In classical homeopathy, four monopreparations are known, the raw material for which are plants from the genus Arterenn51a (wormwood) [4, 5, 8, 21, 23, 24, 25, 26]. Our previous publications were dedicated to two representatives of the genus Artemisia – Artemisia absinthium L. (wormwood)
and Artemisia abrotanum L. (wormwood), widely used in homeopathy [9, 10]. Our studies made it possible to differentiate both in the homeopathic and botanical sense Artemisia
absinthium L. from Artemisia vulgaris L. and Artemisia pontica L., as well as Artemisia abrotanum L. from Artemisia paniculata Lam. and Artemisia procera Willd. and to establish that in the homeopathic pharmacopoeias of various countries [21, 23, 24, 25, 26] as a raw material for the production of the drug
Absinthium is given exclusively by wormwood – Artemisia absinthium L., and for the production of the drug Abrotanum – God’s tree wormwood – Artemisia abrotanum L. Other types of wormwood will be unacceptable impurities in raw materials for the production of these drugs [9, 10].
