We may have outlived the days of medicine men and the use of herbs to cure diseases but that does not mean medicine men do not exist anymore and the herbs are no longer effective. In fact, contrary to these modern day beliefs, a team from Masinde Muliro University of Science and Technology was entranced by a special reintroduction to the ways our forefathers treated illnesses courtesy of Motomwaka Biodiversity Conservation Group. Some of these herbs are among those we bypass every day not realizing how potent they are in treating our health issues. Soon we may not need to run for chemically produced drugs.
