Resumen

There is increased use and popularity of herbal medicine in Nigeria in recent times. Scholars from different fields have attributed this recent upsurge to economic issues, high cost of modern medical care, loss of confidence in synthetic drugs, resistant of diseases to some modern drugs and easy accessibility of herbal medicines and its practitioners, amongst others. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), a large portion of the world’s population patronizes traditional herbal medicines. However, there is perceived neglect of the core principles of health care ethics by the practitioners and marketers of traditional herbal medicine in Nigeria. This is worrisome. In this connection, this paper argues that Nigerians will benefit immensely from traditional herbal medicine if its practitioners and marketers observe and respect these core principles of health care which includes the principles of beneficence, non-maleficence, autonomy, informed consent, justice, and truthfulness. This study is purely qualitative and adopts a textual critical analytic method.

Resumen

Traditional medicine refers to the knowledge, skills and practices based on the theories, beliefs and experiences indigenous to different cultures, used in the maintenance of health and in the prevention, diagnosis, improvement of physical and mental illness. Herbal treatments are the most form of traditional medicine and 70 – 80% of the African region has used a form as primary health care. There is little doubt that the use of herbal medicines is growing and one of the most problems found in medicinal plants is the absence of clinical, toxicological and pharmacological studies. Many African countries depend on herbal medicines because of their efficacy, affordability and availability. The future of African traditional medicine is bright if view in the context of service provision, increase of health care coverage, economic potential and poverty reduction. Formal recognition and integration of traditional medicine into conventional medicine would be of good advantage.

Resumen

The use of herbal medicinal products and supplements has increased enormously over the past three decades with not less than 80% of people globally depending on them for some part of primary healthcare. However, this might be the case in many Cities. This study seeks to determine. Household preference for traditional/herbal and modern medicine in Abuja, Nigeria. Cross-sectional data from the primary source was used for this study. Two hundred and twenty (220) individuals responded to the survey hence that constitutes the sample size used for the study. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data set. From the result, the mean age was 33.7 years. About 90.9% of the respondents in the study area had tertiary education. Most (60%) of the respondents were female in the study. Most (50%) of the respondents were civil servants and 58.63% of the respondents have a household size below 5 persons. 60% of the respondents prefer modern/contemporary drugs, 25.91% prefer traditional/local drugs, and 14.09% prefer to seek out spiritual prayers when they are sick. Dosage of traditional medicine cannot be regulated was the most ranked perception of the respondents. Most (55%) of the respondent posit that they were dizzy after taking traditional medicine. From the foregoing, it can be concluded that the usage of traditional medicine was still poor, as most of the households in the study posit that they preferred modern drugs. Majority of the respondent also opined that the dosage of traditional drugs could not be properly regulated. Traditional drugs had negative side effects including heavy dizziness, purging among others. Based on the findings of the study, it is therefore recommended that training and re-training be done for the producers of traditional medicine on how to better prescribe the necessary dosage per time. It is also recommended that an advocacy campaign be carried out to encourage patronage of locally produced herbs given that some of the imported or foreign drugs are made from herbs as well.

Resumen

Studies and documentation on the current knowledge and practices of traditional medicine among African communities are lacking particularly in this era of modern health care expansion. This study aimed at assessing the knowledge, attitude and practice of traditional medicine in Jos South Local Government Area (LGA) of Plateau State, Nigeria. A systemic random sampling technique was employed for this study. A semi-structured open and closed ended questionnaire was used to collect data through house to house interview among 300 participants identified for the study. The data was then analysed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) Version 20.0 (Chicago, SPSS Inc.). The studies revealed two hundred and seventy four (94.8%) have heard about traditional medicine, while two hundred and forty two (83.7%) of them have used traditional medicine once or more in their life time, especially for the treatment of malaria and fever. One hundred and eleven (38.4%) of the respondents preferred using both traditional and modern medicine. The prevalence of Traditional Medicine patronage in Jos South LGA, Plateau state is high and this may be related to the socio-cultural acceptability, easy accessibility, and affordability of Traditional Medicine.

