Correspondence from Ashanti Region The Head of the Department of Herbal Medicine at KNUST, Professor I.K.
Amponsah, has cautioned against the blanket condemnation of herbal medicines, emphasising the importance of evidence-based assessments.
Speaking at the commissioning of the department's newly renovated facility, he defended the value of local remedies and highlighted their untapped potential.
Professor Amponsah argued that sweeping statements about herbal medicines causing damage to organs such as the kidneys and liver are both misleading and harmful.
