Firstly, i must say its Been a long while here at the wellness community 
Life challenges and some engagements all taking my time. Before now I've posted some great cotents in this community.
Being an African has opened my eyes into many herbal remedies, these i grew up with i mean before civilization and invention of industrial medicines.
- while growing up with my grandparents, ginger, garlics,bitter leaf,cotton leaf,scent leaf are some of the herbal medicines we cannot do without, i call it our first aid then, from flu, to fever & malaria, typhoid fever,stomach disorder and sugar regulations all these plants provides cure to the mentioned illness.
While I've grown up now i still find a way of surrounding myself with this herbs as their importance cannot be overemphasized.
- Time to time I keep fresh ginger and blended ginger at home & garlic, turmeric as it is my first aid for flu.
Its also form parts of my ingredients for cooking, dont forget apart from working for some flu, ginger can also be used to burn some calories of fat,regulates blood sugar and also use to spice up food.
- Another thing i did is to plant some herbs at my garden, so that it can be easily accessed if i need to, rich herbal plants like cotton leaf,bitter leaf and scent leaf.
And just like a friend came to me today, who's having fever to ask for some cotton leaf, i pluck some for him and told him the usage so also the rest of the neighborhood.
I'd advice you'all to start planting these herbs in your garden so you could benefit.
