#2 The Tea That Cures Malaria
Tuesday, 17 September, 2019
Malaria is one of the world's most notorious health issues. And yet, some people try to cure it with a tea. The good news is: The tea actually works! The bad news: Not always. And each failed attempt is a training ground for malaria parasites to become resistant.The Malaria treatment with Artemisia Annua might look tempting at first, but without proper equipment and training, this "natural" and cheap alternative can also play a role in the breeding of drug-resistant malaria. We take a look at the therapy and elaborate the basic concept of quality and quality assurance that is cut short with this treatment, especially in rural areas.Sources mentioned in the podcast:👉 New Vision article that recommends growing your own anti-malaria plants: https://www.newvision.co.ug/new_vision/news/1116603/grow-anti-malarial-plant👉 The WHO Position Statement that recommends the standardized combination therapy over the mentioned tea-treatment (pdf): https://www.who.int/malaria/diagnosis_treatment/position_statement_herbal_remedy_artemisia_annua_l.pdf?ua=1Support me on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/dosageoneJoin me on Discord: https://discord.gg/fM5P9BFor the eye-candy: https://www.instagram.com/dosage.oneAnd the quick shout: https://twitter.com/dosageone1
