Wormwood

A bitter tea is made from the green, leafy plant wormwood (Artemisia absinthium). Although it requires some getting used to, you may mellow the flavor with honey and lemon juice. Wormwood is occasionally used in digestive bitters because of its bitter flavor. These bitter herbs and spices are included in the supplements, which may promote digestion. One gram dried wormwood capsules, according to human research, may help prevent or treat indigestion or upper abdominal pain. By encouraging the flow of digestive fluids, this plant helps improve a healthy digestion and lessen bloating.

According to animal and test-tube studies, wormwood may also destroy parasites, which can cause bloating. Wormwood tea, on the other hand, has not been studied for its anti-bloating properties. More investigation is required. To make the tea, steep 1 teaspoon (1.5 grams) dry herb in 1 cup (240 ml) boiling water for 5 minutes. Wormwood, in particular, should not be taken during pregnancy because it contains thujone, a chemical that can trigger uterine contractions.
