SWITZERLAND-MADAGASCAR-HEALTH-VIRUS-HERBAL

A photo taken on 21 April 2020 at the Agroscope (Federal Competence Centre for Agricultural Research) in Conthey shows young Artemisia annua plants which the president of Madagascar has officially launched a local herbal remedy claimed to prevent and cure the novel coronavirus. - The drink, which has been called Covid-Organics, is derived from artemisia, a plant with proven efficacy in malaria treatment, and other indigenous herbs, according to the Malagasy Institute of Applied Research (IMRA), which developed the beverage. But its safety and effectiveness have not been assessed internationally, nor has any data from trials been published in peer-reviewed studies. Mainstream scientists have warned of the potential risk from untested herbal brews. (Photo by Fabrice COFFRINI / AFP) (Photo by FABRICE COFFRINI/AFP via Getty Images)
