Wormwood (Artemisia absinthium) is an herb used in traditional Chinese medicine for a variety of conditions such as fever, inflammation, headache, and malaria. It grows in a variety of climates, including parts of Europe, Asia, Africa, South America, and the United States.
All parts of the plant have been used in traditional medicine for hundreds of years. Wormwood contains vitamins or minerals, but it also contains a number of plant compounds, the most famous of which is thujone. This substance occurs in two forms - alpha- and beta-thujone, which differ at the molecular level. Thujone is believed to excite the brain by blocking gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), a neurotransmitter that has a calming effect on the central nervous system.
Studies show that wormwood contains many other antioxidants and phytochemicals, including:
- Artemisinin;
- Monoterpenes;
- Polyphenols;
- Coumarins;
- Flavones;
- Flavonols;
- Phenolic acids;
- Lots of sesquiterpenes.
Health benefits:
Wormwood has pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory properties. The herb may help relieve osteoarthritis, a painful condition resulting from inflammation of the joints.
- Fights parasitic infections
Wormwood has been used to treat intestinal worms since ancient Egypt. Its antiparasitic properties are due to thujone. The herb can fight tapeworms and other parasites.
- Has antioxidant properties
Besides thujone, another notable compound in mugwort is chamazulene. It acts as an antioxidant and is most concentrated in the essential oils, which are extracted in the pre-flowering phase of the plant. Antioxidants like chamazulene can fight oxidative stress in the body, which is linked to the development of cancer, cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer's disease, and other diseases.
Artemisinin, another plant compound found in mugwort, may help fight inflammation. The compound inhibits cytokines, specific proteins secreted by the immune system that promote inflammation in the body. Mugwort may help relieve symptoms caused by Crohn's disease, which is characterized by inflammation of the lining of the digestive tract. Symptoms include diarrhea, fatigue, abdominal cramps, and other digestive problems.
