Wormwood is a deeply bitter herb with a long history in African, European, and Indigenous traditional medicine. It's best known for its ability to support healthy digestion, stimulate appetite, and serve as a powerful ally for intestinal cleansing and parasite expulsion.

Benefits:

  • Digestive support — stimulates bile production and eases bloating, gas, and indigestion
  • Appetite stimulant — the bitterness signals the digestive system to prepare for food
  • Antiparasitic — traditionally used as a vermifuge to help expel intestinal worms
  • Antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties

How to use: Best taken as a tea or tincture. Due to its strong bitterness, it's often blended with other herbs.

Contraindications:

  • Do not use during pregnancy or breastfeeding
  • Avoid if you have liver disease, bile duct obstruction, or a history of seizures
  • Not recommended for long-term use or in high doses — contains thujone, which can be neurotoxic in excess
  • May interact with sedatives and anticonvulsant medications
  • Consult a healthcare professional before use, especially if you have a pre-existing condition or take prescription medications
