I looked up wormwood, and yes continued use is dangerous.  It has very useful 
properties but, like with belladonna, it should be used with extreme care.

There is a sub for wormwood called Southernwood.  No.. it's not wormwood with 
an accent, but native to Southern Europe and Western Asia as early as 9th and 
10th centuries.   It has a fresh scent and delicious taste as well as a 
number of medicinal properties similar to wormwood.

Both species are relatives of Mugwort (famous for bringing dreams)
