    "content": "has also been proven that many herbal remedies have been successfully used to manage chronic terminal illnesses such as asthma and the other diseases that I stated above. Majority of Kenyans living in the rural areas are also poor and cannot afford to go to hospitals. Many Kenyans also have faith in herbal medicine and, therefore, use the word of mouth to market and inform others. It is also known that it is the health budget in our country that has made herbal remedies attractive even to those of us who happen to be in the middle-class. There is also the changing lifestyle which has made diseases such as diabetes and hypertension more common amongst our people. All these reasons have made herbal medicine to be attractive to our people. Therefore, we cannot deny the fact that the use of herbal medicine is widespread in our country. Clinics specializing in herbal products have been established in major towns in the country and they offer cure to a myriad of diseases. Some practitioners have been known even to schedule countrywide tours to popularise this medicine. As we speak today, reports indicate widespread abuse nevertheless. The most common being the preparation of cocktails containing both herbs and conventional medicine. The results of such misuse can be dire."
