Has anyone taken Artemisinin herb?

I was reading how some studies say that taking this herb stops the TB bacteria from going dormant and therefore allows the medication to do their job more quickly and effectively. Has anyone else heard anything about it? I'm going to get some but not sure of how much to take?

Hi askessing,

I haven't heard of this herb. If you do choose to try it, please let your doctor know first. It may be worth showing them the research you have read too.

Best wishes,

Helen
