Wormwood Liquid Extract Tincture - Artemisia absinthium 50ml

Wormwood is best known as the primary ingredient in absinthe and vermouth. However, as a traditional herbal medicine, wormwood has a number of key uses and properties. Wormwood is anthelmintic (kills intestinal worms and parasites), antiseptic, antispasmodic, aromatic, carminative, cholagogue (stimulates flow of bile), febrifuge (reduces fever), narcotic, stimulant, stomachic and tonic.

Wormwood has a long history of use as a stomach medicine and may be used for indigestion, gastric pain, lack of appetite, heartburn, flatulence, fevers, dysentery, asthma, burns and anaemia. It is also regarded as a useful remedy for liver and gallbladder problems and to treat jaundice.

As well as its ability to kill intestinal worms (which gave rise to the herb’s name) it is recommended for other digestive conditions such as dyspepsia, esophageal reflux, irritable bowel syndrome and it may be beneficial in the treatment of Crohn’s disease.

Wormwood is also a cardiac stimulant and when taken in proper doses can improve blood circulation. Wormwood tea has been recommended to help relieve pain during labour and it may help stimulate menstruation.

Wormwood can also be applied externally to irritations, bruises and sprains and a wash can relieve itching from rashes. Wormwood acts as a local anaesthetic when applied to relieve pains of rheumatism, neuralgia, lumbago, tuberculosis, and arthritis.
