Discover the therapeutic properties of Artemisia absinthium, or Wormwood, a perennial herb native to Europe, Asia, and North Africa, now thriving globally. This bushy, tall plant has floral beauty and medical functionality, with small yellow flowers flourishing in late summer or early fall. Its deeply divided gray-green leaves are distinctively robust and bitter, an attribute that assists in enhancing digestion and appetite, providing an effective treatment for ailments like nausea, vomiting, and indigestion.
Woormwood has been used for many medical uses like digestive problems, fever, kill parasites, possibly treat cancer, headaches, insomnia, and anxiety.
Wormwood is generally safe when used in moderation. However, it should not be taken in high doses, as it can be toxic. Thujone, the main active compound in wormwood, can cause seizures, hallucinations, and even death in high doses.
