description In Nigeria, traditional medicine, commonly called "Maganin Gargajiya," holds a significant place in the healthcare system and is widely used due to its cultural relevance, accessibility, and perceived efficacy. This review seeks to evaluate whether traditional medicine is a net benefit or risk to public health. It will explore the pros, such as the care provided by traditional healers, and the cons, including delays in seeking conventional treatment and the potential health risks associated with unregulated herbal remedies. This article synthesizes existing studies on traditional medicine in Nigeria, evaluating both the benefits and risks associated with its use, based on secondary data analysis. The review aims to provide a balanced perspective on the role of traditional medicine in Nigeria, examining whether it should be integrated into, regulated alongside or divorced completely from modern healthcare to improve overall patient outcomes and safety.