Resumen

Traditional medicines are commonly used in Africa. About 13.2–82.3% of the population use traditional eye medicine. The aim of this study was to assess practice and associated factors among adult residents towards traditional eye medicine in Gondar city, North West Ethiopia. Methods. A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted on 600 participants by using a pretested structured questionnaire. Data were analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20 computer software. Association and strength between dependent and independent variables were determined using odds ratio with a 95% confidence interval. Results. A total of 600 respondents participated in the study with a 95 % response rate. From the total study participants, 73 (12.2%) (95% CI: 10–15%) had used traditional eye medicine in the past two years. Variables such as being unmarried (AOR = 0.48 (95% CI: 0.17–0.83)), being illiterate (AOR = 5.40 (95% CI: 5.3–12.3)), living in traditional healers available area (AOR = 2.84 (95% CI: 1.44–7.56)), poor access to modern eye care services (AOR = 2.11 (95% CI: 1.06–4.19)), and positive family history of traditional eye medicine use (AOR = 4.00 (95% CI: 1.84–8.67)) were significantly associated with traditional eye medicine practice. Conclusion. The proportion of traditional eye medicine practice was low in the past two years in Gondar city, Ethiopia, as compared to most African and Asian studies like south East Nigeria and Nepal, respectively. This may be due to the presence of tertiary eye care centers in the city that lets the residents prefer modern eye medicines over traditional eye medicines. Positive family history of traditional eye medicine use, being unmarried, being illiterate, poor access to modern eye care service, and availability of traditional healers had a significant association with the practice of traditional eye medicine. Community awareness about traditional eye medicine use is important to reduce the risk of complications even if the proportion is low.

Resumen

Traditional, complementary and alternative medicine (TCAM) refers to a set of healthcare practices (indigenous or imported) that are delivered outside of the mainstream (orthodox) healthcare system. The broad objective of this study was to investigate the use of traditional medicine in the treatment of ailments among aged people in Ughelli Community of Delta State, Nigeria. The study comprised of 241 subjects (121 males and 120 females) of about 40+ years who were resident in Ughelli community. First, a self-administered, open and close questionnaire was carefully structured, validated and issued to a cross section of selected subjects from within the study area. The instrument obtained the socio-demographic records of the subjects, alongside their knowledge on traditional medicine, attitudes towards, as well as practices towards traditional medicine. Information on the source, benefit, adverse effects and frequently used traditional medicines were also collected from participants, while leaving them with multiple responses in the open-ended questions. Following data collection, Results were subjected through the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS version 25), using the Chi-square test at a 95% confidence interval. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was also used to compare the differences in means between groups, while setting a p value less than 0.05 as statistically significant. From our observation, an average of 98 subjects strongly agreed to their knowledge of the effectiveness of traditional medicines in the treatments of ailments. This number was of significant increase in comparison with about 76 subjects who were not sure in their response on the effectiveness of traditional medicines over orthodox in the study area. In addition, this negates the total number of sampled respondents (15%) who posited to disagree in support of the non-effectiveness of traditional medicines over its effectiveness. Also, a great percentage (36%) responses agreed that drinking is a far effecting and popular route of administering traditional medicines than others, while about 27% strongly agreed to this; even though a greater proportion of responses were not sure of the topical routes of applying traditional medicines.

Resumen

Nature has provided us with materials that are good sources of medicine. These materials derived from nature have been used by different societies across the world for treatment of various diseases.For example, plants,animalsand minerals substanceshave been extracted and prepared in various forms for treatment of diseases. Researches concerning the use of animals and their derivatives in traditioanal medicine has received very little attention, especially in the Northern Nigeria. Sokoto state is blessed with rich faunal resources yet the number of researches with regards to medicinal animals is very negligible compared to that of plants. With rapid increase in the population of our polygamous society (especially in the rural areas) which often find it difficult to access modern health care facilities, there is the need for complimentary folk medicine that would support local health care system. In the light of the above,animals / animal products used in traditional medicine by the indigenous people of Sokoto have been identified and documented through the use of unstructured questionnaire as the main instruments used for data collection. Six hundred (600) questionnaires were distributed to the surveyed population from different parts of the state. They include: herbalists, hunters, barbers, bone-setters, traditional mid-wives and fishermen. Percentage frequency and percentage fidelity level were used for data analysis. From the survey, twenty two (22) species of animals were found to be of medicinal value. Diseases such as rashes, toothache, nightblindness, mumps, cabuncle epistaxis, yellow fever, eczema, gastrointestinal disorders were found to be curable using these animals or their derivatives.Keywords: Traditionl Healing, Zootherapy, Zootherapeutics, Ethnozoology

