Puraeo Wormwood Essential Oil Therapeutic Grade Artemisia Bulk Herbal Oils
Product description
The plant has been used medicinally for thousands of years, with recorded uses in the Roman Empire as well as during the Han Dynasty in China. Traditionally, wormwood has been used to help digestion. And a small randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial suggests that wormwood has potential anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving benefits, as osteoarthritis patients reported significant reductions in pain after taking 150 mg of wormwood extract twice daily over a 12-week period, according to study authors. The study authors note that these findings are preliminary and that further research is required.
The herb can have some serious potential side effects, including hepatitis, hearing loss, and skin rashes. The Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center also warns against wormwood if you're epileptic because it can even induce seizures and mess with the efficacy of antiseizure medications. It also shouldn't be taken by women who are pregnant or nursing—it's considered an abortifacient, meaning that it could induce miscarriages or abortions. For people interested in the benefits of wormwood, they shouldn't try it on their own before seeking out the advice of their doctor or a qualified herbalist. They can help assess if it's something that's worth taking, and ensure that it doesn't interact with any medications a person is taking for other health conditions. The herb has some serious potential—which means it shouldn't be taken lightly.
Efficacy
Traditional uses include treating malaria, helping grow hair, and even promoting a longer lifespan. Current researchers are exploring its potential efficacy in treating diseases like Crohn's disease and malaria. And though research is sparse and more clinical human trials are needed, there are some possible wormwood benefits that make it worth having on your herbal radar.
