Artemisia bush

Wormwood, or evshan, is a perennial medicinal plant with a spicy odor that is used in folk medicine. The leaves and stems of the herb contain essential oils, resins, phytoncides, tanning agents, bitter glycosides, starch, and vitamins.

The plant contains acetic, malic and succinic acid. Wormwood is used to get rid of parasites and strengthen the body's defense system.

Use of dried herbs

You will need 100 g of dry wormwood. According to research, the infusions do not completely reach distant parts of the large intestine, some are absorbed, and the content of the medicinal components of the drug no longer causes harm to the worms. The decoction must pass through the entire intestine to cleanse the areas completely.

The first days the herb is taken in this way: for three days, a teaspoon of dried herb is taken with liquid. For the next four, take up to 4 per day. Regardless of your usual eating schedule, the course lasts 7 days.

Using this product, the body is cleansed; it is best used in the spring and autumn, when the parasite is activated. During treatment, you will need to follow a vegetable and fruit diet, perform enemas once a day, and douche twice (for women).

Botanical description


SagebrushArtemisia absinthium or wormwood is a perennial herbaceous plant of the Asteraceae family that grows up to 2 meters.
The shoots are erect, paniculate-branched shoots with silvery pubescence. The leaves are pinnately dissected and attached to the stem on a long petiole. Wormwood blooms in August or September, depending on the climate of the growing area. Yellow spherical baskets form a pointed achene up to 1 cm long. Grows in steppes and forest-steppe areas of temperate latitudes. To prepare medicines, the plant is harvested before flowering. Collected separately:

  • leaves;
  • the upper parts of stems that are not woody;
  • rhizomes (they are washed well and crushed).

Dry plant materials in a shaded, ventilated place. Oil is extracted from the seeds of wormwood.

Wormwood enema

The recipe is simple - 2 tsp. dried wormwood is poured with boiling water in a volume of 1 liter, infused, cooled to 36-37 0C, filtered.

Before using an enema, you should exclude fats, sugary drinks, and sweets from your diet for a week. Drinking liquids in unlimited quantities, overeating is strictly prohibited. Before the evening enema, the last meal takes place around 16:00, then until the procedure - still water. The volume of injected decoction ranges from a liter to two. Depends on the patient's build. An enema with wormwood lasts for 3-4 days.

It is permissible to slightly change the composition - add a teaspoon of tansy to the wormwood.

After applying the method, it is mandatory to take lacto- and bifidobacteria for a month. Wormwood is able to cleanse the body of parasites and at the same time of positive microflora.

Side effects: pain in the sides, joints, cutting pain, fatigue.

Duration of therapy

Despite the fact that wormwood has been used to treat parasites for a long time and is an effective remedy, you will still need at least two courses of treatment, because helminths lay several dozen eggs a day.

To get rid of this problem, you will need to treat not only all family members and pets, but also repeat the procedure for preventive purposes. Cleansing the body will happen much faster if you do all the procedures after 14 days.

Even if there is no such problem, you should definitely take anti-helminth medications 1-2 times a year. Herbal infusions will cost much less than medications. However, it is worth remembering that you should not take medicinal infusions for more than two weeks, unless the prescription says otherwise.

Along with medicinal herbal infusions, it is recommended to take laxatives (to speed up the elimination of toxins and prevent the development of allergic reactions), as well as protective agents that will help restore the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract.

Three components

The result will be obtained by cleansing with the help of a composition called “troika”, i.e. a combination of nut (walnut) shells, wormwood and clove seeds; a tincture is prepared from the combination of ingredients.

The “Russian triad of Ivanchenko” is known. Young leaves and stems of wormwood, ground cloves (seeds) in combination with tansy.

  1. The components are washed into a powder state.
  2. Mix in a ratio of 4 parts tansy to 1 part wormwood and 2 parts cloves.

Taking the drug - start with one serving half an hour before meals, add a spoon daily, bringing it to a volume of three servings. Use the final product for a week. Now reduce the amount to three times a week. Carry out the procedure throughout the year for prevention.

Pregnancy, ulcers and pancreatitis are considered contraindications.

