• Traditionally used to help support digestion, indigestion, infections and more.
Wormwood is also known by the names Green Ginger, Southernwood, Old Woman, Absinthe, and Absinthium. Native to Europe, North Africa, and Western Asia, this herb is now cultivated in the United States and elsewhere. The plant grows from 2-4 feet in height. The part of this plant used for health benefits is the above ground portion. Wormwood's name is obviously derived from its medicinal property as a disinfectant for which it has been well known since ancient times. An Egyptian papyrus dated 1,600 years before Christ describes this bitter herb in detail. Legend has it that this plant first sprang up on the impressions that marked the serpent's tail as he slithered his way out of the Garden of Eden. Wormwood is from the Anglo Saxon "wermode," meaning "mind preserver." Its alternate name Absinthium is Latin for "without sweetness." It got its generic name Artemisia from Artemis, the Greek name for Diana, because she discovered the plant's virtues and gave them to mankind. Another story has it that it is named for Artemisia, Queen of Caria, who gave her name to the plant after she had benefited from its use. Wherever its name came from, it is one of the bitterest herbs known, even today. Its common name comes from its ability to act as a disinfectant and animals. It was used in granaries to drive away weevils and insects, and can be used as a strewing herb to drive away fleas.
In traditional traditional health, Wormwood preparations were used internally for upset stomach, intestinal atonia, stomach health, stomach ache, liver disorders, bloating, anemia, irregular menstruation, intermittent fever, loss of appetite, and worm infestations. The primary chemical constituents of Wormwood include essential oil (absinthol, azulenes, camphene, cineol, isovaleric acid, pinene, thujone, sesquiterpene lactones, absinthin), bitters (absinthium), flavonoids (quercetin), and polyacetylenes. Absinthin is a narcotic analgesic that affects the medullary portion of the brain concerned with pain and anxiety, inducing a dreamy creative state. It gives people a different view of reality. When used in small amounts, the constituent thujone works as a brain stimulant.
Wormwood is perhaps best known because of the use of its oil to prepare certain beverages, most notably vermouth and absinthe, popular in the late 1880's and early 1900's with artists such as Baudlaire, Degas, Gaugin, Manet, Toulouse Lautrec, Van Gogh and Verlaine. Absinthe caused several cases of brain damage, and even death, and was banned in most places in the early 20th century, although part of the beverage's dangerous properties may have come from copper salts used to give the drink its color. Today, Wormwood is primarily used as a bitter; it has the effect of stimulating and invigorating the whole of the digestive process. It can be used to help support indigestion, especially when due to a deficient quantity or quality of gastric juice. It is also a powerful supportive in supporting worm infestations, especially roundworm and pinworm. Wormwood may also be used to help the body deal with fever and infections. Wormwood helps increase secretions of the liver and gallbladder.
Topical uses of this herb may include its use as a liniment or compress for bruises, sore muscles, bites and pain. It is often used as an insect repellent, and made into a spray to deter pests in organic gardening. A sachet of Wormwood can be used to keep moths away from clothes. The common name Wormwood includes the species Artemisia frigida and Artemisia tilesii, which are used interchangeably with Artemisia absinthium.
The bitter, aerial portions of wormwood benefit disorders associated with the liver and gallbladder. The herb possesses disinfectant, cholagogic, stomachic, and anti-inflammatory actions making it useful for fevers, liver problems, inflammatory complaints of the GI tract. Biochemical analysis has identified absinthol, which is common to all wormwoods including southernmost and mugwort, essential oils, including pinene, cineol, borneol, phenol, cumin, aldehyde, thujone (which is a mild hallucinogenic but because of the bitter taste it would be difficult to ingest enough to satisfy anyone's interest along these lines), and artemisia ketone.
Wormwood is traditionally used to counteract fevers, support various aches and pains (like willow bark, which is another bitter), hot stomach pains, stomach health, jaundice and a healthy liver. It also kills and drives away various unwanted organisims.
There are many closely related species of wormwood found around the world that have powerful therapeutic properties. One related species (Artemisia annua) contains a sesquiterpene lactone with a peroxide group attached, which is referred to as artemisinin. The amount of artemisinin varies according to the growing season and decreases the longer it is stored. Microscopic analysis has determined that this compound works by destroying various and specific membranes of unwanted organisms, causing them to starve to death eventually. Clinical studies have demonstrated a 100% support rate in 485 cases of tertian malaria and a 92.7% support rate in 105 cases of subtertian cerebral malaria. For these reasons the U.S. Army is presently investigating Artemisia annua to help support drug-resistant malaria. It is further endorsed as a natural substitute for chloroquine, to help avoid malaria for those traveling abroad.
As for one further use for wormwood, Dioscorides, the early Roman herbalist, described the tea as an effective pesticide to spray on various garden plants to rid them of pests and parasites.
For the reduction and support of fevers and intestinal parasites, take a recommended dose two or three times daily.
For intestinal parasites combine equal parts of the powders of wormwood, garlic, goldenseal, black walnut hulls and half parts each of licorice root and ginger. Take two capsules four times daily for a week, ideally fasting on an exclusive diet of brown rice, and either black beans or Japanese azuki beans or the Indian kicharee.
Wormwood is found growing naturally in mild and temperate climate zones of Europe, North Africa, and Asia and is now cultivated in North America. Because of its attractive appearance and aroma, wormwood is often used in both residential and commercial landscaping. The wormwood has grayish-green leaves and can reach about 3 feet in height. The plant is covered with find hairs and produces yellow flowers that bloom in summer.
The oil of produced by the wormwood shrub contains two chemical compounds (toxins), thujone and isothujone. This plant also contains absithin and anabsinthin, which give the shrub a strong bitter taste. Both absithin and anabsinthin are believed to maintain healthy stomach and gallbladder function. Additionally, Wormwood may aid the body in preserving a healthy balance of friendly intestinal bacteria.
