Artemisia Combination

Artemisia Combination is an herbal intestinal parasite cleanser containing the powerful “exterminating” benefits of mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris) and wormwood (Artemisia absinthium). Artemisia Combination consists of herbs that expel parasites and worms, soothe inflamed tissues, improve digestion and elimination, relieve abdominal cramping, and enhance circulation of nutrients to the cells.

Artemisia Combination is commonly used for intestinal parasites and worms, as well as abdominal cramping, constipation, diarrhea, digestive problems, flu, gastritis, poor appetite and yeast infections.

Cloves stimulate circulation, increase the production of digestive and mucosal fluids, alleviate pain, and act as an antiseptic and local anesthetic to relieve pain associated with infection and toothache. Cloves contain a volatile oil, comprised mostly of eugenol (a phenol), which has been shown to be strongly antibacterial. Numerous studies have demonstrated cloves\’ antibacterial, anticandidal (Journal of Ethnopharmacology), antifungal, antimicrobial (Journal of Ethnopharmacology) and antiviral (Planta Medica) activities. Cloves are also commonly used to expel parasites and repel insects. Cloves\’ antispasmodic properties, combined with their ability to enhance digestion, have been used to relieve abdominal distension (bloating), colic, cramping and gas, as well as chronic coughs and muscle spasms. Recent research also suggests that cloves may aid the treatment of peptic ulcers.

Elecampane has often been used as an expectorant for various respiratory problems; however, elecampane can also be used to enhance digestion and assimilation of nutrients and improve appetite. Elecampane contains an essential oil that fights bacteria and fungi and destroys and expels parasitic worms. Clinical research shows elecampane to be particularly effective as an antibacterial against the pathogen responsible for tuberculosis. Elecampane is also a source of a starchy material called inulin, which soothes the lining of the digestive tract and has been found helpful in treating ulcers. Elecampane is beneficial for diarrhea, digestive problems, dyspepsia, dysentery, peptic ulcers, skin disorders and yeast infections of the bowel.

Garlic is beneficial for a variety of circulatory, digestive, respiratory and urinary problems. Garlic reduces hypertension and lowers serum cholesterol, serum triglycerides and blood fats. Garlic enhances immune function, fights infection, and is an excellent remedy for various chest complaints. Garlic contains allicin, the odor-causing agent, and allyl sulfide, both of which are responsible for the herb’s worm-killing ability. Hookworms, pinworms, roundworms and tapeworms all perish in the presence of garlic, and some external applications use garlic for treating ringworm. Garlic also increases bile production to enhance digestion and absorption of nutrients.

Ginger contains various compounds that act as digestive stimulants to enhance gall bladder activity and the production of digestive fluids and saliva.Ginger is commonly used in European digestive aids to relieve gas, indigestion, stomachache, and other stomach problems. Ginger decreases the volume of acid in the stomach and inhibits ulcer formation stemming from alcohol, stress, and other gastric irritants. Ginger also protects the liver against damage from toxins. Ginger’s antiseptic properties are beneficial for gastrointestinal infections, including certain types of food poisoning. Furthermore, ginger’s antimicrobial properties fight both bacteria and parasites, including flukes, roundworms and tapeworms.

Mugwort increases production of digestive fluids and bile, enhances liver function, improves appetite, calms the nerves, encourages perspiration to reduce fever, expels intestinal parasites and worms, and acts as an antiseptic and mild diuretic. Mugwort has a long history of use for abdominal pain, fever, insomnia, nervousness, roundworm, rheumatism, sluggish digestion, stagnant liver, and threadworm. Mugwort is not recommended during pregnancy as it is believed to stimulate the uterus and promote menstruation.

Olive leaf contains phytochemicals that make it a formidable treatment against both infectious and degenerative diseases. In fact, olive leaf has been shown to be an effective remedy against nearly every type of pathogenic (disease-causing) microorganism, relieving numerous health problems resulting from colds, flu and other viral diseases; fungal, mold and yeast infections; bacterial infections (major and minor); and parasitic infestations. In all, olive leaf has been shown to be a powerful antimicrobial agent against over 130 infectious diseases. Even HIV-infected patients have demonstrated improvement in their immune function, as indicated by an increase in T-cells following supplementation with olive leaf.

Spearmint increases production of digestive fluids and enzymes, stimulates circulation, alleviates abdominal pain, helps expel stomach and intestinal gas, and induces perspiration. Spearmint also acts as an antiseptic and astringent to shrink inflamed tissues. Spearmint’s volatile oil contains a terpene derivative called carvone. This active constituent is responsible for spearmint’s ability to relieve mild indigestion, dispel nausea, eliminate gas, and soothe spasmodic abdominal and stomach pain. Spearmint is widely used for flatulence, flu, indigestion, menstrual cramps, muscle aches, nausea and vomiting.

Turmeric stimulates production of digestive fluids and bile, alleviates congestion, decreases platelet aggregation, lowers cholesterol, fights bacteria and fungi, kills parasites, and acts as an anti-inflammatory and antispasmodic. Turmeric also contains the active constituent curcumin, which has been shown to have more antioxidant activity than vitamin E. Turmeric is recommended for arthritis, asthma, coughs, digestive problems, fungal infections, gallbladder/liver disorders, intestinal parasites and worms, rheumatism, sinusitis and inflammatory skin conditions.

Wormwood increases production of digestive fluids and bile, enhances liver function, promotes appetite, induces perspiration, expels worms, and acts as an antibiotic and astringent. Wormwood contains azulenes which are anti-inflammatory, and sesquiterpene lactones which are potent insecticidal agents. Wormwood is highly regarded for abdominal distension (bloating), amenorrhea, anemia, dysentery, flatulence, gallbladder/liver problems, gastritis, insect bites, intestinal parasites, poor appetite, rheumatism, sluggish digestion, stomach ulcers, swelling, tuberculosis and worms. Wormwood is not recommended during pregnancy.
