Wormwood leaf powder is an antiquated herb with a reputation for removing parasites and harmful bacterium’s from the body. Wormwood is poisonous to parasites and the germs that cause bacterial vaginosis. Wormwood is part of a very aggressive approach to ridding the body of systemic yeast and bacterial vaginosis infections.
It is said that wormwood can dislodge and kill BV, or yeast, even after it has “taken root” in the gut and in your vagina. Candida and BV infections can, in fact, get to the point that it produces roots, which it uses to attach itself to the intestinal walls. Once it gets to this stage, it can be difficult to eradicate. Wormwood is said to do the job.
Wormwood is a digestive tonic that stimulates appetite and enhances digestion by producing more HCl and increased bile production. Wormwood also helps strengthen the immune system from the cellular level; this subsequently leads to the eradication of the BV.
How does Wormwood Leaf work?
Wormwood is a 100% natural treatment and can be found in most health food stores in capsule form. Normal usage of wormwood includes three capsules, twice a day for the first month and three capsules daily for the following months.
Wormwood is generally taken in capsule form. It is very bitter, making it unpleasant as a tea or tincture. The capsules are best taken on an empty stomach. When taken before meals, wormwood capsules stimulate the appetite and have a chance to reach the intestines before any food matter.
How should you take Wormwood Leaf?
It is recommended that wormwood, like any herbal candida treatment, be taken in conjunction with BV fighting foods. It also needs to be taken for some time to rid the body of BV, usually at least 2 weeks and up to a month.
When taking Wormwood as a treatment is normal to experience side effects with symptoms of fatigue, headaches and minor body pains. This is considered normal and merely a response from your immune system as the BV infection dies off and is flushed out of your body. It’s your body’s way of saying that things are going to get a whole lot worse before it gets better.
Where can you find Wormwood Leaf?
Wormwood can be found at any general pharmacy, online store or general supplement store. It’s best to find wormwood from a trusted source that has a safe dosage which will take care of the BV infection. It is best to take wormwood with other foods that help in getting rid of the bacterial vaginosis.
The benefits of wormwood are not limited to its efficacy against harmful organisms. Wormwood also contains compounds known to stimulate digestion by supporting liver and gallbladder function. The benefit can be increased when combined with other digestive herbs such as peppermint and ginger.
Who should not take Wormwood leaf?
General rule of thumb for people before they start and intake of herbal supplements is to talk to your physician beforehand. With something like bacterial vaginosis, most antifungal, antimicrobial properties are recommended. The time when Wormwood is unsafe is for women during pregnancy. Other conditions that do not mix well are people with ragweed allergies, kidney disorders, and epileptics.
