Ewedu may become a scarce commodity
soon if what a consultant at LUTH in Idi
Araba, Prof Adebukola Ositelu said is true.
She has recommended people to take
Ewedu (Corchorus walcottii or Jew’s
Mallow) to cure and prevent Ebola virus
infection.
She said that Ewedu has a high potency
to boost the immune system and she
made this known during a program
organized by NAFDAC yesterday in Ikeja.
“Ositelu however, noted that chances of
being cured by an intake of Ewedu when
a victim has gotten to the stage of
vomiting was low, but could still be
administered.
She also gave a brief instruction on how
to prepare Ewedu for Ebola prevention
and cure.
Read it below:
• Rinse the Ewedu with liquid vinegar to
disinfect it
• Blend and cook it with drinkable water
• Do not add salt or any other ingredients
• Take 25cl of the mixture once a week,
first thing in the morning and when going
to bed at night
• Those infected should take the dosage
every morning for 7 days.
