Image
African Plants and Food as Medicine: What Modern Research Is Revealing In many parts of Africa, traditional medicine remains central to daily life. According to the World Health Organization, up to 80 percent of people in some African countries rely on traditional medicine for primary healthcare needs. Far from being a relic of the past, plant-based knowledge systems continue to shape community health practices across the continent.
