Wormwood (Artemisia absinthium) is an herb with many potential health benefits, including:

• Digestion: Wormwood can help with digestion problems like loss of appetite, upset stomach, flatulence, gastritis, and intestinal spasms. The herb's terpenes compound can stimulate stomach mucus and intestinal secretions, which can help soothe digestive disorders. Wormwood can also reduce stomach acids, which can help with acid reflux.
• Liver and gallbladder: Wormwood is traditionally used as a remedy for liver and gallbladder problems.  Wormwood has demonstrated hepatoprotective effects in animal models by reducing oxidation and exhibiting anti-inflammatory properties, thereby reducing liver damage. It can also be used as part of a liver flush to clear out congestion in this important organ.
• Antibacterial and antifungal: Wormwood extracts have shown antibacterial and antifungal activity. 
• Anti-inflammatory: Wormwood can help ease inflammation. Wormwood contains the phytochemicals "azulenes", compounds which are proven to have powerful anti-inflammatory activity. Whilst inflammation is a necessary step in the healing process - persistent, low-level inflammation is at the root of practically all known chronic health conditions, including everything from rheumatoid arthritis and high cholesterol to dementia. This anti-inflammatory effect is responsible for the relief Wormwood can provide from the pain and swelling of arthritis.

• ***Wormwood is an herb that may help ease inflammation, improve digestion, treat skin infections, and kill parasites like tapeworms. Even so, there is not enough evidence that wormwood can treat or prevent any medical condition.
