Abrotanum is commonly known as southernwood, lady’s love or Artemisia abrotanum. It belongs to the plant kingdom and is a member of the family Compositae. It is indigenous to Eurasia and Africa. It can be propagated easily by the division of roots or cuttings. It is a shrub with grey-green small, thin and feathery leaves. The flowers are small and yellow in color.
Due to its strong camphor-like odour, traditionally it has been used as an air freshener and as a repellant for moths and insects. In Italy, it is used as a herb in cooking. In east and north Bosnia and Herzegovina, parts of Abrotanum are used in traditional medicine for the treatment of jaundice.
