Wormwood Steam distilled oil

1 Combats malaria

Malaria is a serious disease caused by a parasite that is transmitted by the bite of infected mosquitoes and invades human red blood cells. Artemisinin is an extract isolated from the plant Artemisia annua.

Artemisinin is an herbal drug that’s the most powerful antimalarial on the market. It’s known for quickly reducing the number of parasites in the blood of patients with malaria.

2 Fights cancer cells

3. Helps get rid of parasites

Wormwood is used to eliminate intestinal worms, including pinworms, roundworms and tapeworms.

Pinworms are the most common worm infection in the U.S., as pinworm eggs spread directly from person to person. Roundworms, or nematodes, are parasites that also infect human intestines, and tapeworms are long, flat worms that infect animal and human intestines.

A 2018 animal study published in the Journal of Helminthology indicated that wormwood induced worm paralysis, death and ultrastructural alternations.

A study conducted in Sweden shows that for the purpose of deworming farm animals, a combination of wormwood, mugwort, chicory and common tansy is believed to have anti-parasite properties.

These are among the reasons to drink wormwood tea if you have an intestinal worm.

4. Helps treat Crohn’s disease

In Germany, a double-blind study examined the effectiveness of an herbal blend containing wormwood at a dose of 500 milligrams three times per day versus a placebo over 10 weeks in 40 patients suffering from Crohn’s disease who were already on a steady daily dose of steroids.

5. Contains antimicrobial and antifungal abilities

In vitro studies have shown that the essential oils of wormwood have antimicrobial activity. Research published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry suggests that wormwood oil exhibits a broad spectrum of antimicrobial activity against several bacterial strains

6. Can help with SIBO

Many people turn to natural and alternative treatments when it comes to problems with their gastrointestinal health, and for good reason. Studies show that herbal remedies like wormwood tea or capsules are as good or even better at fighting small intestinal bacterial overgrowth or SIBO symptoms.

7 May help treat tuberculosis

Emerging research suggests that wormwood might have potential in treating tuberculosis (TB). A study published in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology found that artemisinin, a compound derived from wormwood, exhibited bactericidal activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the bacterium responsible for TB.

8. Helps balance blood sugar

Wormwood may help in managing blood sugar levels, which is crucial for individuals with diabetes or at risk of developing the condition. Some animal research indicates wormwood may help balance blood sugar levels, though more human studies are needed to confirm this effect.