Resumen

Decline in vulture populations have seriously reported in Nigeria as in other habits around the world. Human pressure from poisoning, hunting and trading for traditional medicine are key factors leading to decline of vulture population in northern Nigeria. This study examines vulture trading for traditional medicine as risk factor for the raptors population decline in Katsina with a view to providing baseline information for reviewing conservation policies in the State and Nigeria at large. The study is a survey research involving questionnaire administration and interview of seventy two stakeholders who were sampled using snowball sampling technique as follows: vulture stall owners (n=58) and abattoir employees (n=10) and traditional healers (n= 4). A total of five locations were surveyed based on the understanding that they possess the most specialized fetish markets and important centres of vulture trading in Katsina State. Percentage and mean were used for data analysis. The study found that trading of vulture is proliferating in the area as more than 50% of the stalls were opened between 2016 and 2019. It also revealed that 80% of the fetish stalls are located outside Katsina town for fear of authorities fighting illicit trade of vulture. Also revealed was that prices of vulture vary in space and depend on relationships with customers: a whole vulture costs N21000 (ca. $55.55) which soars as high as N27000 (ca. $75) outside Katsina town and N30000 (ca. $83) in times of scarcity. This study recommended that there is the need to carry out nationwide comprehensive assessment of trade in avifauna for improving conservation policies and practices in Nigeria.

Resumen

Background and context: Breast cancer is the most common cancer among Nigerian women, mostly aged 35 years and older. The survival rate of breast cancer patient in northern Nigeria is 40% and below as compared with that of developed countries at 95% and above. The rising incidence of breast cancer in northern Nigeria is complicated, mainly due to cultural beliefs for incision by traditional rulers, poverty, illiteracy and fear of high cost of treatment. Aim: Breast cancer is the most common cancer among Nigerian women, mostly aged 35 years and older. The survival rate of breast cancer patient in northern Nigeria is 40% and below as compared with that of developed countries at 95% and above. The rising incidence of breast cancer in northern Nigeria is complicated, mainly due to cultural beliefs for incision by traditional rulers, poverty, illiteracy and fear of high cost of treatment. Strategy/Tactics: We made contact with two tertiary health facilities in Kebbi state to determine the baseline prevalence of stage 3 and 4 breast cancer in the hospitals. Organized cancer sensitization workshops for religious bodies to incorporate breast cancer awareness into sermons and also capacity building for nurses and traditional healers. Engaged the media through delivery of radio and television jingles on dangers of refusing medical care and also telling the stories of cancer survivors to enable the populace to be strong and brave to take charge of their health and quality of life. Program/Policy process: The entire communities were carried along. Tertiary health facilities provided support in giving access to relevant data. Permission from local government chairmen were sorted to interact with members of the communities. The general public were engaged through media. Outcomes: There was 30% increase in percentage of male participation especially spouses in encouraging women to seek appropriate help for breast cancer. Traditional healers and religious leaders had a positive impact in sensitizing women on need to attend hospitals for any breast changes early so as to reduce the incidence of late detected cases. They also alleviated avenues of stigmatization among the populace. Survivors were able to tell their stories via various media channels. What was learned: Majority of the target population lack access to basic health care. They patronize unorthodox medicine rather than clinical medicine. Cancer education and advocacy made a huge difference in health care perspective of this population. There is great need for continued cancer education and awareness to improve patients' survival and quality of life.

Resumen

Neem Azadirachta indica is a useful traditional medicinal plant growing in Nigeria, India, and America. The phytochemicals and the biopesticidal components present were ascertained. The results showed that saponins, steroids and terpenes were mostly present, while tannins and glycosides were moderately present, and alkaloids, flavonoids, phenols and oxalic acid were least present. The presence of these phytochemical could account for the therapeutic uses of neem.

Many patients in Nigeria consult traditional healers before, or in parallel with, modern psychiatric services. Part of the attraction of traditional medicine for the populace, apart from its lower cost and easier accessibility, may lie in its ‘cultural’ explanatory concepts of the nature and course of mental disorder.

Resumen

Utilization of animal wildlife and their by-products by farmers in Nigeria, as confirmed by this survey, is for cultural and religious ceremonies and traditional medicine. The pattern of consumption of wild animals depends on what species are available in different ecological zones. In traditional medicine, some wildlife by-products are acceptable nation-wide, while in religion, farmers are very selective — especially the Muslims. Culturally, utilization is largely by tribal and ethnic background. In the installation of traditional rulers and in performing traditional rites, some specific wild animals and their byproducts must be sacrificed.Wild animals are so vital to the rural people that adequate consideration must be given to maintaining wildlife habitats when rural development projects are planned. This is especially important when these projects involve major land-use changes or modification of traditional agricultural practices. Much of the small mammal, bird, and reptile, habitat is comprised of small wild patches, marshes, or narrow riparian strips, which can easily be destroyed by short-sighted activities. This wildlife is a valuable renewable resource which can continue to produce benefits only if adequate habitats and protection are available.

