Tarragon Leaf

2oz

Latin Name: Artemisia dracunculus
Also known as: Dragon Herb, Estragon, The Appetite Awakener

Brief History & Origin

Tarragon is the Herb of Subtle Fire, Digestion, and Quiet Magic, long used in European, Middle Eastern, and traditional folk medicine. Its name is derived from the French “estragon,” meaning “little dragon,” hinting at its ability to gently spark the digestive fire and awaken internal movement.

As a member of the Artemisia family (alongside Mugwort and Wormwood), Tarragon carries a thread of mysticism and intuitive energy, though expressed in a softer, more grounded way. It has been used to stimulate appetite, ease digestion, and support the body’s natural rhythms.

Spiritually, Tarragon is the whisper of activation—not a loud flame, but a steady, guiding spark that helps you reconnect with your natural hunger for life.
