Am not sure if there's anyone across the Steemiverse who could write better than I in this area, yeah, I mean, which race use and still depends on herbs till date if not the African continent. The black man was raised by it, survived by it.

We've come to learn how to distill before the white men came, made sure the real curing active ingredient came out to do the healing, what more do you want, the problem was our inability to cherish what we had. We'd rather throw away our heritage at the slightest glimpse of a white man drug than believe in our own. Sure those pills came with a more better advantage like the ability to target the causative organism in the body and so on. Still I want you to know that many herbalist do research into herbs too, I actually comes from a family that does, my grandfather gave my dad a book in which it's written all the neccesary condiment to be put together for each diseases followed with some incantations.

We shouldn't be scared at this stage of the word "incantations" sometimes it's meant to invoke spirit(in some critical condition), on most occasion it's not so, it's just a reappraisal of those who have cured that ailment before them, the same way you upload a picture on Steemit and you put the [source] there. If you don't cheetah will flag you. The same way you give citation in a research articles. So you see? nothing is wrong with that.

Thanks to the new Innitiave by both the Federal Government and the strong will of the Trado-medical association, herbal drugs are now been sold in modern pharmacy and also shipped abroad. The new development now on the block is the move by NAFDAC urging the FG to establish institute for herbal medicine. What more is there to discuss.

I'm happy you're keeping alive the traditional knowledge of your people. I didn't know about this use of "incantations" for remembering the name of the previous healers. Oral culture, I guess...
