FAQs
Is this suitable for children?
The label gives age-based doses from age 2 up, but because dosing is precise and the herb is potent, check with a health care practitioner before giving it to a child.
What does it taste like?
Wormwood is famously one of the most bitter herbs used in tincture form, so the label calls for taking it well diluted in water.
