The problem with traditional medicine is that it is closely tied with spiritual and supernatural practices, these are not scientific and cannot go hand in hand with science, you will see someone prescribing a concoction made from a certain tree bark but for it to work you have to make a certain chant, or take it facing mt.kenya, or after having sex with your wife. If we can take a scientific approach then i think there is potential, but it's difficult, even chinese medicine has spiritual/supernatural elements.
Wat's wrong with drinking concoction facing mt kenya or wen having sex with my wife as long as I will get healed;)

True bro, I am not an expert or an old geezer, but I am headed there anyhow, but I can mix a cocktail of concoctions for various kind of ailments. That is something my Dad has taught me since I was like 12 years. Hiyo strain ya Melia Azidirachta is very bitter but worth it. Kwanza ukichanganya na barks za Olea Africanum(Mutamaiyo), na Prunus Africanum(Muirii), which by the way long time ago a kilo was going for 400 Bob. Alafu uchanganye na Mibuthii... Na mizizi kidogo ya Croton macrostichus(mukinduri)... Ongezea bones za supuu kadhaa alafu you garnish :D with Kiruma... Or mugwa nugu(ALOE) Weueee Kuna magonjwa yatakua Yana keti - - - - - - - - - >>>>> Pale.

There has been several attempts to mass produce and market African traditional herbs for various ailments
Murugu/Makini herbal clinics etc, But they all fail because the vast majority of Africans have no faith in African traditional herbs
because they are....African. "Vitu kama dawa hutengenezwa na wazungu" period.
Wale watu walikuwa wanaitwa GNLD (or something like that) what happened to them?
