Artemisia absinthium
Wormwood is a perennial herb known historically as the key ingredient in absinthe. It has been used medicinally since ancient Egypt for digestive complaints and parasitic infections. Its compound artemisinin (from related species A. annua) won the Nobel Prize in 2015 for treating malaria.
Wormwood (Artemisia absinthium) is a bitter herb historically used in absinthe and traditional medicine for digestive disorders and parasitic infections. Its key active compounds include absinthin, thujone, and chamazulene, which contribute to its choleretic, spasmolytic, and antimicrobial effects. Modern evidence supports its use for dyspepsia, appetite loss, and small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), though thujone content necessitates caution.
Wormwood's bitter compounds (absinthin, artabsin) stimulate bitter taste receptors (TAS2Rs) on the tongue and gut, triggering vagal reflexes that increase gastric acid secretion, bile flow, and gut motility. Thujone acts as a GABA-A receptor antagonist, which can cause neuroexcitation and seizures at high doses, while chamazulene and bisabolol provide anti-inflammatory and spasmolytic effects via COX-2 inhibition and smooth muscle relaxation. The herb also exhibits antimicrobial activity against intestinal pathogens through disruption of bacterial cell membranes.
