LOH Community Contest #201— GETTING BACK ON MY FEET

Recently, modern drugs no longer cure nor heal diseases but rather subsides the adverse effect of the illness and at the same time causes another problem in the human body/system. Imagine the constant occurrence of malaria and typhoid despite the numerous drugs prescribed and administered to patients on a daily basis yet we still complain of malaria after a certain period of time, apparently those medications just subsides the effect of the disease for a certain period of time . Another instance is the constant intake of pain-relieving tablets during those severe session of body pains, of course the pains would go for a short while but can't be healed forever, it will still come back and in some cases like that of my dad (may his soul rest in peace )it affects the functionality of the kidney which would lead to other serious complications .

Now the deal is after sounding this way about the modern drugs, how do you cope or how do you combat sickness ?
There's peace in nature. Whenever I fall sick I automatically become a typical African lady who values every greenish leaf she sees and is advised of its usefulness to health .
Let's take malaria for instance. The routine is simple: cook a mixture of paw paw leaf, moringa leaf, limes, unripe pineapple, lemon grass, guava leaf . Then drink twice a day
That is very early in the morning before you eat and the same thing in the evening before having dinner .
Another scenario is headache. If I am suffering a severe headache I drink warm water and I'll be fine .

And it's amazing how I never get sick or diagnosed of any outrageous sickness because honestly I hate drugs.
