Wormwood is famously used in the notorious alcoholic drink, absinthe – and is said to possess hallucinogenic qualities. But taken as a tea, you will not experience any strange mind-states, just incredible healing benefits.
Wormwood has been used as a medicinal and culinary herb for thousands of years. The Egyptian Ebers Papyrus, a medical document dated around 1550 BC that contains transcriptions of documents dating back centuries, contains the earliest written record of its use.Â
Wormwood is used to get rid of worms in the digestive system, particularly pinworms and roundworms. It is frequently suggested as a component of a parasite cleanse for just this reason. According to an animal study from 2018 that was published in the Journal of Helminthology, wormwood causes worm paralysis and death.
Wormwood is also anti-viral, it is an essential component for the herbal medication artemisinin, which is marketed as the most potent anti-malarial available. Recent research has demonstrated that artemisinin is efficient against the parasite that causes malaria because it combines with the organism’s abundant iron to create free radicals. The malaria parasite’s cell walls are then destroyed by free radicals.
Additionally, scientific studies demonstrate that an extract of Wormwood can even kill cancer cells. Recent research suggests that artemisinin can kill parasites that cause malaria like how it destroys iron-rich breast cancer cells, making it a possible natural cancer treatment alternative for breast cancer patients.
Wormwood tea can be used to treat indigestion, flatulence, stomach aches, jaundice, anorexia, sleeplessness, anaemia, and loss of appetite.
