Artemisiae argyi folium is the dried leaves of Artemisia argyi of genus Artemisia in family Compositae. Both traditional medicine and modern medicine believe that the artemisiae argyi folium has the effect of resisting microbial infection. In vitro, A. argyi leaves have a broad spectrum of antibacterial and antiviral activity;In vivo, moxibustion and moxa can regulate a variety of immune function cells and cytokines, and maintain the stability of the internal environment. Since the outbreak of novel corona virus pneumonia, artemisiae argyi folium has played an important role in the epidemic prevention and control, it has aroused wide attention of the whole society. In order to further study and develop the plant resources of A. argyi, this paper reviews the textual research, resource distribution, chemical composition, antiviral and antibacterial activities and application value of the artemisiae argyi folium.
