An improved variety, suited to the tropics, is being promoted by Anamed using hybrid seed. The plant grows to 3 m high and contains from 1 - 1.4 % artemisinin.<br /> <br /> The leaves, either fresh or dried, are made into a tea which is used to treat malaria. This should however not be given to women in the first 3 months of pregnancy. Leaves should be harvested when the first flower buds appear and cut up and dried within 3 days. They are then crushed and passed through a mosquito net sieve. Remove all pieces of stem. Keep in the dark in an air-tight container. They may also be used to treat haemorrhoids, colitis and to increase the immunity of AIDS patients. The plant is also used in the treatment of jaundice and skin diseases (Hirt &amp; M'Pia 2001).</p> Mon, 11 May 2009 00:11:04 -0700 2001-09-26T08:11:04-08:00 nobody@flickr.com (Scamperdale) tag:flickr.com,2004:/photo/3521581244 Artemisia annua <p>Armoise Chinoise (Fr.), sweet Annie, sweet wormwood.<br /> <br /> An annual, aromatic herb which can grow to 2 m high.
