MY VERDICT….

it is true that Ewedu leaf has nutritional value, medicinal properties and health benefits… However, the claims from the article on the benefits of Ewedu to delivery is false and should not be taken seriously. Drinking Ewedu leaf at 37 weeks of pregnancy does not ease labour pains does not prevent caeserean delivery and does not make vaginal birth easy. Yoruba women suffer similar labour pains and pregnancy complications including prolonged and obstructed labour like every other women from other tribes. You cannot use Ewedu to induce labour.

You must never deliver at home in this modern age and time. Go to the hospital and stop looking for pregnancy short cuts. If you don’t want pain during delivery…. Request for epidural. No culture forbids caeserean delivery in Nigeria and religious charlatans that preach against CS in Nigeria or Africa should be sanctioned and fined…. if found.

Thank you.
