5 Problems That Users Of 'Agbo Jedi' (Local Concoction) Will Face by lolaxavier(m): 5:24pm On Oct 29, 2016


Agbo jedi is found in many homes, and a lot of people swear by it as the prevention and cure of jedi-jedi (haemorrhoids). Packed with the richness of many herbs (in unknown proportions), it has claimed to stand the test of time. The concerns for the possible side effects on the body have been talked about for a while now within the scientific community, but agbo jedi is still going strong. What are these concerns and what are the risks involved when you take a swig of this bitter drink?

1. Toxicity

People believe strongly that this is herb, and herbs don’t harm anyone. But the truth is this is a mixture of so many things, including toxins, and only one of these substances alone is enough to serve as a poison within the body. If the concentration is high enough, it could lead to sudden death.

2. Side effects

The other alluring factor, apart from claims of agbo actually working, is the fact that it is made from all natural ingredients. The fact that it is natural, does not automatically mean it is safe, and that is something that needs to be understood. Every drug has potential side effects, but because it is usually unclear what is in this agbo, it may be more disastrous if an unwanted effect does happen, as it is easier to deal with something that is known.



3. Poor or inadequate treatment

Most people who take agbo to cure ailments do not bother going to a proper medical facility for proper diagnosis. Also, after they feel their symptoms are resolved, there would most likely not be follow up visits to the doctor to be sure everything is fine. This leaves open the possibility of the underlying ailment remaining unknown and untreated; and causing bigger health problems in the future. Remember, a tree is better destroyed when it is still a small plant.

4. Interference with medication

Some people will go to the hospital to get drugs, and they will still go back home to combine such with agbo. Research has shown that some herbs increase the concentration of drugs in the body beyond the length of time the manufacturers intended. This would mean that a dose of Viagra will last longer than intended. The result of this is more harmful side effects occurring in the body; but avoiding agbo, especially while taking conventional medicines, resolves this problem.

5. Kidney failure

This is the most terrible complication of long-term use of agbo. He kidneys have to filter out toxins and other chemicals from the body in the form of wastes in urine. But agbo has been found to conain substances that gradually weaken and finally destroy the kidneys. This is why every now and then, you’ll find someone whose kidneys have packed up, and now needs someone else to ‘dash’ him another kidney. Crazy, huh?

Agbo jedi has been used by many and beneficial herbs are likely present in them. However, because the concentrations used have not been monitored to ensure it is always safe, it poses a hazard. A lot of the drugs in circulation are made from plants under proper conditions, making it less of a gamble when you use them.

So, be careful what you take. Ignorance is no excuse.