What doctors say about treating parasites

Doctor of Medical Sciences, Professor German Shaevich Gandelman

Work experience: more than 30 years.

I have been detecting and treating parasites for many years. I can say with confidence that almost everyone is infected with parasites. It's just that most of them are extremely difficult to detect. They can be anywhere - in the blood, intestines, lungs, heart, brain.

Parasites literally devour you from the inside, at the same time poisoning your body. As a result, numerous health problems appear, shortening life by 15-25 years.

The main mistake is delaying! The sooner you start removing parasites, the better. If we talk about medications, then everything is problematic. Today there is only one truly effective anti-parasitic complex, this is TOXIMIN. It destroys and sweeps out all known parasites from the body - from the brain and heart to the liver and intestines. None of the drugs existing today is capable of this.

Within the framework of the Federal program, when submitting an application before June 10. (inclusive) every resident of the Russian Federation and the CIS can receive one package of TOXIMIN FOR FREE!

The basic principle of anthelmintic therapy is an integrated step-by-step approach. However, it is first necessary to establish the type of parasites and the degree of damage to the body, since the choice of medications and their dosage, which are determined only by a doctor, depends on this.

The symptoms of parasitic infestation are often similar to other diseases, so it is usually possible to identify a specific type of parasite only through laboratory tests.

The treatment regimen is divided into 4 stages:

  1. preparatory, with the intake of sorbents and probiotics;
  2. active therapy, with the use of anthelmintic and choleretic, as well as antihistamines;
  3. cleansing (which goes in parallel with the second stage), with taking laxatives to cleanse the body of toxins released by dead helminths;
  4. restorative, with the use of choleretic, protective, enzyme and immunostimulating agents.

Usually stages 2 and 3 are combined, since cleansing the body of parasites is crucial for the success of treatment.

While taking these medications, the therapeutic effects of wormwood become even more effective.

Before you start taking the course, you need to remember:

  • wormwood, like any other anthelmintic, should be taken before meals, 30-40 minutes in advance (sometimes you can find a recommendation for 15-20 minutes); Some recipes also recommend taking the herb just before bed;
  • the recipes below indicate not only the dosage and regimen, but also how to properly prepare wormwood or its mixture with other herbs;
  • It is usually recommended to take wormwood for parasites for no longer than 2 weeks, but the specific timing must be determined by a doctor.

Wormwood is also highly valued for cleansing the body of various types of worms (parasites), both on its own and in combination (collected) with other herbs. Parasites not only consume all the most valuable and useful things that we eat, but also crap into our body, poisoning it with their waste products. They are dangerous because they can quietly and imperceptibly kill a person, gradually taking away his strength, and when he weakens, they multiply with even greater intensity. There have been cases when people infected with worms were diagnosed as cancer patients, because they wasted away before our eyes, and naturally, they were treated by irradiation and poisoning with chemicals, and when they died, after an autopsy it turned out that all this was due to a large number of worms.

Here are some effective folk recipes using wormwood to get rid of worms (parasites):

The course of treatment is several weeks until the stomach is completely cleared of worms. Use as a general anthelmintic.

3. Cleaning (cleansing) with dry wormwood from parasites. We take the prepared dry wormwood and grind it into powder, you will need about 100 g. Why dry? The decoction, as practice has shown, does not reach distant parts of the intestine (large intestine), it is absorbed along the way and remains in a non-destructive concentration for worms. It is important that wormwood passes through the entire digestive tract and treats (cleanses) all areas.

  7. The duration of therapy is a minimum of 14 days, a maximum of 30.
  8. It is advisable to take wormwood in dry form for preparing products.
  9. It is strictly forbidden to exceed the dosage, as some components of the herb have a toxic effect.
  10. It is very important during the treatment period to limit the consumption of meat, sweets, eggs, and alcoholic beverages. This creates a favorable environment for the development of parasites.

Bitter wormwood is capable of destroying and removing only adult, fully formed helminths. Therefore, it is recommended to simultaneously take additional agents that neutralize helminthic larvae and eggs.

