Wormwood Roman 100g

Wormwood is a plant that is primarily known for its bitter taste. It has been used for centuries in naturopathy to treat various ailments. The name wormwood comes from the Old High German word "wermuota", which means "wormwood". This is because wormwood was once used as a remedy for worms and parasites.

Wormwood contains various bitter substances, such as absinthin, anabsinthin and thujone, which have a strong effect on the gastrointestinal tract. Wormwood also contains essential oils, flavonoids, tannins and other ingredients that can have anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antiviral and antioxidant effects.

Wormwood can have some benefits for dogs when administered in moderation and under the supervision of a veterinarian;

• Wormwood can help stimulate appetite by encouraging gastric juice production. This can be useful for dogs suffering from loss of appetite or digestive problems.
• Wormwood can support the intestinal flora and act against intestinal parasites. This can be helpful for dogs suffering from diarrhoea, flatulence or worm infestation.
• Wormwood can improve liver function and stimulate bile production. This can be beneficial for dogs suffering from liver disease or gallstones.
• Wormwood can strengthen the immune system and protect against infections. This can be useful for dogs suffering from virus, coughs or skin problems.
• Wormwood can relieve pain and promote healing. This can be useful for dogs suffering from arthritis, rheumatism or injuries.

Wormwood is not suitable for every dog and can also have some disadvantages if used incorrectly or overdosed. Wormwood can cause hormonal disturbances if the dog is pregnant or lactating. This can affect the development or health of puppies. Particular care should be taken if the dog is pregnant or lactating.

In general, wormwood should only be given in small amounts and for short periods of time. The dosage depends on the size, weight and health of your dog. A common dosage is about 0.1 to 0.2 grams of dried wormwood herb per kilogram of body weight per day. This corresponds to about half a teaspoon to one teaspoon per 10 kilograms of body weight per day.

Wormwood should not be administered for more than two to four weeks at a time. After that, you should take a break of at least one week before repeating the treatment. Wormwood should also not be given together with other herbs or food supplements that also contain bitter substances, such as yarrow, gentian or dandelion.
