Wormwood vs Internal parasites?

[Stormhaven]

This is a purely anecdotal .
But I've had some interesting observations while doseing wormwood.
Firstly my homebrew was being added to combat AEFW .
Which I've found greatly reduces the numbers to none detectable levels .
But the interesting thing is .
My clowns which were suffering from internal parasites white stringy poop weight loss etc .
Made a full recover after a few months.
Slowly gained weight and back to typical poop colour .
Nothing else was added .
So heavyish dose of wormwood every day and the worms went away
Any thoughts ?

Wormwood is an ingredient in an old drink, and as they say, "Absinthe makes the heart grow fonder" - sorry, I couldn't resist!

I just started up 6 gallons of stout this afternoon - never heard about using wormwood in brewing before today though! (I had to look it up)

Like all gut irritants such as garlic, I suppose it could help to flush out excess protozoans, but on the other hand, many internal disease issues are self-correcting given enough time.
