NOW Supplements, Green Black Walnut Wormwood Complex Liquid with Dropper, Herbal Supplement, 2-Ounce

I can’t say enough good things about this Green Black Walnut Wormwood Complex! I originally bought it after hearing about its benefits for cleansing and overall gut health, and it has absolutely exceeded my expectations. Within just a few days, I felt noticeably lighter, more energetic, and less bloated after years of dealing with bloating and gas that doctors and specialists couldn’t help determine why. The dropper makes it super easy to use — I just mix it with a little water or juice, and the taste is earthy but not bad at all. You can tell it’s potent and pure. I’ve already shared the link with friends and family six times because everyone keeps asking what’s been working for me! If you’re thinking about trying a natural cleanse or just want to support your digestive system, this is the one to get. Highly recommend! 🌿

This stuff is amazing. I discovered that I have lots of "high risk" behavior for parasites and that 90% of us have them and don't know it. I eat lots of raw produce and love my meat really rare. I eat radishes/carrots, etc., out of our garden after just brushing off most of the dirt. I love to kiss our three dogs on the muzzles frequently and lay on the floor with them, using them or their dog beds for pillows, walk on the grass in bare feet, sit and lay in the grass in shorts and tank tops during summer. After what's coming out of me, I'm rethinking those behaviors. Round one of the NOW product, I had some "die off" detox symptoms for the first few days even following the directions and was very constipated, which doesn't happen to me. So I followed Organic Olivia's advice to take psyllium and bentonite clay (with a two hour buffer before or after meals, meds or supplements since the clay removes nutrients as well as toxins). For weeks I had the "white rice poop" that others speak of (though I don't eat rice) that continued long after my first two week course of treatment. I started my second round several weeks after the first after getting an unexpected flu (last I had the flu was 1999) and coughing up two roundworms after a severe coughing fit that left me gagging!! (see photo) After googling "coughing up worms" and being reassured this was not a freak occurrence, I realized I needed to start my second round immediately. CDC explains that the parasites' eggs are ingested and live in the GI tract, then get into the blood stream where they end up in the lungs, are coughed up, usually swallowed and the cycle is repeated. Nice... During the second round, I didn't use the psyllium/bentonite clay route. I used a product I already had but had never used called EZ Cleanse (Butternut bark, ginger root, senna leaf, black walnut hull, cascara sagrada bark, citrus pectin, grapefruit, dicalcium phosphate, digestive enzymes, fructooligosaccharides, gum arabic, cayenne fruit, Bacillus coagulans, milk thistle seed, rhubarb root, fennel seed, buckthorn bark, psyllium husk, cranberry fruit and licorice root.) It does contain walnut hull, so be careful! But I much prefer this method to the psyllium/clay as it doesn't require such careful timing and kept things moving quickly. The freaky thing this second round is that every morning my sinuses are filled with a thick chunky substance that is not mucus, but is within the mucus, and appears to be segments of worms. And I've noticed that the severe itching in my inner ears has stopped. My sugar cravings have gone away as well. The other funny thing is I almost never get sick, grew up and still live in a rural, sparsely populated area, but magically developed "chronic asthma" and "chronic rhinitis" several years ago that is all year round and requires a daily inhaler and steroids/antihistamine nasal spray. I've never had bronchitis, pneumonia or any respiratory infection, but suddenly developed asthma and rhinitis?? And loss my sense of taste and smell?? Given what's coming out of me and where, I'm now wondering if my respiratory system is freaking out trying to rid itself of parasites.

I am very happy to have found a natural dewormer so I can do a real internal cleanse. This product is excellent. Of course, the taste is bitter, but that's the least of it. What matters are the results of its use. My family and I used it for two consecutive weeks (as directed on the packaging). In the first few days, I felt that something was really happening. And I could see that the parasites were dying and being eliminated. I no longer crave sweets (this is incredible, because I wanted to eat a sweet treat every day). Everyone should try this product. I felt very tired (I thought it was due to age), but it wasn't. My energy has returned, I feel much better! Along with other actions to maintain a healthier life! I recommend it. Don't doubt it and don't give up if you feel a little unwell (my husband had nausea and a headache for 2 consecutive days) but it passed quickly. It's part of the cleansing process.

Have used this for a week now. The taste isn't pleasant, hence the 4 stars. I mix it with a Plexus pink drink. Recommend mixing it with a strong flavored drink. I haven't noticed benefits yet. No parasites noticed. Glass jar and dropper work well. Pleased with the ingredients. The smell is strong.

