The World Health Organization recently released a statement revealing that medicinal plants, such as the one used in the tonic, “are being considered as possible treatments for Covid-19 and should be analyzed to determine their efficacy and adverse side effects” .
According to the statement, WHO and African countries are collaborating to ensure the safe and effective development of traditional medicine on the continent with the agency that provides financial and technical support.
