As an added bonus, artemisinin, the active ingredient in Artemisia annua, acts very quickly, further decreasing the chances of drug resistance...

Surrounding him are a dozen of the 300 LG suppliers' managers whom Kim has spent the day lecturing and rallying. They have also been hiking up a snow-covered mountainside - necessary training, he says, for the grand plans he has for South Korea's second largest electronics firm...
