Herbal remedies are greatly helping Africans and herbalists both culturally and economically as the African economy is becoming increasingly dependent on native, African herbs. The number of patients seeking alternative and herbal therapy is growing exponentially. Herbal medicines are now in great demand in the developing world for primary health care not because they are inexpensive but also for better cultural acceptability, better compatibility with the human body, and minimal side effects. According to the World Health Organisation, 60% of the world’s population relies on herbal medicine and about 80% of the population of developing countries rely on it completely.
      As time evolves, more and more people will get to know and appreciate the usefulness of herbal remedies. Increased research is being conducted on these herbs to justify their curing abilities. Studies are currently being made to uncover the curing abilities of Morinda Lucida and African basil. The study titled “Screening of Some Medicinal Plants Used in South-West Nigerian Traditional Medicine for Anti-Salmonella typhi Activity” by Journal of Herbal Pharmacotherapy found that extracts of Morinda lucida and Ocimum gratissimum were active against MDR S. typhi. This scientific breakthrough paves the way for more discovery. 
      More remedies are likely to be uncovered as traditional families work together to better their countries and communities. Although diseases like Typhoid, Covid-19, and Malaria are already established as cured in Africa, the herbs used for these medicines will be gradually refined into bulk packaged goods. These herbs might also be used to cure other viral infections and diseases dominant in Africa such as influenza and measles. 
      The declination and extinction of certain plants however might prevent herbal remedies from advancing. Due to climate change and human activities like logging, deforestation from agriculture, and mining, one-third of — or more 7,000 — plant species in tropical Africa could be at risk of extinction.
      If these activities are controlled, herbal remedies could greatly impact the world and the way diseases are cured. Herbal remedies will introduce the spiritual aspect of curing diseases. Having a connection with the herbs is a way they are believed to be cured. Believing, according to herbalists, is a key factor
