Additional Information:

Wormwood herb has been used for centuries in traditional medicine for its various health benefits. It is believed to stimulate digestion, improve appetite, and alleviate bloating and flatulence. However, more clinical trials are needed to fully understand its efficacy and safety profile.

Pharmacological Effects: Wormwood herb is known for its bitter taste, which stimulates digestive juices and enhances appetite. It also exhibits antiparasitic properties, making it useful in treating certain infections.

Clinical Trials: A study published in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology demonstrated the effectiveness of wormwood in reducing symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) (2). Another trial in the Journal of Herbal Medicine showed its potential in improving liver function markers in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) (3).
