Bitter Shield | Wormwood & Stinging Nettle Tincture - 1 oz

Shield your wellness routine with the power of traditional bitter herbs.

Dealing with parasites, weak digestion, or needing a strong body reset? Bitter Shield is a powerful herbal tincture made with wormwood and nettle — two herbs traditionally used for parasite cleansing and protective support. Its bold bitter taste works best taken before meals to stimulate digestion and keep your system strong.

Introducing Bitter Shield, a handcrafted tincture made with the time-honored herbs wormwood (Artemisia absinthium) and stinging nettle (Urtica dioica).