Resumen

Medicinal plants have aided in the establishment and expansion of the modern healthcare system. Plants with medicinal potential are still the only way forward, as their acceptance and recognition spread over the globe. Ethnobotany is an interdisciplinary field that studies how people use plants in their daily lives. Nigeria accounted for roughly 20% of Africa's population and slightly more than half of West Africa's projected 681,000 new cancer cases in 2008, accounting for roughly 20% of the continent's population and slightly more than half of West Africa's. For pharmaceutical exploration and conservation, it is important to document the use of medicinal plants in a specific region across time. The study's goal was to find out which plants were used to treat Cancer in Mubi, Northern eastern part of Nigeria. An open ended interview was employed with no sampling size selection. Used Value (UV), Fidelity level (FL) and Relative frequency of citation (RFC) were used to determine the most important and effective plants used for treatment of cancer. Ten plants were documented with Neolamarckia cadamba has 0.9, 1 and 100 % of UV, RFC and FL, respectively. The study will serve as a foundation for subsequent research into developing natural medicine or modern medications to prevent the extinction of the species.

Resumen

Objectives: A comprehensive survey with the aim of documenting traditional medicinal practices was carried out in targeted areas of Ibadan, Nigeria in order to inventory plants used by traditional healers in the area for the management of diabetes. Materials and Methods: Open-ended informal interviews were administered during series of repeated visits to the respondents consisting majorly the traditional medical practitioners (TMPs) and herb sellers. Some traditional healers who know and use medicinal plants for treating diabetes mellitus were interviewed. The inventory contains scientifi c, vernacular, common names of the plants used and methods of preparation. Results: Twenty seven plants commonly used by traditional healers in the region were identifi ed. These plants were found to be very important and useful in the treatment of diabetes based on their frequency of occurrence in the recipes obtained. Herbal remedies were either prepared from dried or freshly collected plants while traditional solvent of choice included water, lime, local gin and aqueous extract from fermented maize. Decoction and pulverization were the main methods of preparation while mode of administration varies within 1 to 3 times daily. Survey revealed that leaves form the major part of plants for herbal preparations. Residents in the study area fi nd traditional medicine cheaper as compared to orthodox medicine. Conclusion: This review focuses on the various plants that have been reported to be effective in the treatment of diabetes. The survey shows that plants from the Rubiaceae, Labiataceae, Meliaceae, Hypoxidaceae and Cucurbitaceae families are commonly used by traditional healers in Ibadan for the treatment of diabetes mellitus.

Resumen

Abstract Research background: The traditional function ascribed to a modern financial institution is to mobilize resources among the two units (surplus and deficit) of the economy. This can be achieved when financial institutions wake up to this responsibility and act as the pillar upon which other institutions can rely on. Purpose: This study examined the impact of bond market development on the growth of the Nigerian economy from 1986–2018. Research methodology: Data were analysed using the co-integration bounds test approach while the robustness of the estimates was also checked. Results: Government bond exhibited an insignificant positive relationship; corporate bond and value of bond traded were positive and statistically significant (prob. <0.05) while bond yield indicated a negative relationship with the growth of the Nigerian economy. Novelty: The study found that corporate bond and the value of bond traded were the major variables that increased the depth of bond market development in Nigeria. Therefore, policymakers in Nigeria should encourage the issuance of more corporate bonds to further enhance the efficiency of bond markets development.

Resumen

The present article describes the traditional cowpea cropping system in Dambatta, Kano State, Nigeria. Through a baseline survey it becomes clear that traditionally cowpea is mostly intercropped with cereals, that the importance of land preparation is marginal, that yields are low and that, in general, the technical level of the cowpea grower is low (low inputs of fertilizer and pesticide). In a second part some data are given about a project that introduced a new cowpea variety, T.V.X. – 3,236, and improved methods. It is shown that, although better yields are possible, the extension service does not succeed in motivating the farmers enough so that the outcome of the project intervention is uncertain.

Resumen

The present study presents an ethnobotanical survey of the plants used in the treatment of mosquito transmitted diseases in Egbeda, Oluyole, Ibadan South-East and Akinyele, Local Government Areas in Oyo State, Southwest Nigeria. The survey was conducted through interviews using semi structured questionnaires. Twenty-four respondents, comprising of Traditional Medicine Practitioners (TMPs), herbalists, herb sellers, and the elderly were interviewed. Fourteen (58.3%) of them were males while ten (41.7%) were females and their ages ranged from 28 to 65 years. The Use-Mentions index (UMi) was calculated for each plant. Thirty-seven plant species belonging to 25 families were found to be useful for the treatment of mosquito transmitted diseases in the study areas. Ethno-medicinal information gathered on the plants includes vernacular names, plant parts used, forms of application and method of administration. The most prominent plant family is Euphorbiaceae with four species, while Lamiaceae, Fabaceae, Meliaceae had three species each. Other plant families include Apocynaceae, Combretaceae, Cucurbitaceae, Asteraceae with two species each. In all, the commonest species among the recipes given by the respondents was Hyptis suaveolens having a UMi of 0.250. Ocimum gratissimum, Xylopia aethiopica, Chromolaena odorata, and Nicotiana tabacum all had UMi of 0.167each. The study plays an important role in documenting and conserving traditional knowledge on medicinal plants used in treating insect transmitted diseases.

