The method is to dry the Artemisinin and ignite it. The smoke generated during the burning process is mainly used, and there is no need for an open flame.

Artemisinin is a perennial herbaceous plant, about 50 centimeters tall, with many branches. The leaves are alternate, sessile, lanceolate, with a sharp apex, and sparse teeth or lobes at the base.

The head-like inflorescence is solitary and located at the top of the small branch. The bracts are numerous, arranged in several layers, with membranous edges resembling fish scales. The flowers are pale purple-red.

It grows in dry places such as roadsides and fields. Distributed in Xinjiang.
