05|4|11 Medicinal plants in the Volta Region, Ghana

There are many medicinal plants scattered throughout the maize and cassava fields.  As well as throughout the Savannah.  Many locals know about these plants- however their use is dwindling.  Peter Harvey and I thought it would be a good idea to document them. We catalogued their healing properties, growing behaviours and preparation.  We did this to create dialog within the communities to further address anemia and malnutrition.  Here are some we discussed:

Cassava

Sobolo Flowers

CocoYam Leaves

MoringaPalmnuts
