Umhlonyane, also known as Artemisia afra, is one of the oldest and
best-documented indigenous medicines in South Africa. This bush,
which grows wild throughout the sub-Saharan region, smells and
tastes like "medicine," thus easily making its way into people's
lives and becoming the choice of everyday healing for Xhosa
healer-diviners and Rastafarian herbalists. This "natural" remedy
has recently sparked curiosity as scientists search for new
molecules against a tuberculosis pandemic while hoping to recognize
indigenous medicine. Laplante follows umhlonyane on its trails and
trials of becoming a biopharmaceutical - from the "open air" to
controlled environments - learning from the plant and from the
people who use it with hopes in healing.
