        Hello !

        I was just wondering if I can use Mugwort and Wormwood interchangeably when it comes to using it for parasites ? I read that their properties are basically the same.

          Both species have historically been used as wormers. I’ve never seen any comparative data on efficacy between them. My hunch is that wormwood (Artemisia absinthium) might be a little better. Most of the Artemisia species have been used for such.

          Don't use herbs or combine herbs with medications or use them during lactation or pregnancy without talking with your healthcare provider.
