Wormwood Organic
Wormwood is well known as an anti-parasite, digestive aid & liver tonic herb. It is used for various digestion problems such as loss of appetite, upset stomach, gallbladderᅠdisease, and intestinal spasms. It is also famous as one of the ingredients in Absinthe.
Wormwood is a very bitter plant with a long history of use as a medicinal herb. It is valued especially for its tonic effect on the liver, gallbladder and digestive system, and for its vermicidal activity. It is an extremely useful medicine for those with weak and under-active digestion. It increases stomach acid and bile production, improving digestion and the absorption of nutrients. It also eases wind and bloating and, if taken regularly, helps the body return to full vitality after a prolonged illness.
