The Chief Executive Officer of Quincy Herbals Naturopathic and Wellness Centre, Mrs Olasumbo Ayodele, has said herbal medicine could be used to prevent and manage COVID-19 symptoms.
Ayodele, in an interview with our correspondent, praised health workers in the frontline of fighting COVID-19, urging the Federal Government to carry herbal medicine practitioners in the management of COVID-19 patients in the country.
“Even though we are not allowed in our practice to use the word ‘cure’, I know that herbal medicine can be used for prevention, to remedy the symptoms and to manage the attack of the virus in emergency cases.” “I believe the Federal Government should collaborate with herbal medicine practitioners to fight this pandemic. Even if it is to manage symptoms at the onset or preventative level that herbal medicines are administered, this will help to reduce mortality rates in Nigeria,” Ayodele said.
Ayodele said the bill, when passed and signed into law, would help herbal medicine producers to go into full commercialisation, which would, in turn, help the country bounce back economically.
