A groundbreaking study published in the Life Sciences Journal revealed that artemisinin can selectively kill up to 86% of lung cancer cells in vitro (lab conditions) within 16 hours, while leaving healthy cells largely unharmed. This has led to increased interest in Artemisia annua as a natural adjunct therapy for those battling respiratory cancers.
