Artemisia annua, the annual mugwort - a plant that received little attention in Europe for a long time.
Unjustifiably so - because Artemisia annua is an extremely important plant with a very wide range of uses and a lot of valuable ingredients, which are mainly hidden in the leaves. In Asia in particular, annual mugwort has been held in high esteem for over 2000 years, where it was used for various purposes even before the birth of Christ.
What makes annual mugwort so unique, how you can recognize good quality and why our teemana quality differs from that of conventional products is explained below.
OUR ARTEMISIA ANNUA ANAMED (ABBREVIATED "A-3")
Known worldwide for years - the special cultivar Artemisia annua anamed (A-3) you get only from us!
The wild forms of Artemisia annua have a number of disadvantages: they usually only reach a height of 50 centimetres, have a low yield of leaves and produce few and unevenly distributed ingredients. In addition, the wild plant flowers as soon as the day length is less than 14 hours. In other words, in Africa, annual mugwort often flowers in the plain at a size of 5 cm and then dies. In Europe, annual mugwort starts to flower in early summer; this is problematic as the pollen of the mugwort plants is generally known to have a very allergenic effect.
Our Artemisia annua anamed (A-3), on the other hand, is a special variety of annual mugwort that is available exclusively from us. Itcontainsaround 20 timesmore artemisinin thanmost wild forms of the Artemisia annua plant(which is 1.4% instead of the usual 0.05-0.4%). With extensive care, it grows to a considerable size of up to3 meters, even in tropical zones. It is free fromany genetic manipulation andis not a hybrid form. In addition, it has no flowers at the time of harvest in late fall, which makes it a very allergy-friendlyvariety.
Charakteristisch ist außerdem ein überdurchschnittlich hoher Ertrag an Blättern, von denen wir nur die hochwertigsten in unser Endprodukt aufnehmen. Bei der üblichen Ernte von Pflanzen in Europa werden meist Traktoren eingesetzt; dadurch enthält das fertige Produkt jede Menge Stängel. Unsere Blätter werden von unseren Erzeugern in Deutschland behutsam und mit viel Sorgfalt per Hand abgestreift und anschließend schonend verarbeitet, um die vielen wertvollen Inhaltsstoffe zu erhalten und Ihnen so ein Produkt von höchstmöglicher Qualität und Reinheit zu bieten.
In contrast to the usual Herba quality, which consists of mechanically chopped plant parts and usually contains 80% ineffective stems, our product is also far more concentrated. Our product is characterized by a pure leaf cut or leaf powder from high-quality processing - you can only get this original from us!

About Artemisia annuaOrigin and properties
Die grüne Pflanze aus der Familie und Gattung der Korbblütler stammt ursprünglich aus Asien. In den Bergen der nordchinesischen Provinzen Chahar und Suiyuan ist sie unter dem Namen „Quinghao“ bekannt. Hier wird sie bereits seit Jahrhunderten kultiviert, um ihre zahlreichen Potentiale auszuschöpfen.
In the meantime, however, annual mugwort has also conquered other areas of our globe - the plant species can be found worldwide in many temperate, subtropical and tropical zones, including the whole of Asia, Europe and North Africa. It does not even shy away from the dry climate of deserts and semi-deserts and takes root here. However, annual mugwort thrives best on the Eurasian continent, where it can often be seen growing wild or in cultivation.
An association from Winnenden has made A-3 known all over the world , and the cultivation and use of this A-3 plant in the development partnership is promoted, for example, by a state-run German development organization, the GIZ, in eastern Congo/Africa. Two of the association's employees have even received the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany for their work.
The Latin name "Artemisia annua" has its origins in Greek. Here, "Artemis" is the highly respected goddess of hunting, the moon and the forest, as well as the protector of children and women. As the name suggests, Artemisia annua is an annual plant. Its finely serrated leaves exude an aromatic scent due to the many essential oils. It usually grows to a height of 50 to 100 centimetres. Our special cultivar Artemisia annua anamed is an exception here, however - it can reach a proud height of up to 3 meters.
There are around 400 different species of mugwort worldwide . The name comes from this: after marching for days, Roman soldiers rubbed their feet with mugwort plants to refresh themselves; hence mugwort became mugwort. The common or ordinary mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris), which was already highly valued by the Germanic tribes and used for traditional and ritual purposes, is native to Germany. Wormwood (Artemisia absinthium) is also part of the mugwort family. As the leaves look characteristically different, it is not difficult to tell the different species apart.
In total, annual mugwort contains over 600 different valuable ingredients. The most important of these is artemisinin, which has been extensively researched in recent decades.
The enticing scent of Artemisia annua is due to its high content of essential oils . These are limonene, menthol, alpha-terpinene, alpha-pinene, beta-pinene, carene, artemisia ketones, copaene, caryophyllene and alpha-terpineol.