Main stages of therapy

  1. The preparatory stage involves the use of drugs and agents that soften the effect of wormwood and remove toxins.
  2. Taking wormwood and other remedies.
  3. The use of laxatives to speed up the process of removing dead worms.
  4. The recovery stage is necessary for the immune system and digestive system. It is imperative to take a course of immunomodulatory drugs, as well as choleretic, protective and enzymatic drugs.

First aid for wormwood poisoning

If signs of poisoning appear, it is necessary, first of all, to stop further intake of wormwood. Since wormwood poisoning is chronic, rinsing the stomach is pointless. While waiting for medical help, you should do the following:

  1. Place the patient in bed and apply a cold compress (towel soaked in cold water) to the head.
  2. Provide fresh air flow.
  3. During convulsive seizures, ensure the safety of the patient: make sure that he does not fall out of bed, bite his tongue, or suffocate with a sunken tongue or vomit. Immediately after the end of the attack, the oral cavity should be cleared of accumulated saliva and, possibly, vomit.
  4. Drink as much as possible of any warm liquid (tea, milk, water).
  5. If there is no diarrhea, take Vaseline oil orally.

How to take wormwood for children against worms

Wormwood tastes very bitter, so children do not really like this treatment. And a child’s body is significantly different from an adult’s. So what is the correct way to give children antihelminthics from wormwood? Peculiarities:

  • Giardia infection is common in childhood, but it is more difficult for a child to get rid of them than for an adult. This is due to the fact that the acidic environment of the stomach of children is very low, and this contributes to the activation of parasites. Therefore, wormwood should be used along with drug therapy.
  • Children also often become infected with pinworms and roundworms. Wormwood copes with such parasites on its own. But in this case, parents are required to take special care and adhere to hygiene rules. Be sure to change bed linen and clothing daily. Wash them thoroughly and then iron them. It is advisable to carry out preventive measures for all family members.
  • The duration of treatment for children is slightly shorter than for adults. It is advisable to repeat the course.

Wormwood in alcohol - pharmacological action

A tincture of the plant is used in medicine as an effective secretory agent. The use of such a medicine promotes the active production of pancreatic juices, and also makes it possible to activate the outflow of bile. In general, the drug has the following effects on the body:

  • Sedative.
  • Antihelminthic.
  • Antispasmodic.
  • Disinfectant.
  • Blood purifying.
  • Wound healing.
  • Antitumor.
  • Anti-inflammatory.

Cooking recipes

Wormwood can be prepared in different ways. In fact, there are a lot of recipes, but first of all you need to familiarize yourself with the most effective ones.

How to make wormwood powder

Wormwood in powder form is quite effective. The powder is used internally. You need to drink it with water. A high degree of effectiveness is achieved due to the slow passage of the powder through the intestinal compartments. The duration of the course of treatment is only a week. Reception regimen:

  • On days 1, 2 and 3, drink 1 level teaspoon 6 times a day;
  • the rest of the days - four times a day for the same amount.

In total you will need 100 grams of powder. You can also prepare it at home. Take the seed part of the wormwood, as well as some dry leaves and grind in a coffee grinder.

Wormwood oil

Wormwood oil is not consumed orally, but is absorbed in the oral cavity. As soon as it enters the mouth, it begins to actively thicken, making it comfortable to dissolve. But then it takes on a liquid form. You need to keep the oil in your mouth for 15-20 minutes. For one time, a tablespoon of the product is enough. After the procedure in the oral cavity, spit out the oil and rinse your mouth with wormwood decoction.

To prepare, you will need 1 kg of fresh wormwood leaves and 0.3 liters of vegetable oil. Chop the leaves finely and combine with the oil base. Leave in darkness and cool for 15 days. The product needs to be stirred periodically. Be sure to strain before use.

Tincture and infusion

The tincture is prepared on the basis of alcohol, so it is not used in children. High quality vodka or medical alcohol is used. The product is infused for 7-10 days in a dark and cool place. The tincture can be stored for a long time - up to 2 years. If you are preparing a tincture from 96% alcohol, then before use you should dilute it with water (1:3).

To prepare the tincture, take dry herb or seeds of wormwood and vodka in a ratio of 1:5, that is, 5 tablespoons of vodka per spoon of herb. After steeping, be sure to strain. You need to take it twice a day - 15 drops in the morning and evening.

