Nice development. It's high time we started utilizing the abundant herbs, barks and roots we've got all around us. Our forefathers used those and they lived long and healthy. Let's go back to the ways of our forefathers!! 3 Likes |

Yea. I was present in the hall when the Health Minister made that statement early this week. I believe it is a very welcome developement. We need to start training out Doctors (and also Pharmacists) to look inwards more in their search for better medicines to treat ailments. Orthodox medicine does not hold all the keys. 1 Like |

who will do the lecturing ..professors that did not study herbal medicine? Or real specialist in herbal medicine that have not been opportuned to get letters after their name? I hope its the latter. While we are on the matter of going back to our roots, is it not time our lawyers remove that disgusting colonial mentality wig from their heads? 1 Like |

Advantages of herbal medicine 1-Cheaper 2-Source of new drugs or precursors of new drugs 3-Accessible to everyone especially to the people in the rural areas. 4-Wider acceptability even in areas where orthodox medicine is not acceptable because it's related to the culture of the people. 5-Source of additional manpower to the health system 6-herbal remedies have a greater likelihood of being accepted by the body than those synthesized in the laboratory Embrace herbal medicine today |

Lagos state tried integration of the two systems some years ago.it failed woefully.. Bringing herbal medicine into the curriculum wont make ur anatomy less cubersome.. And when I mean the white labcoat fellas,i dont mean medical students but those already in practice(doctors,pharmacists,nurses e.t.c) imsu.boi: |

Gboliwe: My grandmother who did it isnt around anymoreAre the leaves not around anymore? This is the problem with us as a people losing our culture and turning our backs on local remedies.For this reason I say thumbs up to the FG for making herbal treatments/remedies a part of medical training.It makes no sense for us to have cheap local cures but instead go for very expensive foreign pharmaceutical medications which almost never cure any ailment and have serious side effects.Local diseases local treatments. |
