Health Expert Warns Against Excessive Consumption Of Herbs
A medical expert, Dr Stephen Aderemi of the University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital (UITH), has cautioned people against too much intake of locally prepared herbs to avoid causing grave damage to their health.
Herbs are plants with aromatic properties used for either medicinal purposes, flavouring food, or as fragrances.
According to Aderemi not all the plants reported to be useful were harmless.
The doctor added that, if plants are taken without adequate knowledge of prescription, they can cause kidney and liver dysfunction or even death in some cases.
