Cuban health authorities recommend the public resort to natural medicine to alleviate the shortage of medicines in the island, according to the official media El Guerrillero.
The head of the Department of Provincial Medicines and New Technologies, Odalys Lorenzo Morejón, “insists on the use of natural and traditional medicine (MNT) as an alternative to various treatments and with great acceptance among the population”, recalls the note.
In Cuba, there was a general shortage of medicines due to the deep economic crisis that was sweeping the country.

Callava Couret added that the organ and aloe have its capacities to prevent “respiratory infections”; and that the “extracts of mango red, llantén, romerillo, caña santa and aloe” can serve as immunomodulator and cicatrizante.
With respect to the tinturas, the officer is refired that the water and cane santa can reduce arterial hypertension. While guayaba is antiseptic and antidiarrheal.

Without embarrassment, the green medicine is also sometimes in the current state of affairs in Cuba, but the property notes that “many pharmacies are not available”.
The shortage of medicines is one of the most serious problems of the last year in Cuba. The people have agreed to the social reasons for the need to purchase medicines in short supply, while the state has lost production capacity, prioritizes exports and is not the first time to recommend natural medicine as a solution to the crisis.
