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 yanrin, 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 efinrin is squeezed in water and taken. The vervain is taken
as tea. Dr. Aladdin’s 7 way is proprietary
herbal mixture registered by NAFDAC that mothers find very useful in the treatment
of measles. Another treatment recommended by practitioners is: boil some
quantity of the leaves of pigeon pea (Cajanus
cajan) (otili, Yoruba) and use the water to bathe every night and 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.
