That’s awesome. You may also want to look at Artemisia annua for the same reasons, although the compounds in that herb are mostly anti-malarial.....
I’ve tried making ‘smudge’ sticks with vulgaris, but I don’t reckon it burns that well. Which is ironic given acupuncturists use it for moxibustion, but I think it burns better when dried and ground up. We’ve got some growing here also!
We focus on vulgaris cos that's what grows most easily & most abundantly in situ... we are talking commercial scale here. Also it is the artemesia variety chosen by Yangon University for their study as part of the malaria prevention program.

We're also looking to repel mosquitoes which also carry Dengue (no treatment known) and encephalitis rather than just treat malaria... 😊

This is -really- cool. Skeeters, as they are known here in Tenasi, are only slight less horrid than fleas, from a personal perspective. :)
One day we'll discover what an important role they play in SOMEthing, but we're definitely not there yet. 😉 Thanks for stopping by. 😊

This French NGO is looking for other houses of Artemisia

Fascinating. A bit bummed to see the website only in French with no translate option. Even with my abysmal French I can see tgey do important work. Thank you.

that Green goddess - bowing down in reverence!
Reverence is the only logical response to her lush abundance. 🌿💚

Wormwood is an amazing plant, I done a lot of research on it for my sister as cancer cells are quite similar to malaria cells, they are both very high in Iron and the properties in wormwood attack those high iron cells without harming other cells in the body.
Well done on all the wonderful work you are doing with the Karen People xx
Hugs @trucklife-family.... that comment wasn't easy for you to write. Bless you for the research, time & care you were able to give her. Her spirit soars.

Very cool plant and love your post.
Did you know that thujone, which is a component of wormwood, is the chemical that's taken all the blame for absinthe's hallucinogenic properties?
Anise, fennel, and wormwood are soaked in alcohol, and the mixture is then distilled to make absinthe.