To use alcohol tincture for children, it is recommended to make it in a smaller proportion - 1:10.

The infusion is made based on water. To prepare the best recipe, take equal proportions of wormwood, immortelle, St. John's wort, chamomile, yarrow, buckthorn, and oak bark. In total, you should have 7 teaspoons of the mixture. This amount will require 0.5 liters of boiling water, which is poured into the herb in a thermos and left to steep for 8-10 hours. Take 50 ml on an empty stomach once a day. The duration of the course of therapy is 10 days. Then rest for at least 3 days, and again a course of treatment.

How to prepare decoctions

Decoctions of the herb wormwood are used for oral consumption and enemas. For 200 ml of water you need a teaspoon of dry wormwood. Pour boiling water over the herb and place in a water bath. Boil for 5-6 minutes. Leave until cool. Take 100 ml orally three times a day. Please note that decoctions need to be prepared daily.

“Russian triad”: tincture (wormwood + cloves + tansy)

The “Russian Troychatka” tincture is very popular. This treatment method was invented by Ivanchenko. To prepare the product you need to take herbs in powder form:

All components are combined and consumed in powder or tincture form. For tincture, pour boiling water over the powder in generally accepted proportions. But it is better to take it dry according to this scheme:

  • day 1: drink 1 tsp on an empty stomach. powder half an hour before breakfast;
  • day 2: take twice a day (morning and lunch);
  • day 3-7: consume three times a day;
  • The duration of the course is a week.

When to collect wormwood for treatment

An important factor in the effectiveness and preservation of all medicinal properties is the correct collection, preparation and storage of plants. In order for everything to be done efficiently and correctly, all typical rules should be followed, namely:

  • Know exactly what you need for your treatments.
  • Harvesting occurs exclusively during certain periods when there is a maximum concentration of important medicinal substances in the plant.
  • Above-ground parts of plants are collected exclusively in dry form. Raw ones cannot be dried completely, which will lead to rotting of the workpiece.
  • Collect raw materials as far as possible from society (roads, enterprises, landfills and other polluting sites).
  • When collecting, cause minimal harm to the plant.
  • After a couple of hours, you should disassemble the raw materials, clean them of debris, dirt and other unnecessary components.
  • Dry by laying out or hanging in a room where there is no direct sunlight, but there is good ventilation.

But each plant has its own requirements and subtleties in preparation. Now we will move on to the most important thing - how and when to collect wormwood for treatment:

  1. Wormwood flowers should be collected during the flowering period, which occurs in June or July. You need to collect only the tender tops, carefully cutting them off.
  2. If necessary, prepare leaves, but this must be done before the grass blooms. Approximately in May-June.
  3. In order for wormwood to bring maximum benefits for medicinal purposes, it is necessary to strictly adhere to the timing. Later time will already make the plant weak.
  4. To prevent the grass from darkening, it should be placed in the basket without pressure and not compacted.
  5. Dry exclusively in the shade and with a good draft. Distribute the layer approximately every 5 centimeters.

Finished raw materials should be stored in ventilated containers or bags. The place for storing raw materials should be dry and warm.

Enema with wormwood for worms

When treating worms, it is very important to get rid of them comprehensively. Therefore, doctors most often prescribe enemas. To prepare an enema solution, pour boiling water over the dry herb at the rate of 1 tablespoon of wormwood - 200 ml of water. You can use a thermos for infusion or wrap the container in a woolen cloth.

The solution is used at a temperature of 36 degrees. The duration of the course of treatment corresponds to the course of taking the drugs orally (orally).

To do an enema, you need to lie on your side and lay down an oilcloth. The solution is injected inside for a while. The patient then performs a bowel movement. Be sure to use protective medical gloves when administering an enema.

You can learn about the principles of using enemas from the video provided to your attention:

You can increase the effectiveness of an enema through preliminary fasting. To do this, drink herbal decoctions, fresh juices for 2 days, and eat only low-calorie fruits and vegetables in small quantities.

Beneficial and antiparasitic properties

The healing properties of wormwood are due to its composition: along with macro- and microelements and vitamin C, the plant also contains a number of organic acids, carotene and unique essential oils.

