ajenco is incorrectly written, and should be written as "wormwood" being its meaning: medicinal herbal plant ( artemisia absinthium ) known since antiquity as mother of all herbs or treasure of the poor for its healing properties. It smells strong and pleasantly, but it is very bitter. Its main active principle is the thujone, vermifuge and emmenagogue, but toxic in high doses. It is also used to make the liqueur Absinthe, very consumed by the artists of Paris Bohemia of XIX century as Toulouse_ Lautrec, and the Vermouth.
