Guest guest Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 Anybody have some good ideas for Sweet Annie? (How about Sweet Annie as " herb of the week " ? I LOVE Annie-- I've got her growing all over my garden/yard!! She smells LOVELY-- I enjoy her just growing in the yard, and this time of year I bring in the harvest and dry some to use as pot pouri (sp?) and sprinkle on the carpet to freshen, etc. But I have a LOT of Sweet Annie!! What other uses for Sweet Annie are there? (If anybody wants some dried bundles-- e-mail me-- I have PLENTY!! Thanks! --Sue suemogle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 Artemisia annua I have read that sweet annie was used during WWII as an antimalarial. I have also read that is used as a anti-parasitic/dewormer. I do not use it herbally. It is a very potent herb. It can cause dermatitis and other allergic reactions. I do however, use the stalks frequently. When stripped of the lateral branches, they are strong. They have a bamboo type appearance but they keep their nice green color. I use them for craft and decorating projects all the time. I also give them to a friend who says they make some of the best atl atl darts he's ever made. The year before last I had a sweet annie stalk that measured 13 and a half feet after I stripped it down. travel lightly,walk softly Mary Alana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
