As medical expenses continue to soar, more Nigerians are turning to herbal medicine as an alternative form of healthcare.

A recent report from the World Health Organisation (WHO) highlights the growing global reliance on herbal remedies, which many view as complementary or alternative therapies.

Oluwafemi Adelakun; a Certified Health Coach and an Executive Director at NACU Herbal, one of Nigeria's leading herbal medicine companies, emphasised the safety and effectiveness of herbal treatments in an interview with Legit.ng.

He explained that herbal medicine offers a holistic approach to health, using natural plants and extracts to prevent, manage, reverse and treat various ailments.

Adelakun remarked:

“Herbal medicine taps into the healing properties inherent in nature. “It works in harmony with the body to restore balance and promote overall well-being”

Adelakun pointed out several advantages of herbal remedies. One key benefit is the use of natural ingredients, which reduces the risk of synthetic side effects commonly associated with conventional medications.

Additionally, he said herbal medicine promotes holistic healing by addressing the root causes of ailments rather than merely alleviating symptoms.

"It is also more affordable and accessible, especially in areas where traditional healthcare options may be scarce or expensive."Herbal remedies are also deeply embedded in cultural practices, making them a trusted choice in many communities."Moreover, many herbal practices emphasise sustainability, with environmentally responsible harvesting methods ensuring that natural resources are preserved for future generations."

Adelakun believes that herbal medicine can work alongside modern treatments, offering complementary solutions to enhance patient care.

He added.

"Herbal medicine can help manage the side effects of conventional treatments, improve overall health, and provide alternatives for those seeking natural remedies."The synergy between herbal and modern medicine can lead to more personalised and comprehensive healthcare."

Adelakun also called on the Nigerian government to safeguard and promote knowledge of herbal medicine, which he believes is crucial for both cultural preservation and the sustainable use of biodiversity.

He said:

“Preserving herbal medical knowledge is essential for future generations," he said. "It protects invaluable traditional wisdom, supports biodiversity, and encourages the responsible use of plant species for medicinal purposes. "By nurturing our understanding of herbal medicine, we ensure that these practices continue to thrive alongside modern advancements, benefiting both our health and our environment."
