ABSINTHE ๐ THROWBACK: Absinthe chinoise ๐จ๐ณ, whatโs that? It is actually the name of a different artemisia specie, artemisia annua. The old picture advertises a spirit made with artemisia annua instead of artemisia absinthium. We assume this ad is post Absinthe prohibition, because the spirit is advertised as a healthy alternative to Absinthe. Indeed artemisia annua is used in Chinese medicine for centuries. The ingredient artemisinin is a malaria treat. ๐จ๐ณ #absinthethrowback #absinthe #malaria #artemisia #artemisiaannua #artemisinin #absinth #absinthechinoise #vintagephotography #bar #belleepoque #alandia #alandiaspirits https://www.instagram.com/p/CkV9aclM--E/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
