The 12th edition of the medicinal plant classic!
Before the Nobel Prize in Medicine was awarded to Chinese pharmacologist Tu Youyou in 2015, probably few people had even heard of "Artemisia annua" – sweet wormwood. Yet, this medicinal plant has been used for centuries by Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as an effective remedy against malaria and other serious diseases. Recent studies even suggest that the "crown jewel from the treasure trove of TCM" also shows promising effects in diabetes, cancer, HIV infection, and even Covid-19 (caused by the coronavirus).
In addition to the active ingredient artemisinin, the "miracle plant" contains over 600 health-relevant ingredients that are, among other things, antibacterial, antiviral, and immune-stimulating and have virtually no side effects. The high ORAC value, which describes the plant's antioxidant potential, is also impressive: the ability to neutralize free radicals protects against degenerative diseases such as rheumatism or osteoarthritis. Artemisia annua can also help – in addition to its effects on diabetes and cancer – with allergies, Lyme disease, inflammation, and against parasites and fungal infections. Sweet wormwood is taken both preventatively to strengthen the immune system and for self-treatment in the form of tea, powder, or capsules.
Barbara Simonsohn's compact guide introduces this amazing medicinal plant and includes, among other things:
- Interesting facts about its growth, occurrence, and history
- Comprehensive information on ingredients, areas of application, and current research results
- Practical tips for home cultivation and recipes with Artemisia products
