Medical and legal perspectives
Artemisia annua and afra infusions have been used for centuries in China and Africa to treat parasitic diseases.
We are committed to accelerating their recognition in the provision of care for the most deprived populations.
La Maison de l’Artemisia association strongly advises against the use of Artemisia herbal tea for all travellers from countries where malaria is not endemic and who have access to medication currently recommended by the WHO.
