ONE POWERFUL PLANT
A powerful body of scientific evidence, built over the last 40 years, has revealed that the components in the leaves of Artemisia annua are highly active against a broad range of human diseases, including viruses, parasites, and cancers.
A 2,000 year force of nature
Artemisia annua is a medicinal plant that originated in Southeast Asia, but is now cultivated all around the world. It has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for more than 2000 years as a treatment for fevers, but its medicinal properties were rediscovered by modern science in the 1970’s when research revealed that the plant contains more than 10 active substances that act together or in parallel.
Today, one of those substances – artemisinin – is the foundation of all anti-malarial medicine, the discovery of which won Prof. Tu Youyou the Nobel Prize in 2015.
Scientific studies have shown that the components within the leaves of Artemisia annua, which can be ingested in capsules, extracts, or teas, have significant activity against the SARS-coronavirus, as well as against breast and prostate cancer without any serious side effects.
Prevention, as they say, is even better than a cure. Artemisia annua and derivatives are being studied for preventative effects. With no side effects when taken at recommended doses, a regularly-ingested, low-level of leaf material could effectively guard against developing diseases, from infections to cancers.
“Artemisinin is a gift for the world’s people from traditional Chinese medicine.”

Cancer
It’s the diagnosis we all dread: cancer.
And we dread it with good reason. Globally, one in five men and one in six women will develop cancer during their lifetime, and we have around a one in ten chance of dying from the disease.
Coronavirus and Other Viruses
Artemisia annua is effective against a range of viruses, but most importantly shows considerable activity against SARS-coronavirus and potentially even COVID-19.
Malaria and Parasites
Every year, over 300 million people contract malaria, and almost half a million people die from it. Tragically, 67% of those deaths are in children under the age of five. These numbers continue to rise as the global population increases, while effective treatments remain largely inaccessible to the people who need them the most.
Animal Cancer, Disease and Parasites
Your dog or cat is your companion, and your best friend; they are a beloved member of your family. Sadly, cancer is extremely common in dogs and cats: it is estimated that 1 in 3 domestic dogs, and almost half of dogs over the age of ten will develop cancer.
Approximately 6 million dogs and 6 million cats will be diagnosed with cancer this year alone, and of those around 47% of dogs and 32% of cats will die.
