Wormwood (Artemisia absinthium) is classified as an antimicrobial, digestive, and bitter herb. It is traditionally used to support digestive health by stimulating appetite and promoting the production of digestive enzymes, which can help alleviate indigestion, bloating, and lack of appetite. Wormwood is also known for its ability to treat intestinal worms and parasitic infections due to its antiparasitic properties. Additionally, it has mild antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects, making it useful for addressing infections and inflammation. In some cultures, wormwood has been used as a tonic for liver health. However, it should be used with caution and under the guidance of a healthcare provider, as it can be toxic in large doses. Wormwood is typically consumed as a tea, tincture, or supplement.
