There has been a lot of discussion on parasite treatment lately, and I've noticed some confusion regarding Artemisia.
The species Artemisia annua, or the constituent Artemisinin, is used for treating red blood cell parasites like Babesia and Malaria.
The species Artemisia absinthe is for GI parasites or disseminated filarial worms. It is the one used in Hulda Clark's regimen.
Both are types of Wormwood. Artemisia annua is also called Sweet Wormwood.
As herbs have broad spectrum antimicrobial action, each may have some activity against all types of parasites. But for best results, use the Artemisia annua for Babesia and Artemisia absinthe for other parasites.
And neither should be used as single herb treatments. They are best used in combination with other herbs or Rx meds.
For those who already know this, please ignore this post.

Thanks BoxerMom! That is great information and I did not know that.
What about the products that just say Wormwood?
Like Parastroy?
Any idea what kind of artemisia that is?

I'm sure it's Artemisia absinthe in products like Humaworm and Parastroy.
