Times have come to prove that some natural remedies are more efficacious in handling some tropical diseases, more than orthodox medicine. African herbs have been proven to work wonders in treating some deadly illnesses. Please, do not misunderstand me, I am in no way trying to rate orthodox medicine. Natural remedies are second to known because they are natural, and natural, which means “originality”. They have no side effects unlike conventional drugs but can handle issues better. Here are some of the tropical diseases that can be handled with natural remedies.
Most of these tropical diseases has been of great concern to the World Health Organization [W.H.O], Federal Ministries of Health, agencies/associations like the Nigerian Medical Association [N.M.A], and Non-Governmental Organizations like Bill & MelindaGate foundation have been vigorously, and relentlessly at the forefront with different kinds of programs just to control/prevent the spread of most of these tropical diseases. This is why we all must get involved in the fight against these diseases. The heat is worst in the 3rd world countries.
