Artemisia frigida

[Kindra AnkneyStudent]

I’m wondering if anyone has used Artemisia frigida, which grows abundantly in our arid Eastern Washington landscape. Does it compare favorably to Artemesia annua?

Artemisia frigida has some medicinal properties similar to some of the other Artemisia species but none of the Artemisia species have anywhere near the artemisinin levels that A. annua has. So, if you’re using it for antiviral or anti-protozoal stuff, I’d stick with A. annua.

Don't use herbs or combine herbs with medications or use them during lactation or pregnancy without talking with your healthcare provider.
