Professors Bisrat Hailemeskel and Fekadu Fullas have released a new book that pairs traditional Ethiopian home remedies with guidance on safety and evidence. The May 2026 publication aims to help readers use natural treatments responsibly for common ailments.
The authors drew from their clinical experience and upbringing to create Home Remedies A–Z: Natural Therapies for Your Family. They highlight remedies such as ginger for stomach issues, garlic for skin infections, and nettle for blood sugar control, while stressing the need to consult professionals for serious conditions.
Each section outlines causes, symptoms, and precautions. The book warns that natural does not always mean safe and notes interactions with drugs like blood pressure medications.
The writers also discuss preserving cultural knowledge through documentation and scientific review. They are now preparing an English-Amharic medical dictionary to improve communication in healthcare settings.
The guide is available on Amazon and targets families, students, and health workers worldwide.
