NNMDA has developed scent leaf-based tea for management of diabetes
The increase in the incidence of diabetes both globally and nationally has become worrisome, especially in Nigeria, owing to the peculiarity of her peoples’ poor attitude to health, poor health infrastructure, poverty level and demographic crises in the face of a rapidly rising population. The implication of this is that Nigerians must, as soon as possible, look deeper into nature to seek solutions to this public health menace.
Considering the high cost of conventional drugs, attendant side effects and complications, are there natural cures? NNMDA’s Ocimun Herbal Tea is developed by the agency for the management of diabetes mellitus. It is a combination of indigenous medicinal plants that have exhibited hypoglycemic and antioxidant properties from preliminary investigations. It can be used as a baseline for self-regulation of diabetes. From the basic research work and safety analysis conducted on the product, it possesses some phytochemicals that are effective in reducing blood sugar level and is also safe for consumption.
It is easier to scientifically put them together. All of us take tea; we have different types of tea in stores and everywhere. If we form the habit of using natural products, it’s cheaper, simpler, effective and safe. You have an advantage in using natural medicine over our known pharmaceutical products. Some of the natural products help to build up the different organs. They induce immunity, which is needed to take care of other diseases in the system. Those are the solutions we provided.
Most of the drugs you’ve seen produced from herbs are from what you use on daily basis. They are foods; they already have the capacity that aligns with your body system. The possibility of having very severe side effects are very minimal and they also have a way to build up and strengthen the body organs that eliminate the outcome of metabolism of the drug in your system. The challenge of orthodox medicine is that some of them actually affect your organs, especially the kidney.
