Reviews Wormseed Herbal Tea
Wormseed, Epazote, Paico or Herbe Sancti Mariae is a very common plant on the islands of Madeira and Porto Santo, not much appreciated by everyone due to its intense aroma. It is popularly mentioned as a natural remedy, in tea, for the treatment of roundworms in children. When this occurs, it is customary to add some Peppermint leaves to soften the flavour of the Erva Formigueira.
Ingredients: 100% Wormseed, plant (Chenopodium ambrosioides).
