Today I present to you a medicinal plant that is in my garden.

Wormwood is known for its bitter taste, but also for the many beneficial health effects it brings. The healing effects of wormwood have been known since ancient times. Although it can help with many problems, it should be noted that it contains a substance called thujone, which can be toxic in large quantities. Thus, after about a week of regular consumption of wormwood preparations – usually teas – a short break is required.

Wormwood is extremely helpful in various digestive problems.

Wormwood has been proven to relieve cramps and stimulate blood circulation, which helps to improve blood circulation to the gastrointestinal tract and kidneys. The result is both better digestion and better metabolism. It is used to stimulate appetite, against bloating, against intestinal parasites to strengthen the intestinal mucosa.

Wormwood is a semi-shrub that reaches a height of up to 1.2 m. The leaves are spirally arranged, covered with silky hairs and characteristic gray-green color. Inflorescence consisting of tubular yellow flowers. Wormwood originates from Europe, Asia and North Africa. Wormwood herb contains bitters, among which the sesquiterpene lactone absinthe and its isomer anabsintin are important. The essential oil contains mainly terpenes, such as alpha- and beta-thujone and other ingredients.Since ancient times, wormwood was considered a remedy for stomach, liver and bile problems. In some countries, in addition to relieving digestive problems, it has also been used as an antiseptic, for menstrual pain, and to relieve other women's problems. In folk medicine, it is considered an extremely good remedy for poor stomach function (stomach), poor digestion (carminative) and biliary problems. The bitterness contained in wormwood stimulates appetite through increased secretion of gastric juices.It is a well-known wormwood flower or wormwood that restores the joy of food. This traditional alcoholic beverage was joined in the early 19th century by absinthe, which has long been considered an aphrodisiac and is said to encourage creativity, so it has been used by many artists. It was soon banned in many countries due to the harmful effects of thujone. In folk medicine, other types of wormwood are also used, similar to real wormwood to stimulate appetite through increased secretion of gastric juices.
