#2 The Tea That Cures Malaria

Malaria is one of the world's most notorious health issues. And yet, some people try to cure it with a tea. The good news is: The tea actually works! The bad news: Not always. And each failed attempt is a training ground for malaria parasites to become resistant.

The Malaria treatment with Artemisia Annua might look tempting at first, but without proper equipment and training, this "natural" and cheap alternative can also play a role in the breeding of drug-resistant malaria. We take a look at the therapy and elaborate the basic concept of quality and quality assurance that is cut short with this treatment, especially in rural areas.
