Is it better to drink Norden Natur wormwood tea before or after meals, and why?

Norden Natur wormwood is a 100% herbal tea made from Artemisia absinthium with a pronounced bitter taste, and it is the bitterness that determines how it is taken. Bitter substances stimulate the taste receptors, through which the body receives a signal to prepare more actively for digesting food, so the infusion is more often used before meals, when support for the appetite or for getting digestion ready is needed.

When it comes to heaviness after fatty or large meals, wormwood is traditionally drunk after such dishes for a feeling of comfort. The product is not intended for everyday tea drinking for the sake of its taste: it is chosen as a functional herb, taken in courses or as needed, for example with irregular eating or a feeling that food is ‘sitting’ in the stomach.

Since this is an active, bitter herbal material with a recognisable aroma, it is worth starting with a small amount and a short period of use to assess tolerance. The tea is not used in case of hypersensitivity to wormwood, and if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have a chronic condition or take medicines, consult a specialist before use.
