Researchers at Worcester Polytechnic Institute discover medicinal herb, sweet wormwood, may inhibit COVID from replicating
Updated May 04, 2021;
A team of researchers, including some from Worcester Polytechnic Institute found that extracts from leaves of the medicinal herb known as sweet wormwood inhibit the replication of COVID-19 and two of its variants.
WPI biology professor Pamela Weathers was part of a team, which included researchers from Columbia University and the University of Washington, that found that leaves of the
Artemisia annua plant may represent a safe, low-cost therapeutic treatment for COVID.
“
Artemisia annua has been studied extensively, and it has been used safely for more than 2,000 years in traditional medicine to treat a variety of fever-related ailments,” Weathers said. “

Scientists have advanced more cures for COVID-19. Top on the list are: combination of ivermeticin, zinc and vitamin C; Andrographis paniculata, the key ingredient of IHP Detox Tea; extract of Artemisia annua, which interferes with replication of SARS-CoV-2; snake venom enzyme; metformin; colchicine, melatonin; and essential oils.
Reacting to the advances in traditional medicine as cures for COVID-19, the pioneer of natural cures for COVID-19 in Nigeria, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Bioresources Development and Conservation Programme (BDCP) and a professor of pharmacognosy, Maurice Iwu, told The Guardian: “The containment of the pandemic has not failed. It is rather a work in progress. We understand the virus better now. I believe that soon Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus type 2 (SARS CoV-2) will be like any other persistent virus and not so deadly.”
Artemisia Derivative Affects Replication of SARS-CoV-2 by Angela Mohan on January 13, 2021 at 12:43 PM
Extracts of Artemisia annua or Sweet wormwood, the agent that is used as antimalarial, found to stop the replication of severe acute respiratory coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), as per the team of researchers in the United States. This is the first report of anti-SARS-CoV-2 efficacy of hot water extracts of a wide variety of cultivars of A. annua sourced from four continents, says Pamela Weathers and colleagues. Further studies will determine in vivo efficacy to assess whether A. annua might provide a cost-effective therapeutic to treat SARS-CoV-2 infections.
Artemisinin have been safely used to treat malaria for more than 2,000 years. One study conducted in 2005 also concluded that the herb has an antiviral effect against SARS-CoV-1 - the agent responsible for the 2002 to 2003 SARS outbreak.
