Important Disclaimer

This recipe is for a natural herbal tea made from wormwood plants, which some sources claim has traditional uses for digestive or antiparasitic purposes. However, it is not a method to produce ivermectin, which is a synthetic pharmaceutical drug used for treating parasitic infections in humans and animals. Ivermectin can only be obtained through licensed medical channels and should never be self-manufactured or substituted with herbal remedies without professional medical advice.

NOTE: Consuming wormwood in large amounts can be toxic due to compounds like thujone, so consult a healthcare provider before use, especially if pregnant, nursing, or on medications.

The recipe in the X post above appears to be a simple herbal infusion using sweet wormwood (Artemisia annua) and wormwood tincture (likely from Artemisia absinthium).

Here’s a rewritten version for clarity, safety, and ease of preparation:

Ingredients (for 1 cup):

– 1 teaspoon dried sweet wormwood leaves (Artemisia annua)

– 30 drops wormwood tincture (Artemisia absinthium or similar)

– 1 cup hot water

– Raw honey to taste (optional, for sweetening)

Preparation Steps:

1. Bring 1 cup of water to a boil.

2. Place 1 teaspoon of dried sweet wormwood leaves in a cup or teapot.

3. Pour the boiling water over the leaves and let it steep for 10 minutes. Cover the cup to retain heat and essential oils.

4. After steeping, strain the tea if desired (optional, as the leaves can be left in for stronger flavor).

5. Add 30 drops of wormwood tincture to enhance the herbal properties.

6. Allow the tea to cool slightly if adding honey, then stir in raw honey to taste to counteract the bitterness.

7. Drink warm.

Suggested use:

Up to 2 cups per day—one in the morning before breakfast and one in the evening before dinner—but start with smaller amounts to assess tolerance. This tea may have a very bitter taste, which is characteristic of wormwood herbs.

Where to Get the Ingredients:

These ingredients are commonly available from online retailers, herbal suppliers, health food stores, or specialty websites. Always choose reputable sources for quality and organic options where possible. Here’s a breakdown:

  • Dried Sweet Wormwood Leaves (Artemisia annua): You can purchase these from online herbal retailers or marketplaces. For example: Amazon offers premium loose-leaf options, such as Natural Artemisia Annua Dried Sweet Wormwood. eBay has dried herb packs specifically labeled as Artemisia Annua. Specialty sites like Napiers The Herbalists sell loose dried tops of sweet wormwood. Other options include Essences Bulgaria or Sears for bulk or packaged varieties. Look for organic, wild-grown products to ensure purity.
  • Wormwood Tincture: This is an alcohol-based extract available at health stores or online. Note: Specify “wormwood” (Artemisia absinthium) if that’s intended, or “sweet wormwood” for Artemisia annua variants. Examples: Amazon sells organic wormwood tinctures for digestive support. Herb Pharm offers liquid herbal extracts of wormwood. Mountain Rose Herbs provides organic wormwood extract in tincture form. Additional sources include Walmart, HerbEra, or Zenmen Health for sweet wormwood versions. Ensure the product is labeled for internal use and check alcohol content if avoiding it.
  • Hot Water: Simply use filtered tap water or bottled water from your kitchen—boil it fresh for each preparation. No purchase needed unless you prefer a specific type like spring water, available at any grocery store.
  • Raw Honey (Optional): Raw honey is unprocessed and can be found at grocery stores, farmers’ markets, or online. Choose local honey if possible for potential allergy benefits. If buying online, check for shipping restrictions, as some herbal products may have regulations in certain countries.

Always verify product freshness and consult labels for usage warnings.
