Wormwood (Artemisia)is a popular herb that herbalists have used for thousands of years to treat virus infections (especially flue virus infections), parasite problems, liver and indigestion problems. In the last couple of month, Artemisia has received some well-deserved attention.
Wormwood is extremely bitter and that is the reason why it works so well for indigestion and other digestive system issues.
100% Artemisia afra (African wormwood / Lengana) dried leaves and stems
How to use.
Put one teaspoon of herbs in an empty cup and then pour boiling water over it until the cup is full. To clear your sinuses, you can inhale the steam before drinking it. Drink while still hot. Wormwood induces sweating, and you will get the same kind of "heating up" as MedLemon. You can drink some or all of the leaves too; in fact, I encourage you to do so.
One cup in the evening before going to bed as a flue precaution in winter. When flue symptoms do appear drink 2 cups per day for 3 days then 1 cup per day until flue symptoms disappear. Do not use longer than 3 weeks uninterrupted.
One 45g pack will make about 56 servings.
Do not use during pregnancy[
In addition: Increase your ZInc rich foods and skin exposure to the sun (for vitamin D). A zinc supplement will increase the anti-viral effect of the wormwood.
