He gave the categories of herbal medicines, including products from botanicals or plants used to treat diseases or maintain health.

He listed it as a medicinal product and herbal supplements made from plants and used for curative or preventive purposes.

According to him, the exercise is targeted at regulating and controlling the use of herbal substances, which has been on the increase among residents of the state.

Before the ban, Anambra was noted as a place where open advertisements of herbal medicine in motor parks and other strategic areas are rampant, where many residents have often depended on herbal medicine, popularly called “Agbo”, as a remedy for a range of illnesses and diseases.

However, the increase in cases of some illnesses, such as kidney failure, has been attributed to the state’s indiscriminate use of herbal medicine (Agbo).

“The ban on open advertisement of all forms of herbal medicines in the state is to contain the excesses and the indiscriminate use of herbal concoctions among the people,” the statement added.
