https://healthybenefits.info/artemisi... • Artemisia is a large, diverse genus of plants with between 200 and 400 species belonging to the daisy family Asteraceae. • Most species have strong aromas and bitter tastes from terpenoids and sesquiterpene lactones, which discourage herbivory, and may have had a selective advantage. • The small flowers are wind-pollinated. Artemisia species are used as food plants by the larvae of a number of Lepidoptera species. • Artemisia annua is best sown in rows. That facilitates weeding, which has to be done mechanically or mannually since no chemical crop protection agents are admitted. • It is recommended to sow 1.4 – 2 seeds per square meter. The fertilizer requirements are on a low level. Potassium should be used as base fertilizer. • It is taken up by the plant during the whole growing season. Nitrogen is required during early branching stages, an amount of approximately 70 kg N/ha is sufficient for the plant. • Phosphate on the other hand is required during the blooming stages. Phosphate fertilization can lead to a higher artemsinin content in the leaves. • The application of salicylic acid on the leaves shortly before harvesting the plant also can raise its artemisinin content. • Artemisinin is a sesquiterpene lactone with an endoperoxide bridge and has been produced semisynthetically as an antimalarial drug. • The efficacy of tea made from A. annua in the treatment of malaria is dubious. • Research has found that artemesinin is not soluble in water and the concentrations in these infusions are considered insufficient to treat malaria. • In 2004, the Ethiopian Ministry of Health changed Ethiopia's first line antimalaria drug from sulfadoxine/pyrimethamine (Fansidar), which has an average 36% treatment failure rate, to artemether/lumefantrine (Coartem), a drug therapy containing artemesinin which is 100% effective when used correctly, despite a worldwide shortage at the time of the needed derivative from A. annua. • A 2012 review said that artemisinin-based remedies are the most effective drugs for the treatment of malaria. • A 2013 review suggested that although Artemisia annua may not cause hepatotoxicity, haematotoxicity, or hyperlipidemia, it should be used cautiously during pregnancy due to a potential risk of embryotoxicity at a high dose. • Of the Asteraceae family, the silver mound Artemisia is the only member with a prostrate, spreading habit. Unlike others of the species, the silver mound plant is not invasive. • Often called silver mound wormwood, this cultivar is a relatively dwarf plant. Scattered among tall, flowering summer blooms, the silver mound plant serves as a long lasting ground cover, shading out growing weeds and further reducing silver mound care. • • • • • • DISCLAIMER: This video is for educational use only.
