Who could think of Southern Africa without conjuring up visions of abundant nature, vast landscapes and rich biodiversity? As a result, this region has long been a treasure trove of herbal remedies.
The knowledge of indigenous communities and their reliance on nature has had a significant impact on modern communities living in Southern Africa, seen greatly in how we use herbs to treat various ailments.
