Artemisia,
a One Health plant

Artemisia is a remarkable example of the One Health concept, which recognizes the interdependence of human, animal and environmental health.

Its use in human health extends beyond malaria, with ongoing research exploring its benefits in the treatment of diseases such as cancer, schistosomiasis, tuberculosis, and Alzheimer's disease. It is also being studied for osteoporosis, asthma, and toxoplasmosis.

In veterinary medicine, Artemisia has been shown to reduce parasitic infections in livestock, while its natural pest repellent properties make it a sustainable alternative to chemical pesticides in agriculture.

With hundreds of scientific publications, Artemisia embodies the essence of One Health, a holistic approach that benefits people, animals and ecosystems alike.
