Queen Tee's Premium Wormwood Parasite Cleanser Tincture
Wormwood (Artemisia absinthium) — a distinctive, aromatic herb — is prized for its bitter, herbaceous flavor and a history of both culinary and medicinal use. Most famously associated with absinthe, wormwood also offers compounds that have attracted scientific and traditional interest for potential health effects.
What’s in wormwood
-
Thujone: A neuroactive compound historically linked to wormwood’s antiparasitic reputation and its strong, bitter character. Thujone is one reason wormwood was used against intestinal worms.
-
Chamazulene: An antioxidant that helps protect cells from oxidative stress and may contribute to anti-inflammatory activity.
-
Artemisinin-related constituents: These compounds have been studied for anti-inflammatory effects, including possible inhibition of cytokines—immune proteins that drive inflammation.
Traditional and modern uses
-
Digestive and antiparasitic: Historically used (including in Ancient Egypt) to treat intestinal parasites.
-
Anti-inflammatory and analgesic: Traditionally applied for pain relief and inflammation; some constituents show activity that supports these uses.
-
Culinary: Used sparingly for its bitter, aromatic profile—most famously in absinthe and in some bitters and herbal blends.
Important safety information
-
Consult your doctor before using wormwood, especially if you are pregnant, nursing, have a chronic condition, or take medications.
-
High doses can cause serious side effects: digestive upset, kidney injury, nausea, vomiting, and seizures.
-
Thujone is neuroactive; products with high thujone concentrations are particularly risky.
-
Small amounts (for example, in tea or culinary uses) generally pose less risk, but exercise caution and avoid long-term high-dose use.
