I may not come from Asia, I'm an African but one thing we don't joke about as an afircan is the indigenous or local medicines.
Alot of africans maybe in time past don't like the industrial medicines like my grandpa will call them 'white chalk' so they came up with this ayurvedic medicine which consist of turmeric,garlic,ginger, and all.
Whether its the modern industrial medicine or traditional medicine that works better, what i know is that it has to be people's choice and whatever they believed in.
What am saying is that People got their healings in whatever they believed in, and thats not a problem. I don't joke with the traditional medicines, same way i take my industrial pills as prescribed by a medical doctors.
It is important to note that some vegetables and fruits are also good for the body which could also prevent diseases. So while shopping for they ayurvedic, you can also shop for these veggies and fruits and thats why most times all these are sold together by the same seller.
- being a way for a while and finally i got to stock up my house again with the garlic,ginger and turmeric, not only do they serve as my first aid, they also serve as recipes for my meals.
I got some fresh ginger and turmeric, so also did i buy the blended ones, it come with different usages. The blended ones are stored in a container and sealed to avoid any contaminations.
