The Max Planck Institute show artesunate, as well as certain extracts of one-year-old wormwood, act against the coronavirus at the cellular level

Ljubinje/Potsdam — After years of struggling for business in the sunny southeastern corner of Bosnia and Herzegovina, herbalist Petar Mihic’s phone hasn’t stopped ringing since German scientists discovered that sweet wormwood might help treat Covid-19.

“In recent months, the demand has risen more than ever before. Many people have contacted me from Germany,” Mihic said at his plantation near his hometown of Ljubinje. Clinical trials are underway in Mexico, with results expected in the next two to three months, Peter Seeberger, director of the Max Planck Institute, said.

But with few treatment options, some people and companies are prepared to bet on sweet wormwood before trial results.
