Artemisia
We use the generic term “Artemisia” to refer to Artemisia afra and Artemisia annua plants that we are studying in the fight against malaria and bilharzia.
« Traditional Medicine, of proven quality, safety, and efficacy, contributes to the goal of ensuring that all people have access to care » and « will help health care leaders to develop solutions that contribute to a broader vision of improved health and patient autonomy»

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.
