Maximum thujone? What's about thujone
and its rumored psychoactive qualities?
There is no LSD-like delirious state caused by absinthe. But
an absinthe inebriation is often described as more clear and
awake. Many absinthe drinkers tell about it, but there is no
scientific evidence. Individual disposition, autosuggestion and
placebo effect are supposably an issue. Maybe the combination
of all ingredients together is somehow effective and not a
singular substance. At last absinthe contains up to two dozens
of different herbs, each with an individual effect on humans.
Many of them are known as medicinal herbs for thousands of
years.
Current researches state that the thujone contents of historic
absinthes was not higher than in our days. However few samples
should represent the whole rich absinthe culture of the 19th
century. Maybe the clients of that study who are in part big
players in the absinthe business, have an eye on the awaking US
market where the thujone contents is limited to 10mg/kg.
Absinthe or Absinth
?
In the German speaking area and in the Czech Republic, this
wormwood spirit is spelled Absinth. In French and
English it is called absinthe. Sometimes
absinth is used as a synonym for macerated, anise-free
wormwood liquor of German and Czech origin (Bohemian absinthe
culture). On the other hand absinthe often stands for
a high anise contents in a wormwood distillate of French or
Swiss origin and for original authenticity by pure distillation
of herbs.
As the Spanish call their absinthe absenta, the
Polish call it absynth, and there are many other forms
of spelling around the world, for the sake of simplicity we
will here use the official english word absinthe.
Absinthe herbs
The absinthe-typical herbs that define the flavour are
wormwood, anise and fennel. Also common are star anise, hyssop,
lemon balm, roman wormwood, garden angelica, veronica,
coriander, juniper, calamus, origanum dictamnus, nutmeg and
others. The green colour accrues from the chlorophyll of
pontica, hyssop, melissa and mint.
