Wormwood Tea
You’re not alone if you haven’t heard of wormwood tea. This herbal tea is not as well-known as others, but it has a long history of use dating back to Ancient Rome. It is being used as an effective and safe treatment for pinworm infestation. Wormwood tea is made from the leaves and stems of the Artemisia absinthium plant. This plant has been used for centuries to treat gastrointestinal problems like indigestion, diarrhea, and nausea. Wormwood tea works by killing parasites in your intestine. It’s also thought to reduce inflammation and help with digestion. Not only does wormwood tea kill the parasite that causes pinworm, but it also helps to soothe the itchiness and inflammation associated with the infection.
Wormwood tea is made by steeping dried wormwood leaves in hot water and has anthelmintic properties that can help fight off the infection. To make wormwood tea, place one teaspoon of dried wormwood leaves in a cup and pour eight ounces of boiling water over them. Cover the cup and let the tea steep for ten minutes before drinking while warm. Repeat two to three times per day until the symptoms go away.
