Digestive Expectorant Sedative Stomachic
Glacier wormwood has similar medicinal properties to common wormwood, A, absinthum[7]. It is used locally where it grows wild. The whole plant is digestive, expectorant, sedative and stomachic[7]. An infusion of the herb has a marked effect upon mountain sickness[7]. A poultice of the plant is used as a first-aid remedy in the treatment of wounds[7].

Now available: PLANTS FOR YOUR FOOD FOREST: 500 Plants for Temperate Food Forests and Permaculture Gardens.
An important new book from PFAF. It focuses on the attributes of plants suitable for food forests, what each can contribute to a food forest ecosystem, including carbon sequestration, and the kinds of foods they yield. The book suggests that community and small-scale food forests can provide a real alternative to intensive industrialised agriculture, and help to combat the many inter-related environmental crises that threaten the very future of life on Earth.

Cultivation details
Requires a very well-drained light or medium soil and a sunny position[190]. Very intolerant of winter wet[190]. Established plants are drought tolerant[190]. Plants are longer lived, more hardy and more aromatic when they are grown in a poor dry soil[245]. Indiscriminate collection of this plant from the wild has made it an endangered species[7]. Members of this genus are rarely if ever troubled by browsing deer[233].

Propagation
Seed - surface sow from late winter to early summer in a greenhouse, making sure that the compost does not dry out[200]. When large enough to handle, prick the seedlings out into individual pots and grow them on in the greenhouse for their first winter. Plant out in late spring or early summer. Division in spring or autumn[200]. Basal cuttings in late spring. Harvest the young shoots when about10 - 15cm long, pot up in a lightly shaded position in a greenhouse or cold frame and plant them out when well rooted. Very easy.
