In a word where humans can’t produce modern medicines again and solely depend on herbs will be chaotic, pardon my choice of word but its the truth, although 40% of drugs is being made from plants but alot of people has been spoilt by modernization including you and I.
Take me for example some days back I decided to drink bitter leaf juice because it is believed that it works very well for deworming, but just because of taste of it I preferred to take a normal deworming drugs, because thats far better and easier for me to take in less than a minute.
My little nieces and nephews even prefer to take injections for malaria and fever rather than drinking the “very popular Agbo” drink, civilization has turned the world around, and infact we can’t let go of modern drugs anymore because firstly;
Its very easy to get, take for example a patient is down with malaria and needs treatment instantly, the doctor or nurse or even me that didn’t study medicine in school knows 90% of the drugs that can be bought and be administered to that patient and within less than some hours the person might feel okay, but lets of herbs.. first of all I don’t even know the combination of herbs that should be put together and even if I knew, I will definitely have to start looking for the herbs from bush to another or begging people to pluck some pawpaw leaves or scent leaves from there garden, and what if they say No! What then will be fate?
But I have my money, and the pharmacy is very close to my house, I will just take a little stroll and give the pharmacist my test results and instantly she gives me the drugs.
Although herbs is actually the best and I’m not against it at all and even some doctors use it their clinics and make referrals to it, just like the famous zobo drink, the leaves are very good, and it helps to work on high blood pressure alot, it helps to regulate it, I actually found out about this through a nurse, because she gave that prescription to my brother in law, and it worked really fine, and from another nurse I heard about corn steaks and that it helps men from prostrate cancer at the early stage but then again corn is a seasonal fruit and the steak can’t be gotten all the time, now where does this leave us again, back to this same modern drugs!
Truthfully from my own opinion we can only survive on 50% of herbs because its not easy to get and mostly out of reach, most of the time these herbs are mostly found in the bush which isn’t really save for people to always enter anytime they fall sick, honestly we can’t survive on herbs 100% because so many people don’t believe it because they believe its fetish.
