Naturalized from Centeral America, wormseed is an annual or perennial plant found in waste places in almost all parts of the U.S. Its erect stem is strongly branched from the base, growing from 1 to 3 feet high. Oblong or lanceolate with lacerate-pinnatifid margins, its alternate, yellowish-green leaves are marked beneath with small resinous particles. Blooming from July to September, the numerous green flowers grow on almost leafless spikes and are followed by small, green, bladdery fruits with solitary, lenticular seeds.

Anthelmintic. The oil of chenopodium, derived from the seeds and other overground parts of wormseed is an excellent anthelmintic for roundworms, hookworms and other intestinal parasites, though it is not as effective against tapeworms. Either the oil or an infusion of the seeds with milk can be used in treating worms in children. Wormseed is also used as a mild cardiac stimulant and to promote secretions of the skin and kidneys, CAUTION; An overdose of the oil can result in poisoning and death. A one year old baby given a dose of four drops three times a day for two days died, and other cases of overdose deaths are on record.
