The Dairy Game: Using Natural Herbs To Treat Malaria(05-08-2025)

Hello besties, how are you doing? It's been a day for me, another rainy day in my area but I had to carry out the plans I had for the day. Oh, sorry guys, I am Gracia Ukoh but bears @gracewealth01 here on Steemit. I am a newcomer on the platform and a committed one at that.

I had planned to pay my mom a visit since last weekend but couldn't actualize it. Earlier today when I woke up, I had to execute the plans. I cleaned up my residence, had my bath, got dressed and journeyed off to my village. It wasn't up to 5:30am when I left my house, I had informed my mom already of my coming and she even advised I come very early so we could do whatever we wanted very early before she set out for her business. I arrived at my mom's place before 7:30am and it was drizzling when I got there, I was welcomed by our last born and mom and without waste of time I was sent to the nearby bush in search of a plant

Those of you who follows my blog closely will know know I was down in health some weeks back and I informed my mom late about it. She suggested that I come down to the village so I could be treated in a native way using natural leaves and plants. I set out to the bush with my sister in search of a plant called mbri itém in my dialect, too bad I don't know it's English name. When I got to the bush, I found the plant easily with the help of my sister and I cut a lot of it

^{found the plant}

They were not in the same place though so I I still went on to search h for more so it would be enough for the purpose it was about to serve. When I was satisfied with the quantity I got, I arranged them, bundled it up, carried it on my head and went home with my sister. On getting home, my mom even complained that it won't be enough. I couldn't go back to the bush under the rain again do I suggested we managed it but she refused and sent me back to get more.

I was asked to grind them when I got home, I washed and peeled it and pound the useful part of it. Just then, I realized the first set I brought won't have been enough because after peeling it, the other part was very little and it the outer layer that makes it look big. It's been long since I last did something like this and it was all looking strange in my eyes.

^{the result after pounding}

Water was added to it and well mixed, I extracted the juice later. I thought I was to drink it but luckily, I wasn't because just the sight of it almost made me to throw up. My mom added some things to it which I do not know what it was and I was asked to pump my stomach with it.

^{the extract}

I took it to the bathroom and did exactly as I was told, I felt the calmness in my body after pumping my stomach and began to sweat profusely some minutes after. Nature is the way but we neglect or take it for granted most times. Thanks besties for reading my blog today, hope to see you on the next one.
