Absinthe Bann Mystries Resolved!


Absinthe is now perfectly legal in many countries around the world but why were Absinthe and Absithe kits banned at all?

Why Absinthe was banned ?

France is wrongly known as the home of Absinthe but Absinthe was actually created at the end of the 18th century by Dr Pierre Ordinaire in Switzerland. In the 19th century and early 20th century Absinthe became very popular, a time known as La Belle Epoque a golden age before the start of the First World War. It is a herbal alcoholic beverage flavored with wormwood, aniseed, fennel and sometimes other herbs such as lemon balm, hyssop and mint.

Absinthe was associated with many great writers and artists who claimed that it gave them inspiration. People who were dedicated to Absinthe included Van Gogh, Oscar Wilde, and Pablo Picasso.
