University Open Air: Traditional African Ways to Boost Immune System
This course introduces two traditional methods that indigenous Africans have used to keep their bodies healthy. Until the 21st century, natural food and leaves were used to boosting immunity. Since the outbreak of the Coronavirus, the use of natural food has reemerged globally, especially among Africans in Europe and the Americas.
