Katy says: "Whoooooo boy! This plant's common name is "Epazote".... think Mexican food. Did a Dr. Duke's Pharmacy Database search on Chenopodium anthelminticum L. and got nothing. But did a search in his alphabetized plants and found: Chenopodium ambrosioides L. (Chenopodiaceae) Epazote, Wormseed Chenopodium album L. (Chenopodiaceae) -- Lambsquarter That study showing the active chemical of ASCARIDOL (possibly misspelled, should be: ASCARIDOLE....which is of course one that KILLS parasites and also exhibits antineoplastic activity (kills cancers). The Wormseed leaf has 18,000 parts per million of ascaridole in it. Guess what? Epazote (wormseed) is a little known, but absolutely CLASSICALLY important ingredient in authentic mexican food sauces. Some seed catalogs sell Epazote seed. Its basically a common weed. I've purchased the "herb" for my own uses in my own love affair with all things "mexican"....but I am absolutely going to buy the seed for planting a section of this. This herb could be used in many, many food recipes. Of course, our darlin' little ole' LAMBSQUARTER is already a favorite of many of us to include in our tossed salads. But it evidentally does not have much ascaridole in it. It just is of the same family. Remember we are NOT Doctors and have NO medical training.
