Rising drug prices in Nigeria are forcing many citizens to turn to herbal remedies as an alternative to conventional medicine. The increasing cost of prescription drugs and other medical treatments has made it difficult for some Nigerians to afford proper healthcare.

Some individuals are resorting to locally prepared herbal mixtures, believing they offer a cheaper solution to their health problems. However, health professionals have warned that the use of unverified herbal remedies can pose serious health risks, particularly when the ingredients, dosage and possible side effects are unknown.

Experts have urged Nigerians to seek medical advice before using herbal preparations, stressing the importance of safe and affordable access to healthcare.
