Limited research suggests that Artemisia annua might improve symptoms of osteoarthritis[5] and rheumatoid arthritis.[6]
Artemisia annua extracts are also used for hair care and in skin care as an emollient, humectant and antibacterial agent.[7]
Extracts of Artemisia annua pollen have been used as immunotherapy to reduce symptoms of allergic rhinitis during pollen season.[8]
In traditional Chinese medicine, Artemisia annua has been used for jaundice, for dysentery, for wounds and hemorrhoids, and to reduce fever.[7] However, there’s no clinical research to support these uses.
