I grew up taking herbs when I was sick, my mum would get these leaves and cook them for me to drink and sometimes she would place the herbs in front of me and use a blanket to cover me to generate heat. Within a few days, I would be back up hale and hearty.
That was where I got to know the names of some leaves, ewe dongoyaro, ewe tea
and so many others which I have forgotten because the last time It was prepared for me was 13 years ago when I was still with my parent but now that distance made this impossible, I just buy the prepared herbs from sellers found on the street and it works great.
Earlier this year, I was sick and self-medicating, I went to the pharmacy and brought malaria drugs thinking it was malaria and I was relieved for a few days before it got worse to the extent that I had to call a nurse to treat me, The nurse also didn't run any test on me, she also assumed it was malaria that was doing me and gave me drips and injections, I was fine for few days only for it to start again.
I got tired of it and went to the laboratory to run some tests to know exactly what was wrong with me and that was where it was discovered that I had been suffering from typhoid and drugs were prescribed for me. I used the drugs too but still didn't work effectively, I would be fine today but the next day suffered from a hot temperature until I called quduus1 to help me bring typhoid herbs.
Guess what?
I used the herbs for just 3 days and I was cured! no more hot temperatures or headaches, just imagine the wonder of herbs.
This is why I prefer herbs to modern medicine unfortunately there is a limit to what herbs can do.
There was a story about a woman who lost her 4 children to cholera and the villagers thought she was a witch and stoned her to death but it was many years later that people got to know they died of cholera, ignorance is a disease.
Modern medication has helped to solve a lot of problems related to health that I do not think Herbs can cure.
Herbs can be used to cure typhoid, malaria, infection, and some other diseases but what about those ones that herbs alone can't cure. for example, how can one use herbs to cure liver or kidney disease, how will surgery be done without the modern treatment,
In the end, the world can't survive on herbs only, in case you want to argue that our forefathers survived without modern medicine and treatment, I would also like to remind you that we do not have many diseases then, not now that we have Aids, diabetics and other diseases are on us, herbs alone might not be able to save us because the world has changed, the food we eat has changed too.

I’m just curious, so what was happening in the olden days?
I heard people weren’t even sick most times or I’m wrong?
yes, no junk
No Aids
No diabetics
Cigarettes were not available to damage their organs
To cut it short, they lived a decent and simple lifestyle
unlike now that people sleep wth Dogs, consume different sort of mixture like coco samba and the likes which damages their organs and also consume foods that reduce their life span
The disease that is common there was cholera which was because of the river and stream water they drink, aside that, those people are strong and you will see them last 101 abve years, rarely can you see the gen z world last that long.
Oh yeahhhhhhh!!!!
That makes so much sense now
Thank you
This is a good idea on this post. Gone are the old days when there are different herbs for different illnesses but not like now again. I believe herbs have valuable healing properties, but they also they have limitations, just like other things. Modern medicine is very good for big health issues. But the combination of both can provide better health care if used properly.
Yea the combo of both makes us hale and healthy just like I did when I was ill... With the kind of diseases we have now, No way herbs alone can take care of all
Yeah, and even if it does, I think the era of those our parents that knows the real herbs to use are now going and most of these things are snot learnt by people in our own generation and it's making it look like herbs can't treat illnesses gain.. Back then when there was no drugs, people get cured of illnesses even faster and better and they lived longer than our own generation.
Herbs treatment is good for normal sickness but in case of critical illness, I think herbs are not so effective. I think the herb treatment still can be better if there are more experts to practice herb treatment.
yea we need expert and people are destroying nature and building houses there, some useful plants are now extinct....
As much as herbs was a life saver during the time of our forefathers , we can't depend on it 100% now. How amazing the herbs got u treated after trying the modern medicines...herbs are indeed powerful but can't save us in a case of complicated sickness
yea herbs are good for the common sickness, we need the modern ways for chronic ones especially those that deals with surgery
I can't agree with you less; the world really can't survive on herbs 100%. I know some people may say what about our forefathers; they survived without modern medicine, but a lot of them also died of different sicknesses and diseases they were ignorant about.
yea this is another point and the lifestyle they lived then was totally different from the one we are living now.... This generation is something else in everything
Yea, you are right. Our way of living is totally different from the way our fathers lived
Not every ailment can be solved by taking herbs but there are some of these people involved in selling herbs who have upgraded to learn more and make more research
For example, I have an aunt who treats Fibroid without you undergoing surgery
This still does not mean that herbs are better…
yea herbs can stil go far but in the end, modern medication will always beat it, i don't think herbs can suppress hiv
The last part is so true. There weren’t many illness back in their days. So it was easy to survive on Herbs.
at all, those were the lucky generation
Definitely the world has changed, our human system has become a bit weaker compared to olden times, herbs alone may not give us the best results, we need to combine it with modern medicine to be fully cured, especially with regards to modern sicknesses.
our body is very weak now, thanks to those producing the harmful substance we consume....
I feel the reason why herbs can’t cure most ailments anymore aside from malaria and all is because the things they used to consume then is something that herb could solve if it goes wrong but now, we are eating mayonnaise, shawarma and all those things I never imagined when I was little
That’s why so many people are having cancer and taking herbs can’t cure cancer
yea ad we have different kind of diseases now too
You made me remember the past too. Mom was a professional when it comes to knowing all kinds of herbs and she would write all in a list for me to just go and get them. Herbs are effective but not for all illness just like you have mentioned.
memories! 😃
This reminds me of the different theories of disease causation .
One of which is the ancestral theory where it is believed that diseases are caused by anger of our ancestors and as such sacrifices are bring given to appease them .
And as well as herbs .
hmmm yea, people and their beliefs and somehow it worked for them
Those two leaves you mentioned were and are still life saver. I also grew up with drinking herbs like taking water, there were times when we would be on herbs everyday for a week.
Herbs are potent and can cure many common diseases, yet, herbs can only solve too few among the disease that are around the world now. There are lots of limitation to herbs, so the world can't depend on it on a scale of 100.
You are right, there were lesser diseases during our forefather's era.
I still believe in herbs better than the modern medicine when it comes to malaria and typhoid but when it comes to other ailment, modern medication would always beat herbs
