00:00Harbo medicine has always been part of our lives.

00:03For some, it's the first option before any hospital visit.

00:07Now, the government says it wants to take it seriously by developing it properly

00:12and making it something people can trust and use safely.

00:17Garden Nigeria is the street to hear directly from Nigerians.

00:21When sick, where do you visit first, hospital or herb cellars?

00:27Oh no, I don't do herb cellars.

00:28Yes, I actually go to the hospital.

00:31If it's something that is minor, I know that these are the symptoms that I've seen over time.

00:36I go to a good pharmacist and take medications and it works for me.

00:40But if I see something I cannot handle, I go to the hospital straight up

00:43so that I will not fall short of a dino kind of situation.

00:47I wouldn't want something that would damage my system.

00:50I'm just being careful.

00:51I prefer going to the hospital for proper check-up.

00:54Health is worse.

00:55Personally, I don't patronize them and I believe they don't have enough that assessment.

01:01So I don't patronize them.

01:03Whoever patronizes them, you're on your own risk for me.

01:07So I prefer going to the hospital for proper check-up.

01:11I really love ADO.

01:12I prefer ADO to the emergency.

01:14Well, it depends on what is wrong with me.

01:17So if it's just like malaria, I go and get drugs from the pharmacy.

01:25I don't like ADO, so I prefer I use drugs because you're fast and the treatment needs to be quick.

01:35And not like ADO, that you'll be drinking and drinking.

01:39You know, if you go to the hospital, they will do tests.

01:41They will do some other things.

01:42They will know what is wrong with you.

01:45But ADO, they cannot be sure of what is wrong with you.

01:50So I just feel, hospital is better.

01:52I go to the hospital first.

01:54Because when I go to the hospital, they will take tests.

01:59They will first of all take samples of my blood and tests to confirm what is wrong with me,

02:05whether I'm having malaria or typhus or anything.

02:09Why if I take ADO?

02:11ADO may not be the herbs, may not be the drugs I want in my body.

02:18So first of all, I go to the hospital and take the sample of tests.

02:22Then after then, they will not write drugs.

02:26I will not take the proper medication instead of ADO.

02:31I go to the hospital.

02:32Because I believe the best way to treat ourselves.

02:35Because there are so many fake ADO in the markets.

02:39So I prefer going to the hospital so I can be treated well.

02:42In terms of injection, then the drugs, then drip.

02:48Because it helps to boot our system.

02:49Herbal medicine remains a part of many people's health choices.

02:54Whether used alone or alongside modern treatment.

02:58As the conversation around it continues to grow,

03:01so does the interest in how it might be developed,

03:04understood and used more safely in the future.

03:08Let us hear your thoughts in the comments below.
