Wormwood:

Uses & Effectiveness

Insufficient Evidence for

• Crohn’s disease. Early research shows that taking wormwood daily for 6-10 weeks improves symptoms, quality of life, and mood in some patients with Crohn’s disease. It also seems to reduce the amount of steroids needed by people with this condition.

• A certain kidney disease called IgA nephropathy. Early research shows that taking wormwood daily for 6 months can reduce blood pressure and levels of protein in the urine in people with IgA nephropathy.

• Osteoarthritis. Early research suggests that applying ointment or liniment containing wormwood to the knee might reduce pain in people with osteoarthritis. But it doesn’t seem to improve stiffness or function. Wormwood also doesn’t seem to be as effective as using a prescription gel containing a medicine called piroxicam.

• Gallbladder disorders. • Increasing sweating.
• Indigestion.
• Insect bites.

• Loss of appetite.
• Low sexual desire.
• Spasms.
• Worm infestations.
• Wounds.
• Other conditions.
Special Precautions & Warnings:

Side effects :

Pregnancy and breast-feeding: Wormwood is LIKELY UNSAFE when taken by mouth during pregnancy in amounts greater than what is commonly found in food. The concern is the possible thujone content. Thujone might affect the uterus and endanger the pregnancy. It’s also best to avoid topical wormwood, since not enough is known about the safety of applying wormwood directly to the skin.

If you are breast-feeding, don’t use wormwood until more is known about safety.

Allergy to ragweed and related plants: Wormwood may cause an allergic reaction in people who are sensitive to the Asteraceae/ Compositae family. Members of this family include ragweed,

chrysanthemums, marigolds, daisies, and many others. If you have allergies, be sure to check with your healthcare provider before taking wormwood.

A rare inherited blood condition called porphyria: Thujone present in wormwood oil might increase the body’s production of chemicals called porphyrins. This could make porphyria worse.

Kidney disorders: Taking wormwood oil might cause kidney failure. If you have kidney problems, talk with your healthcare provider before taking wormwood.

Seizure disorders, including epilepsy: Wormwood contains thujone, which can cause seizures. There is concern that wormwood might make seizures more likely in people who are prone to them.
