Scientific Pillars
We combine ethnobotanical field documentation with biochemistry assays to validate the efficacy and safety of traditional African remedies.
Collaborating with traditional health practitioners to document ethnobotanical remedies, preserve oral histories, and establish respectful intellectual property frameworks in rural communities.
Collaborate on in-vitro assay runs, plant database audits, or metabolic chemistry profiles.
Liaise with local healers, assist in translation workshops, or support field mapping in Limpopo villages.
Conducting advanced laboratory research, including phytochemical profiling, bio-guided fractionation, and cell-based assays, to test the biological activity of local plant extracts.
Collaborate on in-vitro assay runs, plant database audits, or metabolic chemistry profiles.
Liaise with local healers, assist in translation workshops, or support field mapping in Limpopo villages.
Validating traditional plants used for diabetes mellitus. We evaluate their glucose-uptake stimulation, enzyme inhibition (alpha-amylase/glucosidase), and antioxidant profiles.
Collaborate on in-vitro assay runs, plant database audits, or metabolic chemistry profiles.
Liaise with local healers, assist in translation workshops, or support field mapping in Limpopo villages.
Running safety workshops in rural villages of Limpopo. We teach communities about natural remedy dosages, drug-herb interactions, and sustainable plant harvesting.
Collaborate on in-vitro assay runs, plant database audits, or metabolic chemistry profiles.
Liaise with local healers, assist in translation workshops, or support field mapping in Limpopo villages.
Corporations can direct their CSI budget or sponsorships to specific laboratory screenings or local safety workshops, earning B-BBEE credits.
