Hojer Traditional healers and the treatment of sexually transmitted illnesses in rural Zam 1999 Journal of Ethnopharmacology 67(1): 15-25 Abstract Lately there has been increasing interest regarding the practice of traditional healers and their use of indigenous plants to treat illnesses. Twenty-three local healers (n'ganga) in Chiawa, rural Zambia, were interviewed about knowledge, practices, and their use of indigenous plants in the diagnosis and treatment of sexually transmitted illnesses (STIs) among male clients. They were also asked about their perceptions of modern medicine. The study revealed that all the n'ganga diagnosed and treated three main types of STIs. They named them as: songeya, doroba and bola-bola. They treated the illnesses with Strychnos cocculoides; Musa species; Solanum delegoense; Ximenia caffra; Diplorynchus condylocarpon; and Croton megalobotrys. Ten of the n'ganga perceived modern medicine to be effective against STIs and five of them sometimes referred some of the clients to the local health centre. It is being argued that a scheme to incorporate the n'ganga into STD control activities in which they can be utilised to refer clients to modern medical facilities can be baneficial. Given the necessary health information and support, the n'ganga may effectively execute this scheme.

Malagashanine alone was devoid of cytotoxicity and cardiac effect on isolated auricle, and importantly, when combined to chloroquine, did not affect the inherent toxicity and cardiac toxicity o f t h i s a n t i m a l a r i a l a g e n t .
