GREEN CURE FOR MEASLES

This is a childhood disease caused by a virus. Symptoms include high body temperature and characteristic skin eruptions. It is a serious disease which needs immediate attention. Herbs for measles include basil (efirin, Yoruba), vervain and wild lettuce (Latuca taraxacifolia) (efo y anrin, Yoruba). The wild lettuce leaves are pulped and mixed with palm oil and salt to rub on the skin. Palm kernel oil may also be rubbed on the skin to alleviate the skin eruption. The efirin is squeeezed in water and taken. The vervain is taken as tea. Dr. Aladdin's 7 way is a proprietary herbal mixture registered by NAFADAC that mothers find very useful in the treatment of measles. Another treatment recommended by practitioners is: boil some quantity of leaves of pigeon pea (Cajarus cajan) (otili, Yoruba) and use the water to bathe every night and drink half a glass twice daily for 5 days. Also drink diluted lemon juice to help quench the thirst and bring down the temperature. Dust rice powder thickly on measles or any other inflammatory condition of the skin including burns and scalds. This has a cooling effect on the skin.
