Wormwood has been used since ancient times for its healing effects. Because it can become toxic if you do not follow the doses, it is good to follow wormwood treatments only on the doctor’s prescription.
Wormwood is often found in our country, especially in the lowland and hill regions and you can recognize it by its pale yellow flowers. It is also called white wormwood, and the botanical name is Artemisia absinthium. The plant is rich in essential oil, thione, absinthe, tannins and potassium nitrates, absinthe being a glycoside that gives the plant a bitter taste.
Phytotherapists recommend white wormwood in many diseases, because it is a good antiseptic (disinfectant) and has multiple roles: it is diuretic, laxative, purifying and deworming. It also acts as an anti-inflammatory of the mucous membranes of the digestive system, stimulates gastric juices, is tonic-bitter and healing, both internally and externally.

If you have stomach problems, it is recommended to drink wormwood infusion. This soothes the pain in the gastric tract and helps eliminate gas. It is also good against indigestion and helps you have an appetite. It is also indicated for those suffering from liver diseases, such as hepatitis, but also for those with problems with the bile and pancreas.
