What is in COVID-Organics?

COVID-Organics is a herbal remedy beverage, The herbal drink is produced from a species under the 

Artemisia genus from which artemisinin is extracted for malaria treatment. COVID-Organics was developed and produced in Madagascar by the Malagasy Institute of Applied Research. Madagascar was the first country to decide to integrate Artemisia into COVID-19 treatment

As COVID-19 spread across Africa and leaders put their countries in lockdown, Madagascan President Andry Rajoelina last month launched an herbal remedy that he claimed could prevent and cure the disease. UN health agency has urged people not to try untested remedies for COVID-19 after Madagascan president promotes 'cure'

The African Union said it was in discussion with Madagascar with a view to obtain technical data regarding the safety and efficiency of the herbal remedy. In an attempt to reassure people and brush aside safety concerns, Rajoelina took a dose of 

COVID-Organics at the launch event and said it was safe to be given to children.
