ARTEMISIA ANNUA Common names: Qinghao, Sweet wormwood. General Information about Artemisia Artemesia annua, (sweet Annie or sweet wormwood) is a bitter herb that is both a prophylactic and for treatment of malaria. Because malaria microbes have begun to develop a resistance to the commercial drugs which have been used to treat malaria for many years, these drugs are becoming less effective, and increasingly often fail to cure the disease. The plant Artemisia annua has been used for many years by the Chinese to treat malaria. This plant is as successful in treating malaria as the conventional drugs, and without having any of the unpleasant side-effects. Prevention. In order to achieve adequate antimalarial plasma concentrations it is advisable to administer two oral doses of 500 mg per day.

Herbal Regimen for Liver Cleansing: \n\nEach morning: Drink 8 oz. Water with ½ lemon squeezed into into it (lemon stimulates gastric juices and has a slightly laxative effect.) Take 1 teaspoon psyllium husk mixed with 1 cup of water (stir & drink quickly). Follow with one more cup of water (important to avoid constipation!) \n\nAt all 3 meals: Take 1 tablet turmeric (400 mg.) & 1 tablet milk thistle (210 mg.). \n\n3 times per day between meals: \nDrink 1 cup of herbal tea made from the following: \n\n7 cups purified water \n3 Tablespoons Dandelion Root \n1 Tablespoon licorice root \n1 Tablespoon unpeeled fresh or dried ginger root \n½ Tablespoon fennel seed \nThese herbs are available in bulk form in health food stores. \n\nTo make the tea: \n\nBring water and herbs to a simmer in a non-metal pot. Lower the heat, cover and simmer 15 minutes. Turn off heat, let steep until tea cools to room temperature. Strain into glass jar. Tea will keep in refrigerator for 24 hours. \n\nMore hints for detoxing: \n\nTry a vegetarian diet for the 2 weeks that you are taking the herbs. If you need to eat protein do so before 3 p.m., as the liver does most of its work at night and protein slows down the detox process. Avoid alcohol, caffeine, fats, fried foods, glutenous grains (wheat, oatmeal, white rice) and dairy for best results. Drink purified water almost constantly and exercise mildly each day. Don't delay! It is best to complete a detox program before the weather turns cold, as your body will need warmer foods and will shift to a "building" rather than "eliminating" mode in winter.

Chlorophyll is the way to go. Pills or parsley. \n\nGargling does no good as the smell is in your bloodstream, not your mouth.

Short answer: No.\n\nLonger answer: There has been some research into Herbal medicine and some compounds have been found to work.  In fact Aspirin could be considered as a herbal remedy since it was first isolated from willow although now it is usually synthesised.\n\nGermany actually has a register of herbal remedies including what they should be used to treat and what doses are appropriate.  No where near as much time and money has been expended on herbal treatment assesment as has been on 'hospital' medecine so we are far more sure of how hospital medecine works than we are of herbal medecine.  This does not mean that herbal remedies don't work, just that we don't know as much about how or if they work.

I had already advised someone concerning an herbal treatment that worked for me. I may of backed it up with "check w/doctor...sometimes herbs may not be compatible w/certain meds.."  I don't agree that herbs are harmless, there are many harmful herbs out there, and even food herbs can have a bad effect if taken improperly.  With any treatment precautions and education is necessary. I think that is where the problem lies, people feel they are harmless, and thus avoid precautions.

there are currently 3 major types of malaria in the world. to protect yourself against this serious desease, consult with a qualified medical practioner. This is no joke. Malaria can kill you, destroy your liver and weaken your heart. Your Doctor can tell you what is best to take based on the region of the world you plan to visit.The malaria in that region is specific to that country. Do not forget about Hep A/B vacines and Cholera as well as Diptheria. You also need to get TB shots and Typhoid as well as an updated  Tetnas shot. If you plan on visiting or working in a third world country, do not play around with your health. I worked around the world in some very isolated areas. You do not want to get sick outside of the western world. By the way, there are no known herbal antimalarial compounds and anyone selling you one is a fraud.

Cinnamon is a great booster. A teaspoon in your morning coffee works wonders. \n\nGreen tea has other benefits than as a booster - keep drinking it. BUT, as with all herbal regimens, take time off from it every couple of weeks UNLESS ordered otherwise by a Dr.

Consult with your doctor before beginning any herbal supplement to avoid complications / interactions with the presecription meds that you are currently taking. Also, remember to continue with your regular prescription meds. Do not stop taking medication without a doctor's order, even if you think the herbal med is working on its own. \n\nSome diabetics have had moderate success with cinnamon. Around a teaspoon a day is the recommended dosage. You can either add it to your food, eat it plain (if you can stand it), or take it in the convienient pill form. Check your local grocery store, pharmacy, health food store, or Walmart-like store for these capsules. They are very easy to find. \n\nAs with any herbal remedy, don't expect a miracle or any dramatic result. Be realistic in your expectations. \n\nGood luck and best wishes...

Hi, Kelly!  I am a Reiki practitioner and an Herbalist, and a mom of 2 boys who have ADHD, one of whom was agressive - much, much less now. \n  I agree with the Oatstraw (Aveena Sativa) and the dietary recommendations.  Since there is very little way to stop all preservatives (school lunch, parties, etc) I also give my boys Flax Seed Oil as it has been proven effective as a blood cleanser.  It also has the Omega 3 fatty acids that people with neurological problems are deficient in.  Cinnamon is wonderful also...it helps keep their blood sugar stable, and helps metabolize any extra sugar.  Other than that, I just make sure their multivitamin is high in B, C and Zinc as those are deficiencies in People with ADHD as well.  \n\nI am at windstarhealing.com if you have any questions.  Good luck!

I would stay away from Rogaine type medicines.  I don't want to take anything that women shouldn't even touch, personally.  Ginkgo biloba improves circulation to the scalp.  Horsetail can help strengthen your hair.  Green tea and Saw Palmetto may help prevent further hair loss.  Tea tree oil can help kill mites, bacteria and fungi that can live on the scalp and cause hair loss.  Apple cider vinegar and sage tea as a rinse can help hair grow.  Biotin supplementation can help hair grow.  Read all the lables for these products and consult a physician if you have any health concerns before taking these products.\n\nJust remember, many women find baldness very sexy.  So maybe shaving your head would be the easiest solution.

Herbal stores usually have that kind of stuff. If they don't have it in stock they can usually order it.  You can order on the net too.
