Consumer health alert: The risks of habitual ‘agbo’ consumption

In an interview with Consumer Watch, a Primary School Teacher, Monica Michael said she and the children have been taking agbo since the last seven years to treat typhoid fever and added that that the perceived efficacy of the herbal brew in addition to high cost of orthodox medicines made her to take such decision. Explaining further, she said: “Before now, l was not used to taking agbo and my children did not take it well, but when l realised the effectiveness of the mixture and its affordability, l switched over to it and ever since then, l no longer suffer malaria; typhoid and waste pain, the same thing with my children, they hardly fall sick because we take it from time to time. “I don’t buy from the hawkers on the street, rather I buy herbs from the herbalists and prepare it for the entire family. So far, it has worked very well for us”. Another home maker, Lola Alawode said that she takes agbo first thing in the morning before breakfast, adding that it has helped to regulate her sugar level. “l always take agbo jedi, that is a brand of the concoction that crashes sugar in the body system and it strengthens me also”, Alawode. But Christiana Chukwu revealed that she has never tasted agbo and would not. She added that it has no dosage and therefore could be detrimental to her health. “I am skeptical about the mixture; it does not have measurement unlike orthodox medicines. I am careful about what enters my mouth. Besides, some of the herbalists that sale agbo seems to be fetish. Whenever I fall sick, l do not want anything that will compound my problem. So, the only option whenever l took ill is to visit the clinic, whatever drugs they prescribed to me l will get the drugs and take them in good fate and within a short time l will recover from the ailment.” An interaction with some agbo sellers shows that the herbs can either be mixed with alcohol or water. A seller around Surulere, Lagos, who described herself as mama Tosin explained that most of her customers prefer herbs mixed with alcohol as alcohol seems to stay longer in the body than water. Obviously, many consumers do not take agbo because it does not have prescribed amount unlike the orthodox medicine. Stressing the above, mama Tosin explained that they measure and sell in short glass cup that contains two to three different herbs which sells for N500. Confirming this, another agbo seller said: “We measure and sell to our customers and many prefer herbs mixed with alcohol except few who don’t take alcohol based on their religious beliefs; they can buy the one mixed with water.” The question is how healthy is agbo since alcohol which is used as a solution to the brew is detrimental to health? A medical practitioner who spoke unanimously condemned the use of agbo in the treatment of any ailment, emphasising that it is detrimental to health. He attributed the increased cases of chronic kidney disease (CKD), liver problem to consumption of agbo. “Agbo does not come in grams like the orthodox drugs, you can imagine when one continues to take hard mixtures that do not have measurement, it will certainly destroy organs in the body”, he noted. On his part, a Lagos-based medical practitioner, Femi Aluko, described agbo as effective remedy to chronic diseases like asthma, hypertension, tuberculosis among others. He said: “When you meet the right herbalist, he will give you the right prescription and if you can comply with the rules and regulations, it works very well.” According to the medical practitioner, herbalists are now becoming more refined unlike before when agbo was not well prepared. “As a medical doctor, l will not discourage any patient from drinking agbo; l will advise that patients should meet the right herbalist and not hawkers who may want to compromise the quality by adulterating it with other substances that might not be healthy,” he said.
