Bylica gorzka, znana również pod łacińską nazwą *Artemisia absinthium*, stanowi od niepamiętnych czasów istotny element tradycyjnej medycyny europejskiej i azjatyckiej. Jej gorzki smak oraz bogactwo aktywnych związków, takich jak absyntynol czy tujon, sprawiają, że znajduje ona zastosowanie w łagodzeniu dolegliwości trawiennych, pobudzaniu apetytu czy wspomaganiu procesów detoksykacyjnych organizmu. Pomimo rosnącego zainteresowania jej prozdrowotnymi właściwościami w ramach współczesnej fitoterapii, niezbędne jest zachowanie ostrożności – przedawkowanie lub długotrwałe spożywanie preparatów na jej bazie może prowadzić do poważnych zaburzeń neurologicznych, a nawet toksycznego uszkodzenia wątroby.
