It suffices to state that the growing demand for herbal medicine in Nigeria in the cure or treatment of communicable diseases results from its natural, medicinal, and therapeutic effects. However, the increasing demand for the herbal product has resulted in indiscriminate plant harvest and various individuals not being skilled in the art of herbal medicine production to indulge in manufacturing a poor, harmful and low-quality herbal product.
