Artemisia Extract

Artemisia extracts were traditionally used as remedies for skin diseases and ulcerative sores. Their extracts have antioxidant effects that accelerate wound healing and are used in eczema, herpes, and purulent scabies [160]. Members of the genus Artemisia are largely perennial plants with many small yellow or greenish yellow flower heads grouped in clusters. The leaves are usually divided and alternate along the stem; they may be green, grayish green, or silvery white. Some chemicals contained in Artemisia herba-alba seem to kill parasites and bacteria. Some other chemicals might lower blood sugar levels. Some chemicals contained in Artemisia herba-alba seem to kill parasites and bacteria. Some other chemicals might lower blood sugar levels.
