Wormwood has a storied past. Many famous artists and writers used absinthe as a drink made from wormwood, anise, and fennel. Because of its potency, absinthe is banned in the US and many other countries. However, it’s available in some countries in Europe if you are inclined to try it.

Wormwood has properties that aid many common and serious health concerns. Wormwood is actually used to eliminate intestinal worms, especially roundworms and pinworms. This is exactly why it’s commonly recommended as part of a parasite cleanse.

Wormwood contains a key ingredient for the herbal medication artemisinin, which is a powerful anti-malarial. Scientific research shows that wormwood can kill cancer cells. And, wormwood tea can treat anorexia, insomnia, anemia, a lack of appetite, flatulence, stomach aches, jaundice, and indigestion.

If you want to try wormwood, seek out high-quality products like “Gut Hero” from Soul CBD for its positive medicinal effects.