This brand is the best quality in all their supplements. I bought it thinking a parasite cleanse might help me beat my sugar cravings and it totally worked for me. It tastes awful. I don’t mix it into anything because it doesn’t taste like it would be better in something, just get it over with haha and feel the benefits of great gut health

Sounds a bit dramatic, but in my case I know this product has brought me back to the land of the living. I'm writing this review in the hope it might help someone out there as it has helped me. I decided to try this as many have after having chronic health issues for the past 2-4 years, which in the past few months were seriously impacting my quality of life. Carcinoid cancer was suspected, but not confirmed after several tests. Like others, doctors wanted to continue with expensive tests and additional medications as none were conclusive or entirely effective. I had constant gastrointestinal problems, facial flushing, migraines, debilitating fatigue, constant unproductive cough with wheezing, shortness of breath, bloat, abdominal pain, a large, hard lump by my spine was growing and protruding out from my back. It occasionally ached. I had acute pancreatic attacks that felt like I was having a heart attack. The worst was the drying of my eyes which diminished my eyesight and would sometimes result in sharp, excruciating pain behind my eyes, particularly my left eye. I had to tape my eyes shut at night to keep them moist, or pay the painful consequences when I tried to open my eye lids upon awakening. My skin was yellowing, and my eyes seemed to be sinking in their sockets. I was losing hair (fortunately, I have a lot of it), but it was mainly breaking off. I was constantly nauseated which resulted in my eating very little, and only eating a handful of the same things because that was all I could tolerate. Despite this unintentional semi-fasting state, my abdomen seemed to be increasing in size. I no longer had the strength to jog or exercise, had very limited energy, and could easily sleep for nearly an entire day without feeling rested. Quality of life was down the toilet and I became increasingly reclusive. When you don't feel or look well, you find you retreat more and more into yourself. I and my family were certain that once they finally figured out what was wrong with me, (was it CS, IBS, CFS, Chron's, etc.) the prognosis would be grim. I began to mentally prepare for that. Then one day, I noticed something unusual looking after a bowel movement. Since Carcinoid Syndrome effects the gastrointestinal system, I was advised to be monitoring such things. It was long (4" - 5") and alabaster white, about as thick as thin spaghetti. It had a smooth surface, but at one end it diverged off into 3 separate "segments" which curled at the tips. Whaaaaat is that?! This occurred after eating a large amount of fresh garlic during the previous meal, but looked like nothing I had eaten, ever. About 4 months earlier I had also notice what looked like it could be a small, 1" worm, rice-shaped, but not being sure and not wanting to "investigate" further I dismissed it. I told my boyfriend and being the google wiz he is, he found images online of what I had just seen: roundworms. Toxocariasis, in fact. Toxocariasis is an illness caused by larvae of either the dog roundworm (Toxocara canis) or the cat roundworm (Toxocara cati). We have both a dog and cat who had worms, and I volunteered for a cat rescue group taking care of sick, feral kittens before I started to have the above symptoms. We figured it couldn't hurt to purge myself of what might be ailing me. Started with Reese's Pinworm treatment, although I had no symptoms for pinworms it did contain a prescription strength dosage of mebendazole, which is also used to treat roundworms. The same day, I took my first dosage of Wormwood. The Reese's certainly got the ball rolling, but did not complete the job. I took half a dropper full 3x of the Now Foods wormwood complex the first day and worked my way up to 2 full droppers, 3x per day by day 7. Be SURE to put the filled dropper as far back toward your throat and tongue as you can without gagging before releasing the dose. Have something to drink right next to you when you do (I had de-fizzed diet 7up to the right, cold water to the left). Shoot the tincture of wormwood down your throat, swallow, and take a drink. You mostly taste cloves. It's strong, but manageable. And the health benefits make the taste issue totally worth it. After a while, you actually want to take your dose. (My boyfriend put his dose in hot tea and said he couldn't taste it when taken that way) I started to see small, white specimens passing (1/3 to 1/2 the size of a grain of rice), hundreds of them, by day 3 or 4. But it wasn't until day 7 that I saw clear signs of a parasitic infection. My eye pain and inflammation was lessening, as was the size of the lump protruding from my back. And also by this time, my energy level was way up. No more headaches, no bloat, no abdominal pain, no gastrointestinal distress, no chest pain and coughing/wheezing cut in half. By the end of the first 2 weeks, I was passing what could have only been adult worms. Horrifying! I took the 1 week break, then kicked off the next two weeks with another dose of Reese's followed right after with 3 dropper fulls of the wormwood. Within 4 hours of this regime I eliminated what I can only describe as something from a sci-fi flick. It is still hard for me to believe it. Those things were literally eating my life and vision away. By the end of week 3, a small lump appeared in the corner of my left eye, with some hardening around my tear duct. I pressed on it, and opaque-colored fluid began to ooze from my eye. After applying warm compresses and pressure to the area for 24 hours, the lump and harness were gone. And so was my eye pain, dryness, and chronic ocular inflammation. The worm, invading my left eye, had turned - literally. So did the one on top of my right foot, and shimmying down my left thigh. The wormwood