Artemisinin – powder 24 grams

Product Description

Artemisinin, or Qinghaosu (pronounced: Ching-hao-su), is an extract from the plant Artemisia annua (sweet wormwood), or Qinghao (pronounced: Ching-hao). Artemisia annua emits a strong aroma, containing camphor and essential oils. It is a robust plant that grows in many areas of the world. However, only plants grown in special agricultural and geographic conditions produce artemisinin.

The Artemisinin sold by BioPure Healing Products is obtained from plants grown in the mountains near Chongqing in the Szechuan Province of China. At over 4,500 feet elevation, these special high-altitude and geographical conditions produce healthy plants with high yields of excellent quality Artemisinin.

Artemisinin is an extract of the Artemisia annua plant, also referred to as sweet wormwood or ‘qing hao’ (pronounced: Ching-hao). The herb contains camphor and essential oils that give it a strong, pungent aroma. It was used in traditional Chinese medicine as far back as the 4^th century, by soaking and crushing the fresh herb, without the use of heat, to provide the most potent effect. The plant was described as having a “cool” nature, or yin, and was traditionally used to treat irregularities in internal heat, including chill and fever.
