Treatment Information
Epazote is a remedy for roundworms, hookworms and tapeworms. Also used as an effective remedy for upper respiratory illnesses like cough, asthma, bronchitis etc.

Epazote is also used to alleviate angina, for relief from intestinal gas and a general digestive aid, to increase sweating.

The decoction of its leaf is used to expel gas from the intestines and as a mild laxative. It is used as an insecticide and a natural healer for cramps, gout, hemorrhoids, worms in the intestine, and nervous system disorders.

Since the essential oil which is distilled from the seeds, is toxic, the oil of Epazote plant is not recommended for internal use. However, the leaves of this plant which contains smaller amounts of essential oil is the recommended treatment for intestinal parasites in herbal medicinal healing systems.

30 Sep 2017 I don't recomend SMOKING epazote. I dried some leaves, grinded them, put them into mi pipe and smoked it only once for the sake of experience. Just three hits. The next day, I woke up with some discomfort and had a small tremor in my hands, under muy left eye and in my cheeks. So you neither smoke epazote nor eat it in large quantities or in the long run as a tea. In Mexico we use epazote for cooking mainly. (EPAZOTE, a Nahuatl indigenous voice in Mexico).
