Problems Solutions
The extracts failed to produce any promising results.
Tu and her team could not produce enough qinghaosu extract because research resources were limited.
Tu and her team did not have sufficient safety data to start trials on patients.
Tu Youyou referred to the ancient books of traditional Chinese medicine again, redesigned the experiments and tried extracting the qinghao herb at a low temperature in order not to damage its effective part.
Tu Youyou and her team managed to find solutions to the problem, e.g. using household water containers instead of research equipment.
Tu Youyou and her team volunteered to test the qinghao extract on themselves.
