A cure for Covid-19?
When I first arrived in Ghana in September a Ghanaian friend told me not to bother taking malaria tablets because they are harmful to the body long-term, as are all western pharmaceuticals. "They all have side effects and make your body weak so that infections can get in" he said. "if you get malaria then just gather some neem tree leaves and boil them in a big pan and drink the tea". It is better at curing malaria than any of your Western drugs and it does not come back. The malaria goes out in your urine and you will feel strong. "Some very good malaria treatments that you can buy at the pharmacy are based on neem" he said. "That is why you will see cars at the roadside under a neem tree with people gathering leaves". It is true, I have seen that and neem trees are all over Ghana. Some reach a huge size. They are the favourite tree for roadside food stalls, sellers to sit under and taxi drivers to park under and wait for customers, as the foliage is plentiful and they on mature neem trees the leaf bearing branches grow at just the right height and angle to provide a lot of shade just above head height.

Why Herbal Medicines are Back on the Table
It's March 20th, and the COVID-19 panic sets in everywhere. It's in the news 24/7, it's all over the Internet and it's all over the worried faces of people in the streets. This is a disease like we have never seen before, it's an absolute catastrophe, the world is coming to an end according to cable news. Facebook is hysterical, Twitter is dramatic, Wall Street is absolutely terrified, and Reddit is already calling the whole thing a conspiracy. One thing is certain, nobody knows what the hell is going on. My mom calls me once again, this time she tells me I've got to buy this new plant-based supplement that is going to strengthen my immune system and has anti-inflammatory virtues, and I've got to go outside as much as possible to absorb an optimal amount of vitamin D, which is supposed to help me fight the virus, should I catch it. "And don't forget to put a mask on", she adds before telling me she loves me, and hanging up.

Rediscovering Greeting Cards
With only a week until Christmas the clock is ticking to complete those holiday purchases. While some people have had gifts bought wrapped and ready to go for months, others struggle with last minute shopping searching to find that special someone the perfect gift. This year there is another group of people; ones who have been hit hard by the ongoing pandemic. For these people the very thought of gifting brings extra stress to an already difficult situation. As unemployment being the only source of income for people across the country money is tight. Maintaining a roof overhead, feeding children and providing the essential basics are the obvious choice of reason.
