He explained that herbal medicine offers a holistic approach to health, using natural plants and extracts to prevent, manage, reverse and treat various ailments.

Adelakun remarked:

“Herbal medicine taps into the healing properties inherent in nature.
“It works in harmony with the body to restore balance and promote overall well-being”

Adelakun pointed out several advantages of herbal remedies. One key benefit is the use of natural ingredients, which reduces the risk of synthetic side effects commonly associated with conventional medications.

Additionally, he said herbal medicine promotes holistic healing by addressing the root causes of ailments rather than merely alleviating symptoms.

"It is also more affordable and accessible, especially in areas where traditional healthcare options may be scarce or expensive.
"Herbal remedies are also deeply embedded in cultural practices, making them a trusted choice in many communities.
"Moreover, many herbal practices emphasise sustainability, with environmentally responsible harvesting methods ensuring that natural resources are preserved for future generations."
