Artemisia annua

An annual of the artemesia family, native to China and naturalized in many places around the world. Called Qinghao and used to treat many types of fevers, malarial complications and to stop bleeding and ease pain of incised wounds in Traditional Chinese Medicine. This beautiful tall wispy plant is overwhelmingly fragrant and burning the herb is said to keep mosquitoes away. We love hanging it from the rafters to dry and catching a deep aromatic whiff as the slightest breeze blows through the feathery branches.
