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»

Science & innovation
Artemisia annua and afra herbal teas have been used for centuries in China and Africa against parasites. We are doing our utmost to accelerate the recognition of their use in the health care system for the most disadvantaged populations.
In recent years, the pace of medical publications on Artemisia has accelerated. New scientific articles on human, animal and environmental health are opening up extremely interesting perspectives.
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.
