The use of herbs has played a very vital role in major African countries before the arrival of the Medical Doctors.
The use of traditional herbs cannot be overlooked in this modern world that we are now.
There's a song that was sung by a popular Juju maestro, KING SUNNY ADE, about traditional herbs.
Grand water of herbs!
Erosion of herbs!
This is what Osun usually uses to bath her children,
before the arrival of the Medical Doctor
Yoruba translation
Sènléwù àgbo!
Àgbàrá àgbo!
Lòsun nfí we omo rè,
Kí dókítà ó tó dé.
This song's lyrics above have made us know more about the importance of herbs.
The use of traditional herbs has been a reliable way for some people to take care of their different illnesses.
Nowadays, there are different tradomedical hospitals where they treat people's illnesses with herbs and other traditional materials for the treatment.
We are in the twenty-fourth century, where the use of herbs is not valued in some areas. To some classes of people, it doesn't have a purpose.
The dependence on the use of medicine in some parts of Africa is low, and this was a result of their beliefs in herbs. In these places, they don't even make attempts to go to the hospital for child delivery; instead, they give birth by themselves without consulting any medical practitioner, and they are healthy.
The dependence on the herb for survival is possible if, unfortunately, the production of medicine was stopped because the herb had been in existence even before the arrival of the medicine. The fact that we rely on medicine in this century doesn't stop some people from taking herbs because they feel it is the best option for them at this point.
The dependence on herbs for human survival cannot be fully guaranteed because there are some illnesses that herbs cannot take care of and using herbs to treat all these kinds of illnesses can lead to a loss of life.
Imagine using herbs to treat a patient who was supposed to undergo surgery but as a result of ignorance and wrong belief, these can claim the life of such a person.
The use of medicine is very essential as it will hasten the good health of a patient.
In the life that we live now, people have already neglected the use of herbs for the treatment of their different illnesses just because of how much they value their lives and health.
It is a great privilege that we are now living in a world that gives us access to medical treatment by medical experts. It has made us be assured that we are in safe hands and we can be sure of sound health.
It is very funny to me whenever I visit any hospital, and I find out that a traditional doctor is on admission at the hospital for proper treatment.
Civilization has made several people abstain from the use of herbs because too much of it can lead to a problem in their body system.
The world has experienced a change and cannot survive through the use of herbs.
