Nazareth Sisters and value of medicinal plants in India

Artemisia is a miracle cure for malaria which is a killer disease in the area. Sister Anjana SCN cultivates artemisia around her health center in small scale to promote its use among the simple villagers who succumb to malaria in large numbers every year. Sister Anjana Kunnath, SCN, and her team demonstrated the importance of artemisia medicinal plants for over 3,000 small farmers during the Kisan (Farmers) Rally on July 4 in the Chechadi Valley of Mahuadanr.
