The World Health Organisation on Thursday advised governments to clinically test a herbal drink touted by Madagascar’s President Andry Rajoelina as a remedy against coronavirus.
The COVID-Organics infusion is derived from artemisia – a plant with proven anti-malarial properties – and other indigenous herbs.
Equatorial Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, and Niger Republic have already received consignments of the potion. Others such as Tanzania have expressed interest.But the World Health Organisation has repeatedly warned that there are no published scientific studies of the herbal tea and that its effects have not been tested.
Moeti said that in 2000, African governments had committed to taking “traditional therapies” through the same clinical trials as other medication.
