by Health and Herbs
Description From Herbal Descriptions by Truman Berst: #3201 WORMWOOD (Artemisia absinthium) Wormwood is above all a stomach medicine, being useful for indigestion, gastric pain and lack of appetite, as well as the related problems of heartburn and flatulence. It is also said to be helpful for liver and gallbladder secretions. Wormwood oil is a cardiac stimulant and therefore acts when taken in proper doses, to improve blood circulation. Wormwood tea has been recommended to help relieve pain during labor. The powdered flowering tops have been used to expel intestinal worms. A fomentation of wormwood tea can be applied externally to irritations, sprains, or bruises. The oil acts as a local anesthetic when applied to relieve pains of rheumatism, neuralgia, and arthritis. CAUTION: Pure wormwood oil is a strong poison, and excessive use of the plant can also cause poisoning. With proper dosage there is little or no danger.
