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 fight various types of parasites, such as roundworms, pinworms, Giardia, and amoebae. Its action is based on the substance absinthin, which weakens and paralyzes these invaders without harming the good bacteria in the intestines.

🦠How does it help eliminate parasites?
Wormwood works in several ways:
• It weakens parasite membranes and facilitates their natural excretion.
• It stimulates the production of bile and gastric juice, improving digestion and creating an unfavorable environment for parasites to survive.
• 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 can’t stand 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 long periods of time, as it can be toxic if abused for longer periods.
• Avoid use if pregnant, breastfeeding, or if you have epilepsy or liver problems.
• It is best used under the guidance of a naturopath or doctor, especially if you plan on a longer course of treatment. Continued on the next page ️ ️ ⏬⏬ ⏬
