Suggested Use: Wormwood stems, leaves, and flowers are usually dried for brewing into a tea. Plus, the herb can sometimes be found in supplement form and herbal blends.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry, dark place in a sealed container.

Safety: We recommend that you consult with a qualified healthcare practitioner before using any herbal products, particularly if you are pregnant, nursing, or on any medications. People who have epilepsy or are pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking certain medications should avoid wormwood.
