4.3 DISCUSSION
The plant kingdom has made itself available for
man’s consumption and improvement. Therefore, we have to take care of plants so
as to sustain us during this period of good quality, there is need to exercise
conation in taking advice on the usage of the medicine as they can cause
considerable damage especially to the liver.
Consumes are advised to confirm product
registration with NAFDAC and other
relevant agencies before patronizing such products. If in doubt consult your
healthcare, world health organization (WHO) for assessment of herbal remedies
WHO/TRM /ŋ/: 4. European pharmacopia.
Furthermore, without any doubt more effective
drugs are found here in our country. Our traditional healers deserve the proper
support and workshop from the government and the masses, the scientists, taxonomists, botanists and phytochemists who are better
equipped to handle more effectively and improve in our indigenous medicinal
practices should actually reach at the traditional healer to coped tap their
talents and potentials for the country and the world at large.
Apart from scientifically proven approaches,
holistic practioners strongly believe that the healthy human body is more than

April, 1992, that such situations, prayer can be of enormous help, especially
in those with religious faith (Ifrot why not) the result of this study showed
that angiospermous plants are more widely used in traditional medicine.
Dicotyledonous plants are widely used as account for almost 100% of the total plants
studied (table 1 figure). They are likely to contain more active chemical
ingredients than most other plants for the treatment of diseases and ailments.
Different parts of plant are used in traditional
medicine, leaves, roots, barks and fruits are used in one way or the other in
the treatment of diseases, several methods are used in the preparation of
traditional medicine. Most commonly used infusion and decoction (Keary, 1989).
The adiminsrtration is carried out in several ways, it could either be orally
taken or applied externally.
Roots of Carica
papaya (linn) are recommended for a particular ailment such as blood
pressure (H.B.P) for indigenous health care have been confirmed by many workers
to contain the active principles (Chancore
1939), scientific bases in traditional herbal healing using a name
of plant genera and specie Hibiscus
sabdariffa referred “Zobo” in annual herb that is cultivated for its leaves,
fleshy calpe, seeds or fibre.

COMPARISM OF RESULTS
WITH OTHER STUDIES
Information relating to medicinal plants and traditional
medicine can be found in documents and data bases aimed at readers in a wide
range of discipline including botany, ecology, chemistry, medicine veterinary
science. e.t.c however, there are few publications reporting current work or
severing and analyzing recent advance. Access to relevant information by the
public decision makers and local communities is still very limited.
The
convention on Biological Diversity, an international treaty that has been
signed by more than 160 member states of the united Nations provides an
international legal frame work for the conservation of biological diversity
materials. Medicines are used for primary health care needs. Between 25-50% of
modern drugs are derive from plants. Demand for medicinal plants is increasing
in both developing and developed countries.
