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. Participants will * drink Artemisia annua infusion over seven days (three days at our research centre and four days at their home * visit the research centre once a week for three weeks after treatment for one month for safety reasons
