Are you wondering why I took market Friday to a herbal store?
This is quite unusual and maybe unacceptable but Herbs are still in good sales in Nigeria and alot of our people prefer to take this unprocessed concortions as drugs instead of our modern medicines.

Herbs are quite cheap compared to modern medicine but are they more effective? We may need to investigate that.

Growing up as a child I had a health challenges that came with series of complications.
One of it was a bloated stomach that posed so much concern.
Right from childhood the stomach was enlarged and as I grew further a part of the stomach became hardened.

Since my parents were uneducated the first approach was to seek herbal intervention.
From one state to another we visited different herbalist, buying and drinking different concoctions.
So many Shrine in my hometown knew my name 😁😀😃 .
They were always cooking different root, leaves and anything you can think of.
There was a time I had to eat a part of an animal raw just because some herbs needed a sacrifice alongside.

In summary, All of it never brought solution to the problem I was facing. The challenge was that I had massive Hepatospleenomegaly(medical term for Enlarged Liver and spleen).
I grew up pregnant with these two organs, they were quite heavy since the liver covered the whole of my stomach and was punching by abdomen.

To make you laugh a bit, some of these herbalist or native doctors told me I had a variety of things in my tummy.
Some said it was spiritual Ice block that needed herbs and incantation to melt it out, some said it was a mass of Compiled Sand... This scared me alot since Picca made me eat of sand until this day, don't blame me 🙈🙈🙈, I still have cravings for quality sand and some other dirty items 😭😆😃

This is by the way.

Herbs never cured me but that doesn't mean that they are not effective.
I have used herbs for lesser health issues in the past, Fever, typhoid shortage of blood and the likes.
But my only concern remains that these herbs are highly concentrated and contains chemicals and toxins unfit for our health.

Medicine seeks to remove these impure component, toxins and other giving us the active ingredient specific to an illness for its treatment alone.

There is one particular one I liked the most, its active ingredient has been extracted and used to make Cyclavite to reduce sickling in people with Anaemia conditions.
But I prefer to take the herb branch of the tree instead of the purified form.

They didn't have that in store today I could have showed us what it looks like.
I had to stop taking it because it had a drawback that I noticed and this is equally the problem with many herbs.

Can see the massive herbs, trees, root, leaves and all sort from this herb store I visited?

And to give us a more practical market Friday experience.
I visited 2herb stores and even bought this concortions you see here.

I told me e woman that I needed concortions for fever.
She fetched a liquid form of something cooking in a pot, added different other components and sold this to mis for $0.43 cents.

Sorry am not gonna take this, the smell and taste is pissing me off already 😭😭😭

These herb sellers are trained to understand tress, leaves stems roots and the different function of each part.

Modern day medicine is expensive and so is our health.
Good health is not cheap, some drugs are expensive to the tune of millions, this is why it is absolutely important for us to take good care of ourselves and avoid diseases and sickness that is avoidable.

Don't buy a cheap herb and damage your liver, I hope and pray that quality health care will become accessible to everyone in the nearest future.

NB : There are health insurance packages that are very useful in emergency situations.. Most countries have quality health insurance that is working and efficient.

Not at all! This is great! It is totally a #MarketFriday!! It has all the things we look for a market of sorts, a purchase, an experience, and culture... so much more!

Many people around the world take herbs and I use herbs for the first round of treatment when possible. There is a time when modern medicine needs to intervene, but, many times, there is no need to put all that stuff in your body. (that is only my opinion)

I would like to know more about herbs and find it interesting how they work and what they do. Did you ever get your medical issue put to rest or are you still trying to take care of it?

Thank you so much for taking the time to explain, show off and educate people on the herbal route! It was an interesting and unique Market this week!

to me

#MarketFriday began as a way to reach out across the globe and learn about different cultures through their markets, especially local markets and farmers' markets, and eventually branched out and evolved over time from straight shopping to a cultural affair as it highlights how we differ and then again, how much we are alike. We have become a melting pot of culture, but it is still the Rituals, Festivals, food, architecture, and even your language/languages that separate us... Along with the fact that these things are normal for us. There are unwritten rules that rule our social behaviors. I see this as allowing for increased tolerance between cultures and nations, and opportunities to come together on an even playing ground. A strong culture can be beneficial to a country as it promotes unity, especially during a crisis, peaceful debate, and open dialogue. I have learned so much about all of you and it has been an amazing experience. I can only hope that learning about each other can help us work together for a peaceful world.

Thank you for being a part of #MarketFriday

I was begining to get scared of herbs when because of the multiple components and we were taught that modern medicines were more purified.

From my blog today I have received numerous comments now and have seen so many people taking herbs from different part of the world.
It might not be all that bad after all.

My health challenges got a solution but I can't say it was the hospital or herbs since both treatment were simultaneous and I couldn't point to which drug or herb brought the cure.
Although another version said that the liver shrinks in size and can heal up on its own if I am taking quality blood supplement and transfusion.
Treatment lasted throughout my teenage years and late 20's, am healthier now and stomach is in shape.

Thank you for the kind words and support.

Wow! You really have herbal stores in your country. Here we can buy some herbal plants or items in a specific person, we seldom see them in market or stores.

We are also using herbal but we usually make our own.

I hope you can find the right medicine for your health problem.

Wow, I never knew that herbs are widely used as such.
I guess that we it will be good to if we learn more about herbal plant so that the knowledge will not be lost.

I did find the right medicine and am doing much better now.

Thanks for stopping by. 💕

Good to hear about that. Yes we know some herbal plants and almost everything around is a herb. We just don't know for where and how to make it.

My mum is a great admirer of herbs, she makes her own and used it often as supplement when she eats. Good health can really be expensive. I hope everything works out well for you :)

Sorry to hear about your condition. But did you get any better now?
I don't like taking herbal medicines actually because of their awful smell and taste..
And seeing the herbal market in your place, I would question the hygiene and possible sickness that might be developed from taking those herbs. Not to offend, but I don't find them safe.. I'm always into cleanliness, may it be a place or food..

I totally understand you.
One could take herb for a particular illness and contract another from the condition of that herb.
Besides some of these herbs are not safe unless we harvested and prepared the herbs hygienically and by ourselves.

My health is fine now.
Thank you for your kind words.

Very educative article, my daughter also used to suffer from blood shortage when she clocked one, transfusion was always needed, till I got introduced to herbs from this same type of herb sellers, she's five now and for the past 4 years haven't had any need for transfusion also in superb health, though she doesn't take the herbs often anymore.
