COVID-19: Herbal medicine practitioner urges government to accept herb for treatment

Omobolanle who made this call in her herbal factory, Owode-Ede in Osun State while attending to some patients, noted traditional herbal medicine dealers among others were for ages known for solutions to strange diseases, lamenting that government reluctance to engage a traditional approach to research for permanent cure of the pandemic disease is highly regrettable.

Government at all levels should not watch people suffer and die without exploring all possible means for the cure to the Coronavirus pandemic.

“While government wait and hope on scientists for the solution to nip spread of the pandemic virus in the bud, traditional herbal medicine dealers have to consult for the solution. Nigeria survived HIV/AIDS, Lassa fever, Ebola among others and still survive Coronavirus pandemic” she said.

Omobolanle, who has produced many herbal drugs like Reez Bitters, M&B Herbal Capsules, Sarewole Herbal Bitter drinks among others with NAFDAC approval noted the important of the mentioned drugs to cure some chronic and minor ailments in the body like reduction of prostate growth, enhances fertility in men, typhoid fever, stroke among others, saying some diseases did not need to be operated in the hospital instead, “it just needed some herbal drugs for permanent solution”

Omobolanle, who has travelled far and near for research in the herbal medical services called on the government, NGO, individual to collaborate with her for lasting solution to any kind of diseases.

She, however, urged the community to comply with all government directives on safety and preventive measures pointing out that they should also observe and maintain a high level of personal hygiene.