had them dieing off and on the run. I did experience 2-4 days of "die off" symptoms during the first and second treatment, mostly a return to extreme fatigue, headaches, and some nausea. But it was nothing compared to how I had been suffering before I took this treatment. You'll get through it. And thankfully I did not experience any of the side-effects some people sensitive to Thujone may have. Please start out with a light dosage and work your way up to the 2 full dropper fulls (or more) 3x per day to ensure you don't have any sensitivity either. Google "Thujone" or "Absinthe overdose symptoms" so you know what to look for. By the end of the 4th week I felt alive again for the first time in a long, long time. In fact, I had felt so ill for so long that I had forgotten what it was like to feel "normal" again. I felt like I was in my 20's. Tons of energy and a positive mental attitude. My bowel movements are now regular without discomfort for the first time in 4 years. I am no longer wheezing/coughing or experiencing shortness of breath, facial flushing, hair loss, or any gastric or abdominal problems. I am hungry again. My stomach is no longer distended or hard, or tender to the touch. I've lost weight, and started exercising, slowly :), again. I no longer have to tape my eyes shut to sleep and my 3-5x daily use of artificial tears has dropped to 1x or 2x a week. My skin color is even and no longer yellow; I don't have that drawn, sunken-eye, ill look. I feel well again. Interestingly, what was thought to be a tumor against my spine and probably inoperable and cancerous, is now about 1/3 its size before I started taking this stuff. Turns out it was an encysted granulomatous nodule, which is, hold on to your lunches, a worm larvae sack embedded in my muscle wall. Holy American Horror Story Batman...! This stuff saved my life. Parasitic infections are not routinely tested for or considered when doctors are presented with the symptoms I had... I didn't consider it myself. So often people are misdiagnosed with Irritable Bowel Syndrome, or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, or even asthma or a myriad of ocular diseases instead. So if you are struggling like I was just a month or so ago, getting worse all the time, and you don't have a sensitivity to the ingredients in this product, what can it hurt to try it? Just be sure to stick with it and take the recommended dosages (I'll admit I sometimes exceeded them, but then I had a large infestation). And, turns out there are some added & unexpected health benefits... now at week six (and off the stuff again for a week, but about to start and maintain a 2 week monthly regimen), my skin is very healthy looking and soft. It looks 10 years younger. My boyfriend even complimented me on it yesterday (and he's Irish :). In January I started menopause. By February I was having non-stop hot flashes. After taking wormwood for 2 weeks, the hot flashes stopped. My estrogen levels increased again and my period returned. I have read that wormwood, an ancient herb/plant, is known for having this healthful effect on women. Do check with your doctor, but even just as a nutritional supplement its antioxident, antifungal, and antinflammatory properties have been documented. And parasites hate it. This product did/does the job for me, and I hope it helps you too. UPDATE: As of 4-14-2016, I have been taking this product nearly 2 years. I am stronger, healthier, and symptom free more so than I was from when the symptoms began in late 2008 until 2014 when I first underwent the treatment. I no longer have painfully dry eyes. I no longer have migraines. I no longer have painful, rampant diarrhea, gas, and abdominal cramping similar to IBS or Crone's Disease. I no longer have wheezing with rails indicative of asthma. My skin looks great and I no longer have sunken eye sockets with discolored skin. I also no longer have symptoms that cause doctors to suspect I have cancer. The lump that once protruded from my spine is so small you have to feel for it to find it. All this changed after taking this product, and CONTINUING to take it....while greatly REDUCED, the symptoms did not completely go away after the initial treatment. It has been an ongoing process. After the initial treatment, I continued to take the product for 2 weeks out of every month, for about a year. After that I took it for 2 weeks every 2 months, until the present day. In addition I stay away from processed foods, fast foods, and reduced my sweet intake. I've increased my intake of raw vegetables and fruit and rarely eat dairy. A few things have not changed: I still have a compromised immune system and get very sick, very easily (especially during flu season) and it last longer than most other people. I still also get very, very fatigued from time to time. Before the parasites came along (and yes, it is true most MD's discount parasites because it is thought to be a rare condition in the US and testing is unreliable), I did always get sick easily. But it went away after a week. Now if I get the flu it lasts 3 weeks or more. And, honestly, I could sleep forever if allowed, :) I write this because I want everyone who reads this to understand it is not a miracle cure. There are no miracle cures. And you have to stick with this, and modify your diet as mentioned above. It is a natural product so it takes time to heal you. This is not big pharma. This product works. If you stick with it, and eat better, live better and take precautions to not become re-infested (if you do become re-infested, and you are taking this, it will continue to protect you), you will feel better. I truly believe I would have died in 2014 if I had not found this product. That does not mean it is a miracle cure. Nor should people take an extreme approach and do multiple cleanses at the same time. Try something simple like this product, or another, at first. Take it one step at a time. Eat better, and move around more. I promise you will feel better. :) That is my hope for all of you suffering out there...L

