I have been taking powdered black walnut husk as a general parasite cleanse and was thinking about adding in wormwood and then fresh ground cloves. Has anyone used this combo and did you use whole herb wormwood or the tincture? No need to be graphic on what it killed off. Just details about dosage and general how-to 's and any contra-indicators.

You know that experience of not knowing you were not feeling well until suddenly you notice you feel great? I have that feeling from doing the black walnut husk. My thoughts are clearer and I am even more cheerful. ( I am pretty sharp and almost a perpetual Pollyanna anyway)

I have also been oil pulling and had a recent visit to the dentist, who remarked I must have using that fancy electric toothbrush they sold me 6 months ago as my teeth were a breeze to clean. ( I was not using the brush as often as directed-- I felt it was going to grind the enamel off my teeth).

Love Earthclinic and hope someone has some input on the Wormwood.

Dear Suzy,

Regarding wormwood...I have only used it as an anti-parasitic for my goats. But the place where I used to get the wormwood combination for my goats used it on people in her family, too.

Here is a link for that:

Link to Molly's Herbals

Herbalist Humbart Santillo, in his book, "Natural Healing with Herbs" has the following recommendations for using wormwood tops and leaves.

Infusion: Steep 5-15 minutes. 3 oz, as needed, up to 2 cups daily.

Tincture: 10-30 drops three to four times daily.

Powder - 2-4 #0 capsules three to four times daily.

These dosages are for an adult.

Wormwood should not be used during pregnancy and can be toxic in high amounts.

If you try it, let us know if you find it helpful. I am glad the Black Walnut is working for you.

Wormwood had no effect on my son's threadworms whatsoever, nor raw garlic or anything else!!!!

Ask your pharmacist for pin-x or an otc with pyrantal in it.

Wormwood itself is effective against many parasites as is black walnut husks. I must again suggest Artemisia Combination from Nature's Sunshine Products. I use it myself as part of my cleansing program. I also give it to my dogs once a month in winter and once a week during the warm seasons. They never get fleas and never get positive results when check for parasites at the vet.
