Wormwood: An Effective Herb Against Intestinal Parasites

For centuries, wormwood (also known as Artemisia absinthium) has been one of the most widely used natural remedies for eliminating parasites in the digestive system. The plant is known not only for its bitter taste but also for its ability to cleanse the body of unwanted microorganisms.

🌿 Why is it considered so effective?

Wormwood is known to combat various types of parasites, such as roundworms, threadworms, Giardia, and amoebae. Its effect is based on the substance absinthin, which weakens and paralyzes these invaders without harming the beneficial bacteria in the gut.

🦠 How does it help eliminate parasites?

Wormwood works in several ways:

• It weakens the parasite membranes and facilitates their natural excretion.

• It stimulates the production of bile and gastric juices, improves digestion, and creates an unfavorable environment for parasite survival. • It has antimicrobial, antifungal, and anthelmintic properties that contribute to a thorough cleansing of the digestive system.

✅ Common Uses
• Wormwood tea: A small amount of dried leaves in hot water is sufficient.

• Capsules or liquid extracts: Ideal if you cannot tolerate the bitter taste.

• Combinations with other herbs: In natural antiparasitic treatments, it is often mixed with cloves or nutmeg.

⚠️ Important Precautions
• It should not be used excessively or for extended periods, as prolonged misuse can be toxic.

• Avoid use during pregnancy, while breastfeeding, or if you have epilepsy or liver problems.

• It is best to use it under the guidance of a naturopathic practitioner or physician, especially if you are planning a longer course of treatment. Continued on the next page ️ ️ ⏬⏬ ⏬
