To Whom it may Concern



COVID-19



A Traditional African Medicine Approach




Introduction 
In African traditional medical science, disease is as a result of imbalance in the naturally existing temperament of the mind, system, organs and tissues of the human body.

This temperament is referred to as the level of heat and cold naturally existing in a living creature.
Looking at the current pandemic caused by the corona virus, from the perspective of the African traditional medicine practitioner we can classify the ailment caused by it as Mura.

Mura is anything from a mild cold with runny nose to some serious upper respiratory ailment like bronchitis.
In so much as the world has left it as Covid-19, a pathogen, an ailment.

This is a summary to bring to fore the possibilities in treating this and other ailments we are plagued with.
Sababi (Cause)
Zafi Mai Danshi (Heat with Dampness or Damp Heat)

From symptoms known so far, the causative factor can be described as having a temperament of Zafi mai Danshi [heat with dampness]

Gabban farko da ya shafa [parts of the body first affected] 
Hanchi da Makogaro (Nose [Sinuses] and Throat), these have a temperament of Sanyi mai Danshi (Cold with Dampness). This explains why the causative pathogen incubates for a period of time until the heat level changes to Zafi kenkeshesshe (Heat with Dryness, Hot Dry or Dry Heat). As the pathogen approaches this state, it causes discomforts which could include itching, swelling and pain in the sinus and throat area.

At this point, the pathogen having become Zafi Kenkeshesshe (Dry Heat) is set to cause relatively serious damage to the lungs and digestive tract which are both cold and damp in temperament, this explains why all of a sudden, the host becomes very sick.
Gabbobin da zai sake shafa (secondary organs it will affect)
Here, we are dealing with Mura Kenkeshesshe and Basir Syndrome (a combination of upper respiratory tract infections and unhealthy colon disease at the same time).
These preventive and Treatment protocols are based on The Temperamental Theory, The Understanding of the Body, Sickness and Medicine in the eyes of the African Traditional Medicine Practitioner, using whole plant for treatment and not on Herbal medicine or active ingredients theory.

 

Kariya (Prevention)
The herbs with appropriate temperament that are used in the treatment of Mura mai sababin zafi when used as tea or a decoction would help in the prevention and initial treatment of suspected cases.
Sirache (Steaming) with herbs that carry the correct temperament will also be of immense value to treatment and recovery.

Magani (Treament)
This will depend on the stage of the ailment, as there has to be a temperamental balance of the herbs used to match the stage and organs most affected.
The general health history of the patient will be of importance here, with reference to some of the following.
Allergic to ginger or garlic

Hawan Jin [Hypertensive]

Chiwon Sugar [Diabetic]  

Shawara [Hepatitis]

Basir [unhealthy Colon]
And more as these will inform the combination of herbs.
Some General Preparations for Prevention and Treatment of Suspected Cases.
Sirache

  1. Ganyen Tulare (Eucalyptus leaf)
  2. Thyme and Lemon Grass



Kurkura (Gargle)

  1. Decoction made from Na’na (Mint Leaf)
  2. Decoction made from Ganyen Tulare  



Sha (Ingest)

  1. Kurkur (Tumeric), Chitta (Ginger), Tafranuwa (Garlic), Albasa (Onion) make smooth paste add honey. Dosage: 2 tablespoon per adult and 1 per child 12 years and below. Mix ratio 1/2:1:2:1

  1. Rosemary, Mint, Fannel make decoction mix ratio 25 leaves: Hand full: 2 tea spoon to 50cl of water bring to boil, simmer for 3 mins, cool and drink 25cl x 2 daily, 12.5cl for under 12

THESE DOSES MAY VARY WITH ACUTENESS OF AILMENT


These preparations will treat a variety of respiratory tract ailments.


Traditional Medicine Practitioners [TMPs] using the temperamental theory would use a wide variety of leaves, tree barks and roots in single or multiple herb combinations to achieve the same results.


We are open to questions.
