Supports healthy digestion and elimination; used as an antiparsitic.*
Wormwood is a "bitter," supportive of the digestion of food (the liquor absinthe is made from this plant). Herbalists have recommended or made use of wormwood extracts to treat intestinal worms, particularly pinworms and roundworms. Due to its anti-parasitic properties, wormwood oils or extracts are sometimes used as insect repellents, and a local insecticide to be used in gardens and local application on pets. Herbalists have used wormwood extracts for inflammation of the gall bladder, hepatitis, jaundice, fever, stomach and liver infections. In some cases it is believed to be effective in treating even mild cases of mild depression.
Some herbalists opine that wormwood extracts can also be used as a preventative especially in the case of protecting the liver from harmful chemicals. There have been reports that wormwood extracts have been used to treat the troubles linked to childbearing, muscle sprains, arthritic aches, and in some severe cases to treat broken bones.
In almost all herbal preparations made from the herb, wormwood is never used in isolation. Wormwood extracts are usually mixed with other herbs with medicinal properties such as peppermint or caraway in order to prepare herbal remedies. A blend of wormwood extract, peppermint extracts, and caraway extracts are useful in treating heartburn and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). As a conventional form of medicine, herbalists would use absinthe wormwood or its extracts to enhance digestion, to get rid of worm parasites, and to induce menstruation. Wormwood extracts were also revered by naturalists and herbalists as useful curatives for liver and gallbladder disorders.
Precautions: Wormwood contains constituents that may be toxic if ingested in large amounts and for extended periods of time. Not to be used while pregnant. Wormwood is more commonly and perhaps best used in combination with other synergistic herbs.
