ARTEMESIA DRACUNCULUS - TARRAGON
ARTEMESIA DRACUNCULUS - TARRAGON
Ph 4.2 (VARIABLE)
Aroma and Taste
A distinct licorice /anise scent but with the complex overtones of fresh tarragon; The flavour is very potent, almost overpowering when undiluted, but it softens considerably at normal dilution. Delicious, unusual, and hard to find reliably.
Stability and Shelf Life
Unknown: at least twelve months.
Properties and Application
Significant digestive aid; relieves gas, bloating, colic, gastric spasms, and hiccups.
Seems to have a relaxing effect on the nervous system, calming stress-related physical symptoms.
The essential oil is used in asthma treatments for its significant antispasmodic properties and the hydrosol also seems to have pronounced antispasmodic properties, at least foe the digestive tract. It is worthy of further investigation in respiratory conditions like asthma, whooping cough, and spasms of the diaphragm.
Absolutely delicious in cooking, and if you like tarragon, the hydrosol makes a wonderful beverage. Take it when travelling to keep the system working despite time zones and stress.
