Hi everyone,
I keep reading that artemisinin is better because it is more concentrated.
On the other hand, I heard that artemisia might be better because it is in a more raw form and perhaps resistance cannot be developed to it.
Does anyone know of any reputable articles/studies comparing the effectiveness of the two forms?

I would like to learn more also. My herbalist started me on artemesia annua, but last week she told me she may switch me over to artemisinin b/c it is stronger.
At least, that is what I think she said.
