Malaria is a serious and growing problem world-wide, with about 2.5 million people dying as a result of malaria each year. The malaria parasites increasingly develop resistance to the well-known malaria drugs. New drugs are being developed, but these are often extremely expensive and not easily obtained. However, traditional medicine seems to be providing new hope.
The plant Artemisia annua (wormwood) is the oldest known anti-malarial treatment, having been used in China for over 2,000 years. It contains the drug artemisinin. “The artemisinin level in the blood is too low. To treat malaria properly, patients would have to drink 20 litres of tea every day”. The University of Tübingen (6) has shown that after drinking 1 litre of artemisia tea each day for 7 days, the level of artemisinin in the blood was high enough to treat malaria effectively.
