Asiwaju Elegboogi Herbal Therapy, an alternative medical center with a difference, is determined to take the use of herbal mixtures for medical care to the next level, the founder, Babatunde Badmus has said.
Badmus, a graduate of the University of Ibadan, stated this during a press conference held in Ibadan on Sunday.
According to him, his herbal center is different from others because he integrates orthodox medicinal practice into the treatment process.
“We are not a roadside alagbo,” Badmus began. “We don’t just combine herbs, we do laboratory analysis on them and get toxicology reports.”
“Aside from that, we have a serene environment where we have machines that produce everything. Apart from that because of our exposure, because we have traveled far and wide, we have an in depth understanding of how things work in other parts of the world.
“For example, when a patient comes to us to complain of low sperm count, we tell them to do a sperm analysis test and bring the result. When they do the test, what led to the low sperm count will show. It will tell us the morphology of the sperm and this would guide us on the herb to prescribe. But how many Alagbo know about that?,” he asked rhetorically.
Speaking further, the founder, who learnt the practice of herbal treatment from his late Grandmother for 10 years, noted that his decision to create the centre a little over a year ago was incidental.
“In 2014, I met a woman at Sky bank in Bodija. She wanted to have the operation because she had Fibroid and was asked to bring about N200,000. I overheard her and told her that if it is fibroid operation that she wants to do, she should not because after 5 years, it would regrow. I told her that there are certain herbs that I can recommend and if she used them, she would be fine.
“We didn’t exchange contact because she thought I was a 419. But fortunately for her she used it. I saw her back in March 2020 and she already has two children. She was the one that called me. She then told me that even though she didn’t know my profession, herbal treatment is my profession.”
Meanwhile, the founder has revealed that the Centre would soon commence the treatment of 100 people battling with diabetes free of charge.
He added that registration starts from 20th December to 31st December 2021 at their office opposite Sango Police Station, Ibadan.
“In the first phase of the treatment, they would register and collect the first dose. After three weeks, they would come for the second dose. The treatment would last for three months and we are very sure that by the end they have been fully cured,” he added
