Artemisia annua has antiviral, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial properties. It can be used to treat malaria with good therapeutic effects. It inhibits the growth of Plasmodium parasites, reduces viral toxicity, and suppresses the activity of the parasites, thereby exerting antimalarial effects. Artemisia annua also has anti-inflammatory effects and can be used to treat chronic inflammatory diseases such as bronchitis and asthma. In addition, it possesses antibacterial activity, effectively inhibiting bacterial growth, and can be used in treating exogenous infections such as common cold, influenza, and pneumonia.
