Love Tu Youyou! She’s great. Her first name comes from a sentence in which they are also eating hao (artemisia) in the Chinese Book of Odes. Cool coincidence.

It is interesting that it's been used in traditional Chinese medicine for centuries, if not millenia. I don't know if it was used for malaria.

I used to grow it for my acupuncturist/herbalist. It is used in moxibustion.

Does mugwort have the same effect? It's also an artemisia.

If you are going to codename something that doesn't need a codename, you have to go all out. Never codename with numbers; it's just boring.
