Why is it important?
Our results revealed that the most preferred method of preparation by the healers is concoction and decoction of fresh leaves, stem bark, and roots. However, for emergency sake, some healers dried these plant parts, ground to smooth powder and packaged in brown bottles or in nylon which is either sold or given to people but must be soaked in cold or warm water before use.
Perspectives
