NATURAL HERBAL REMEDY FOR ALL TYPES OF FEVER

It is my pleasure to introduce to you all a natural herbal alternative medicine formular that can benefit everyone. Alternative medicine is as old as history itself. It is a norm in Nigeria for everyone to use herbal medicine as it is generally acceptable and there are no side effects if applied at the right time and with the right quantity.

Malaria is one of the commonest killer disease in tropical Africa. We have seen different types of malaria with different names. Their symptoms are almost similar. There is Malaria fever, Typhoid Fever, Yellow fever, Jaundice etc. Not to talk of the Corona virus that also present similar symptoms of malaria. Most of the aforementioned fevers attack usually the immune system. For this reason it is advisable that we all build a strong immunity.

There is a herbal remedy that has proved healthful in my family and to most Nigerians in the treatment of Malaria and Typhoid fever. In the Western part of Nigeria it is called ‘Agbo’, and is very popular among the Yoruba speaking tribe. You can buy it already cooked and prepared or you buy your ingredients from the herbal market, depending on what treatment you want to prepare for.

I have chosen some ingredients that has proved the test of time in treating malaria and typhoid fever and other symptoms that attacks the lungs and heart.

INGREDIENTS:

Lemon grass, Graviola (Sour-soup leave), blood leave (Justicia Carnea), Lemon, Lime, Grape, Ginger, Tumeric, Garlic, Onions, Awakpa (Local root), Water.

METHODS OF PREPARATION:

First wash all your ingredients separately to remove dirt from them. The Garlic and the Onions peel out from their cloves then cut to small sizes and keep. The Ginger and Tumeric do not scrape off their skin, simply wash thoroughly and cut to smaller pieces. The Grape, Lime and Lemon do not peel them just wash them and cut each into 4 equal parts. Then add the Lemon grass, Graviola leave and the Blood leave (Justicia Carnea) .

Now pour everything inside the pot after thorough washing and fill your pot with water.

At this time place your pot to your gas stove and turn on the heat.
Allow to cook for at least 30 to 40 minutes to a good boiling point so that the ‘Awakpa’ herb must have cooked fine. You will start to perceive the sweet aroma of the whole mix. Now it is ready for consumption. Turn off the heat allow it to cool down to a warm stage.

You are free to serve it.

This drink is highly medicinal. The taste is bitter although the bitterness is not too strong because some people who always love sweet things might not welcome it, but its sweet aroma from both the Lemon grass and the Lemon fruit is welcoming. It has a fine red wine-colour, because of the Blood leave added to it.