I'm not worried about parasites, I ordered this product because several of the reviews noted their eczema and psoriasis cleared up after using this product. I have some very serious eczema on my scalp that I have had difficulty treating because it's hard to get products under the hair without wasting most of it on your hair. I was able to clear up the eczema in my ears with another product (see other reviews) and loved it, but it doesn't work so well when you have thick hair in the way. I've been taking two droppers of the wormwood twice a day for the last several days. I have not noticed any parasites in my waste, nor have I felt any benefits intestinally. As it does once a month, my skin has started to break-out with monthly blemishes, so I can't say it's done any wonders there. I will say the itching from the eczema has become far more intense...I can only hope that means something in happening, a storm before the calm perhaps? The point of the early review though is to set the taste issue to bed and the dosage. Most reviews are really unclear about their dosage...are the following the bottle directions or increasing them? Who knows. I'm following the bottle as I am not sure how it interacts with my daily meds and other supplements. The taste on the other hand is horrific. The main inactive ingredient is grain alcohol and you can smell that from across the room. The cloves are also prominent. The taste is so bad that two droppers in 6oz of coke, lemonade, and juice are still nasty enough that I involuntarily make faces and do the "it tastes nasty" dance. Other people in the house took one sip and gagged. I love bitter foods; grapefruit, broccoli rabe, mustard greens, strong black coffee...I am no stranger to foods and drinks other people find disgusting. However, even I think this is about the nasty thing I've ever put in my mouth. Scientifically speaking some people have stronger taste receptors for bitter flavors than others. Perhaps this is why some people think it tastes fine. I think the worse part is the intense and bitter grain alcohol flavor. I continue to take it, because as anyone who has ever suffered knows, we do anything to get rid of the itch. Frankly, if it wasn't for the eczema, I'd rather live with parasites than even have to smell this stuff. Worse yet, there's an aftertaste and the smell lingers. The best way to take this is in something with a very strong flavor and then to take it like a shot or guzzle it down without stopping. Putting it in water seemed to make it even worse, the lemonade was the best. I will try the apple cider next. Do not use a straw, that seemed to also make it worse, the colder the drink the better. The smell and taste shouldn't stop you from trying it but be prepared and have multiple types of drinks on hand to help mask it. Also, this arrived black, not green. I don't think it matters but other reviewers noted it should be green when you first open it...I think the color is subjective and far less important than the taste. I will update as I go. If you have suggestions for dosing please feel free to comment.

I was somewhat skeptical about some of the reviews before giving this product a try. I have suffered for years with a skin condition that at best was annoying and at worst extremely annoying and debilitating. I gave this product a try and within three weeks my itchy bumpy skin cleared up and regular use has prevented its return. In addition, I have been taking care of small dogs for the past 12 years, so I knew I was high risk for contracting fecal parasites from scooping up poo and cleaning little bottoms as needed. I didn't notice the dramatic results in the toilet as some reviewers testified, but I did notice some evidence of parasites in my stool so I may not have been as highly inhabited as some of the rest of you. as far as the taste, not as bad as some you mentioned and totally tolerable when mixed with Orange Juice. I am extremely satisfied with this product. Thank you "NOW", my life is better because of your product.
