Wormwood is a potent vermifuge (a substance able to destroy or expels intestinal parasites). It is a strong bitter that affects the bitter-sensing taste buds on the tongue, which stimulates the whole digestive system. This bitter taste also stimulates the production of bile by the liver. The compounds in wormwood have anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, anti-fungal and anti-tumour activity.
It increases stomach acid naturally, improving digestion and the absorption of nutrients. It also eases flatulence and bloating and, if taken regularly, can help with the return of vitality after a prolonged illness. It is used to eliminate intestinal worms, especially pinworms and roundworms. It is also valued especially for its tonic effect on the entire digestive system. It is also used as an insect repellent, and as an insecticide, which can be used in gardens and on pets.
