By telling the story of Artemisia and of those who are fighting to make this plant widely available, MALARIA BUSINESS is putting the institutions that have been trying to fight malaria for the past 50 years to the wall. In 2017, the disease continues to kill a child every two minutes, the parasite that causes it becomes resistant to drugs, mosquitoes bypass mosquito nets, and the vaccine promised for 2018 is proving disappointing. Meanwhile, African, American and European researchers are revealing that a simple herbal tea of Artemisia can prevent and treat malaria. Used for two millennia in China, this plant is however not recommended by the WHO and prohibited in France.
