Abstract :

The development and use of traditional herbal medicine have a very long historical background that corresponds to the Stone Age. Herbal medicine is a mixture of knowledge, skills and practices which are depended on theories, beliefs and experiences in digenous to a particular country or social group. Herbal medicine is a part and parcel of and sometimes synonymous with African traditional medicine. It is the oldest and still the most widely used system of medicine in the world today. It is used in all societies and is common to all cultures. The preference for a given healthcare delivery system has universally been acknowledged to depend not only on the type of services available,but also on the difference of the socioeconomic status of the people in specific location. The explorative research method was used in the work herein, from there search findings,it became obvious that people placed premium on the relevance of the two main forms of healthcare. The results further uncovered that discrimination of one form against the other is based on many reasons apart from efficacy. The best alternative government can help with the improvement and utilization of herbal medicine is strengthening the incorporation process with regards to Primary HealthCare.
