We Lost Our Culture On The Alter Of Civilization!!! by tonychristopher: 9:12am On May 25, 2015
I woke up this morning and I came to realized that we have lost a whole lot on the alter of civilization. I could remember my friend grand father that treats hot flashes and womb of women with simple herbs in the bush and he charges them little or nothing. The herbs works wonder and he treats women with fertility issues. I mean the women that wants to give birtjs but have difficulty with that. This man treats them …but its unfortunate that this man is dead. Now we were told that anything traditional is fetish by christain missionaries in anambra. Today our women are having fibroid, menopause early where as the treatment is everywhere. With just herbs and leaves these ailments will be gone.
I could remember my late mum treating us acute malaria with guava, pawpwer, elephant grass and mango leaves in hot water and cover you in a blanket. Just like a home made sauna or steam room. She is dead now I have lost the practise, I regret it…today we are buying artesunate malaria tablets.

We igbos or African used to be strong and treats ourselves with basic herbs like ude aki and other things but I think we are losing it on the alter or modernization. Today we are Russian asian hern tea whereas we had our own. I will advise anybody that the parents or grand parents are alive today and they have idea of herns and it useage..they should learn it. there is huge money to be made here..ask Qiuncy Ayodele..she is making tons of money
If you can use herb to make a woman that couldn’t see her menses to start menstruating and ovulating then give birth…you will see the kind of money you will make. Only if you are sure that you know the job very well. Herbs and its useage is a specialized trado medicine and if you are educated you can package it and make your consulation clinics modern. Can you imagine making a man with weak erection or impotence to have a erection again…it is a money spinner

We should tap from our roots, there is blessing in that, we can export it and know that lord gave us these knowledge. Genesis 1:29
And God said, “Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit. You shall have them for food.

Our people suffer for lack of information. If your grand parents are alive today and they still use herbs please learn them and document them for posterity.

Thank you

Brother, i think we have completely lost it, i recently met a young lady who told me that whenever she gives birth, she goes the compound next door to pluck a particular small fruit in a pod, she told me she opens it up and swallow three seeds out of it, she said with that done, there is 100% guarantee that she will not conceive for 9 months, she even told me that there is another seed she can use that she wont conceive for three years. She said she learnt about it from her grandfather who told her that that was what he used for child spacing with his wives. I guess we have lost it really! sad
