It may be true that using traditional medicines, which come in the form of herbal mixtures, work wonders, but the truth is that they can be very dangerous to your health, a situation that can lead to death.

There are so many reasons these concoctions can kill you; for instance, you don’t know what they contain. You might be allergic to some of the ingredients, thereby, which can cause medical complications. Another reason is that there is no regulated dosage. You might be taking too much or too small.

And it is not regulated by the National Agency for Food and Drugs Administration and Control (NAFDAC), so why use it? The essence of regulation by the NAFDAC is to ensure that drugs are up to standard.

When you take herbal mixtures, you are actually doing more damage than good. This is so because continuous usage of these mixtures can cause liver failure. It is just a matter of time before you become very sick. So, please let’s stop using these mixtures.
