“The Worm Purge” – Parasite Expulsion
From The Herb Peddler Apothecary Line

A powerful herbal blend traditionally used for intestinal cleansing and parasite elimination.

Purgatio Vermis is a bold, purgative formula designed to expel unwanted organisms while supporting digestion and gut resilience. Rooted in classical Western herbalism, this blend features Wormwood and Black Walnut—the pillars of old-world parasite cleansing—combined with warming carminatives like Clove and Fennel to reduce bloating, gas, and cramping. This is a short-term, strong-acting herbal formula for intestinal cleansing cycles.


🌿 Ingredients:

  • Wormwood – Bitter, antimicrobial, historically used to expel worms.
  • Black Walnut Hull – Traditional vermifuge; tones the intestinal tract.
  • Barberry Root – Supports bile flow and digestion.
  • Clove Bud – High in eugenol; paralyzes parasite eggs.
  • Fennel Seed – Calms spasms, bloating, and gas.
  • Ginger Root – Circulatory stimulant, reduces nausea.
  • Catnip & Mint – Gentle nervines that calm the gut.

🫖 How to Use:

Steep 1–2 tsp in 8 oz of hot water for 10–15 minutes, covered.
Drink 2 times daily for 7–14 days during the active cleanse.

Optional: Take with or after food. Combine with Formula No. 5 (before) and No. 7 (after) for full support.


📜 Historic Inspiration:

Early American herbalists and Eclectics frequently used Wormwood, Black Walnut, and Barberry in parasite protocols. These formulas were often combined with “warming digestive herbs” to counteract the harshness and to aid expulsion.

⚜️ Apothecary Note:

This tea is not meant for long-term use, but rather as part of a seasonal or targeted cleanse. Traditionally, such purgatives were taken around the full moon when parasite activity peaks.


🌼 What to Expect:

Flavor: Bitter, earthy, pungent, warming
Experience: Initial digestive movement, possible increase in bowel activity
Effect: Eliminates intestinal parasites, supports gut detox, and relieves bloating
