SEC-S16 / W5 | " Ancient Medicine"🌍👩⚕️

Hello guys, welcome to my blog for the week. My week is just starting on day 4 of the week but it's all good I could muster the courage to try my hands here. They say tough times require tough measures but I do hope my measures will come by. Anyway, ancient medicine requires that there is some level of involvement given to it in our present modern time.

My country performed different ancient medicine practices that worked for them. This isn't for us to undermine their practices as it was their only source of medical treatment. Ancient medicine found through the old era and still found in our present time is the medicine of herbs and roots.

Herbs are roots and are majorly one source of treatment our forefathers held so enduring to themselves without allowing it slide down their throat and unpassed to the next generation. There were different ways by which these medicines were performed and served purposes at different moments.

There are soluble medicines that drink in shots and measurable cups to help cure fevers of different types. Others are in the form of oils and are massaged into the skin for their efficacy. At different times, there are testimonies to what extent these ancient medicines. have done in treatment.

I have seen people drink from the concussions made from a mixture of different herbs and roots. I've had cause to ask some of the sellers of these mixtures to know what they have and the answers I got wow me. I worry that many, especially from the lower class, so much believed in this mixture.

When I asked my questions, I was meant to believe that the mixtures that handled those with excess sugar were available, those with malaria, typhoid, infection of different types, stomach cleansing, etc.

We also have traditional medicine that handles bone fractures. This is the most acceptable way of treating bone issues around here as they believe modern methods are either expensive or they are not certain to handle it like the ancient ways. Have you seen where one with such is treated? They come out with some colorations around the affected area.

In as much I have not indulged in any of these before now, I wouldn't say it doesn't work and if it doesn't work, how did our forefathers treat themselves? I may have reservations about this but the good thing is that it works for those who patronize them.

In my place of work, I know of a woman who comes every morning with this mixture to sell to her patronizers. It is working for them, that's the reason the seller comes every morning to sell her market. The funniest thing is that every time they drink this, the expression on their face can tell how unpleasant or bitter it is.

• Neem Leaf:
  This is the most popular of all leaves I've come to see that works very well. In the treatment of malaria, I could remember that many people use this leaf in the self-treatment of malaria. It is bitter and has been flagged good ingredient in the treatment of malaria.

• The Lemon Fruit:
  Each time I remember this fruit, I remember the COVID-19 era when the price of this fruit had to go up due to increased patronage. This was used as an immune booster as a fruit and in conjunction with other mixtures.

• The Lemon Grass:
  Lemon grass is a good combining mixture of ingredients that help in the treatment of ailments. To help stir up the treatment of malaria and typhoid, it is combined with the neem leaf to allow it to work effectively.

• Ginger & Garlic:
  This is part of the roots that also played a key role during the COVID-19 era. In conjunction with lemon fruit, these roots combined and sold so much during the era. It is an immune booster, cleanser, and anti-viral front runner.

In the mixture of the concussion consumed during the COVID-19 era, the lemon juice is extracted whereas the the roots (ginger and garlic) are grated and mixed with warm water before sieving and consumption. Sometimes, they are all boiled together, the water is also consumed.

For the popular AGBO that we know which is a mixture of some known and unknown herbs and roots, it is served in a small cup. All the grinded herbs are mixed.

Thank you, Friends...
