⚠️ Safety First: Using Wormwood Wisely
Wormwood’s potency, particularly due to its thujone content, requires careful use to avoid side effects:
- Avoid Overuse: Excessive consumption can lead to nausea, dizziness, or, in rare cases, seizures. Stick to recommended dosages.
- Not for Pregnancy or Breastfeeding: Wormwood may stimulate uterine contractions, making it unsafe during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
- Allergy Awareness: Those allergic to Asteraceae family plants (like ragweed or daisies) may experience sensitivities.
- Drug Interactions: Wormwood may interact with anticoagulants, antiepileptics, or sedatives. Consult a healthcare provider before use.
- Short-Term Use: Limit wormwood use to short periods to prevent potential toxicity.
Always consult a healthcare professional or herbalist before starting wormwood, especially if you have underlying health conditions or are new to herbal remedies.
