Drug Interactions:

Contraindicated with anticoagulant and antiplatelet medications such as warfarin – Wormwood may increase bleeding risk and Thyme essential oil may interact by inducing phase I and phase II liver enzymes.

Contraindicated with fluoroquinolone and tetracycline antibiotics, and anti-infective medications – Barberry may reduce their effectiveness.

Cautions:

Contraindicated in pregnancy and lactation – the thujone in Wormwood can have a contraction effect on the uterus, while berberine can be harmful to the developing brain of the unborn child.

Contraindicated in gastric or duodenal ulcers – Wormwood can increase gastric fluid potentially making these conditions worse.

Caution in high blood pressure - Thyme essential oil may theoretically increase blood pressure. Monitor.

Caution in acute/severe hepatocellular disease, liver cancer, intestinal spasm or ileus - Wormwood and Barberry can impact liver function when liver health is poor.

Wormwood may cause allergic reactions in people sensitive to the Asteraceae family.

Side Effects:

Thyme oil may cause mild gastrointestinal irritation, such as heartburn, diarrhoea, nausea and vomiting.

Mild gastrointestinal symptoms, headaches or fatigue may occur as a result of parasitic die-off. These symptoms are a common detox reaction to the toxins released when the parasites start to die and, when mild, should resolve within a few days.