Due to its composition, the plant is used both in folk and official medicine as the first remedy for treating the liver, gall bladder and biliary tract, as well as for gastrointestinal dysfunction, appetite disturbances, etc.

Wormwood is used in the form of infusions, tinctures, decoctions, lotions, compresses, and also for enemas.

However, it is even better known as an effective phytotherapeutic remedy for human parasites.

Despite the large number of medications for helminths, herbal medicine is also actively used to get rid of parasites and prevent helminth infections.

Just do not forget that it makes sense to take products containing this plant for parasites only if you follow a special diet with certain restrictions.

As is known, helminthic infestation has a negative effect on the entire human body, and therefore the effects of wormwood are especially valuable in several aspects:

  • as an anthelmintic due to the high bitterness content of wormwood, which has a detrimental effect on parasites, and not only helminths;
  • due to the secretory effect on stimulating the secretion of the gallbladder, normalizing the gastrointestinal tract and intestinal microflora;
  • as a means of detoxification (cleansing) of the blood and the entire body from toxic waste products of worms (antienzymes);
  • for general strengthening of the body and its immune system.

In addition, the plant also has anti-inflammatory, hemostatic, analgesic, antiseptic, antipyretic and anticonvulsant effects, which led to its use for a number of diseases, including:

  • for pathologies of the nervous system, including sleep disorders;
  • in case of metabolic disorders;
  • for diseases of the genitourinary tract and reproductive system;
  • for diseases of the gastrointestinal tract;
  • for tumors;
  • in the treatment of alcoholism.

Contraindications

  • pregnancy, as there is a risk of premature birth and miscarriage;
  • lactation, since the bitterness of wormwood penetrates the mammary glands and, accordingly, into the milk;
  • excessively heavy menstruation (in this case, the herb causes bleeding);
  • wormwood phytoncides have a negative effect on the respiratory system in bronchial asthma;
  • diabetes mellitus and anemia;
  • chronic form of gastrointestinal diseases in the acute stage;
  • allergic reaction;
  • age up to 3 years.

Be sure to consult your doctor for contraindications before using traditional medicine from wormwood. In addition, it is important to establish the etiology of the parasites and the extent of the damage. The choice of product and dosage depend on this.

Briefly about weed

The translation of the Latin name of wormwood is “Artemisia” - “giving health.” The Russian name comes from the Slavic word “Polti” - “to burn”. The grass is indeed very bitter in taste, and its bitterness literally burns your mouth.

Tinctures, ointments and decoctions from this herb are far from the most pleasant to taste, however, when did these medicines taste good?

The plant is absolutely unpretentious, grows in continental and sharply continental climates, and is equally resistant to frost, heat, and drought. One bush produces about 100 thousand seeds.

To better understand why you should drink wormwood, let’s look at its composition:

  • The plant contains the most valuable essential oil, which accounts for about 2% of its weight;
  • The grass is rich in vitamin B6 or pyridoxine, ascorbic acid (vitamin C), carotene, vitamin K;
  • It contains about a dozen important organic acids, of which malic and succinic acids stand out;
  • Wormwood is rich in phytoncides, saponins and flavonoids;
  • The composition also contains alkaloids and lactones;
  • Among the macroelements, potassium, calcium and sulfur stand out;
  • The list of microelements contained in the plant includes zinc, copper, iron, magnesium, molybdenum, nickel and others;
  • Artabsin, absinthine and anabsintin give the grass its characteristic bitterness;

Such an extensive healing basket clearly explains the widespread use of the plant as a medicine. Foliage is most often used for medicinal purposes, but sometimes flowering baskets are also used.

Features of reception in adults

Tips from our readers

I got rid of parasites in just a week! I was helped by a remedy that I learned about from an interview with a parasitologist.

It is best for an adult to take the plant in its pure form, in powder, or simply chew it as is.

The fact is that tinctures and decoctions are absorbed by the body in the small intestine, without reaching the large intestine, and there are also many parasites there.

If you take wormwood in fresh or dry form, it will be absorbed much more slowly and will cleanse the large intestine of parasites, since they do not tolerate bitterness at all.

Reviews from those who have tried this method indicate its effectiveness. However, it is recommended that you consult your doctor.