Resumen

For ages, medicinal plants play a significant role in the effective, affordable, and safe healthcare system. Medicinal plants continue to play an important role in Nigeria's healthcare system, which serves more than 70% of the country's population. For pharmaceutical exploration and conservation, it is important to document the use of medicinal plants in a specific region across time. The study's goal was to find out which plants were used to treat typhoid illness in Kaduna state. The in-depth interview guide was utilized in conjunction with an expert method and non-random probability sampling. The study discovered and recorded 31 plant species from 25 families that are used by Kaduna residents to cure typhoid diseases. Plants with a 0.45 value of relative frequency citation were documented. The highest relative frequency of citation (0.9) and fidelity level (90%) are found in Garcinia mangostana, Senna alata, Moringa oleifera, and Hibiscus sabdariffa, respectively. In Nigeria, traditional medicinal knowledge is guarded by elderly people. The study discovered plant species that could be used as a potential source of anti typhoid in Nigeria.

Resumen

AbstractUndoubtedly, Nigeria is the most populous country in Africa with about 400 ethnic groups and languages. There is a double burden of disease with rising incidence and prevalence of diabetes mellitus. World Health statistics indicate that Nigeria has the highest number of diabetics in sub-Saharan Africa. In spite of advances in diabetes care and facilities, desired outcomes are not good and linked to this, patient satisfaction is not optimal. Reasons include inadequate attention to biological aspects of diabetes, inadequate or inappropriate pharmacology and psycho-socio-cultural factors. In this review, crucial socio-cultural factors in Nigeria include traditional medicine, religion, diet, physical activity patterns, foot care, awareness, and stress management. Diabetes programs in Nigeria should adopt the principles of education and psycho-social support highlighted by the DAWN study, integrating our socio-cultural heritage, empowering individuals to take charge of their diabetes and achieve desired health outcomes. Religion should be explored as a potential tool to reach out on facts whilst doing away with erroneous beliefs about diabetes mellitus.

Resumen

The pyhtochemical constituents of butanol and acid leaf extracts of eleven (11) plant species from three different families (Annonaceae, Apocynaceae and Euphorbiaceae) obtained from various locations in eastern and southern Nigeria were made following standard techniques. Results obtained show that the leaf extracts contain alkaloids, flavonoids and saponins. This paper provides evidence that alcoholic and acid leaf extract of the selected plant species studied contains medicinally important metabolites that justifies their usage as traditional medicine for treatment of various ailments.Keywords: Tropical plants, Phytochemicals, Ethno-medicine, Extracts

Resumen

Abstract Several programmes by government and non-governmental organisations aimed at improving maternal health in many sub-Saharan African nations have not achieved significant results. Use of traditional maternal care services has been identified as still prevalent and thus a possible factor. This study investigated determinants of use of traditional birth services (tbs s) among patrons in tbs-inclined communities of Nigeria and Ghana. A total of 180 and 160 patrons of tbs s were selected from the respective countries, using a multi-stage procedure. The most utilised tbs s include home delivery, concoctions/herbs and family planning. Educational level, constraints to using conventional services, income, and perceived social and economic advantages significantly influenced utilisation. Patrons in Nigeria had better perceived relative advantages of tbs than Ghana, while the accessibility of conventional maternal services, performance rating and overall utilisation of tbs s did not differ significantly between the two countries. Social bonds and economic status were the main reasons for continued patronage of tbs s.

Resumen

A pilot study is presented as an attempt to modify the traditional method of preparing maize gruel ‘ogi’ the most popular weaning diet in Nigeria. The modification consists of completely grinding the food to a fine paste without sieving. Cooked samples of the unsieved maize gruel were taken for proximate chemical analysis and organoleptical evaluation. Analysis revealed that protein, fat and mineral losses in the unsieved maize gruel were much less. The majority (58%) of mothers of malnourished children rated the cooked modified maize gruel favourably and the overall acceptability was positively rated by 61%. The inference to be drawn is that through food demonstrations and nutritional health information at the nursing mothers' level, the traditional method of preparing the most popular weaning diet in Nigeria can be modified to advantage.
