Wormwood is considered “good” due to its traditional use in aiding digestion, potentially relieving pain and inflammation, and having potential antimicrobial properties, although its use should be cautious due to potential side effects and lack of conclusive scientific evidence on its benefits; it’s often used as a digestive aid to stimulate appetite and improve stomach function and historically has been used to combat parasites and intestinal issues.
Wormwood Medicinal Benefits
Wormwood is believed to stimulate the production of stomach acid and bile, which can help with digestion, bloating, and loss of appetite.
Studies suggest wormwood may have anti-inflammatory effects, potentially helping with pain relief related to conditions like arthritis.
Some research indicates wormwood may have antimicrobial properties, potentially aiding in fighting infections.
Wormwood contains a compound called thujone, which can be toxic in high doses and may cause seizures in some individuals.
