What is Wormseed?

Wormseed is an herb. The flowers are used to make medicine.

Despite serious safety concerns, wormseed is used to treat worm infections.

Don't confuse wormseed with chenopodium oil (wormseed oil), wormwood oil, or wormwood. Also, since wormseed is sometimes called "levant," avoid confusion with levant berry.
