatic plant

Artemisia abrotanum is a valuable plant with multiple benefits - in some countries it is used as a medicinal plant (for teas or various preparations), in Italy it is considered a spice, and in ancient times it was used as a deodorizer and to keep moths away.

The plant emits a very interesting scent, similar to Coca-Cola or Pepsi, which repels insects. For therapeutic purposes, the leaves and flowering branches are harvested, which contain essential oils, abrotin, bitter substances, and tannins. The plant is also considered a good disinfectant. A few dried twigs placed in a closet keep moths away. More recently, it has also been used to prepare refreshing drinks.
