Willcox M - There has been much debate as to whether it is appropriate to recommend the use of A. annua herbal teas for the treatment of malaria. At one end of the spectrum, commercial growers of A. annua and manufacturers of artemisinin have claimed that it would be "criminal" to promote the use of A. annua teas because they contain "subtherapeutic doses" of artemisinin, which in theory could lead to the evolution of parasites resistant to artemisinin...Although recrudescence can occur after treatment with A. annua infusion, it can still be effective as a "first aid" measure to keep the patient alive while they travel to the health center. An imperfect treatment given rapidly, to prevent deteriorationto severe malaria and death, may be preferable to the "gold standard" modern treatment if there is a significant delay in obtaining it.
