Registered summary

Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) can cause symptoms like bloating, stomach pain, and changes in bowel movements, significantly affecting quality of life. Many people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) also have SIBO, and there is growing recognition of how important it is to address this condition. Artemisia annua has shown potential in managing SIBO based on early reports and studies suggesting it can fight bacteria like \*E. coli\* and \*Klebsiella\*, which are linked to a type of SIBO that produces hydrogen gas. The full summary is on the listing.

What it tests, as registered

Artemisia Annua Leaf; Centaurii herba

Registered summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to determine whether Artemisia annua dried leaves, used as an infusion, can treat individuals with malaria parasites but no symptoms. The main question it aims to answer is: Can Artemisia annua infusion be used to treat malaria? Researchers will compare those receiving Artemisia annua infusion with those receiving an infusion of Centaurii herba (which has no effect on malaria parasites) to see whether all individuals treated with Artemisia annua infusion are cured, which should not be the case for those receiving Centaurii herba infusion. The full summary is on the listing.
