Artemisia absinthium var. pannonica
Central European wormwood used in Romanian and Hungarian folk medicine for digestive bitters and antiparasitic treatments.
Romanian Wormwood (Artemisia absinthium var. pannonica) is a Central European bitter herb traditionally used in Romanian and Hungarian folk medicine as a digestive bitter and antiparasitic. Its key active compounds include the sesquiterpene lactones absinthin and artabsin, along with the volatile oil component chamazulene and the neurotoxic thujone. Modern evidence supports its use for dyspepsia and as a choleretic, though thujone content necessitates careful dosing and contraindications.
The bitter compounds absinthin and artabsin stimulate bitter taste receptors (TAS2Rs) on the tongue and in the gut, triggering a vagal reflex that increases gastric acid secretion, bile flow, and pancreatic enzyme release, thereby improving digestion. Chamazulene and other sesquiterpene lactones exhibit anti-inflammatory and antispasmodic effects via inhibition of NF-κB and COX-2 pathways. Thujone acts as a GABA-A receptor antagonist, which can lead to neuroexcitation and convulsions at high doses, while also contributing to antiparasitic activity against intestinal helminths.
