REAP and anamed regularly conduct seminars in Kenya, in particular in Nairobi and western Kenya. Those attending have come not only from Kenya, but from many countries in the region and even further afield.
As a result of these seminars, the distribution of artemisia starter kits and the work of our collaborating organisations, we are delighted to say that Natural Medicine is now being practised in many parts of Kenya.
In particular, malaria patients are being treated with Artemisia annua tea, diarrhoea is being treated with anti-amoeba tea and HIV/AIDS patients are benefiting enormously from Artemisia tea, Roselle and Moringa leaf powder.

Additional Information
The aims of this training seminar are
to train 30 people (healers, pastors, missionaries, health workers, teachers and others active in the community) in
- the recognition, knowledge and cultivation of several medicinal plants in a medicinal garden.
- the hygienic production of effective Natural Medicines from these plants, e.g. teas, different medicinal oils and ointments and tinctures. We will also produce different medicinal soaps, medicinal charcoal, black stones for scorpion stings and snake bites and learn how to use several simple technologies.
- the treatments of many medical complaints and diseases, including malaria, skin problems, diarrhoea, HIV/AIDS and wounds.
- the influence of good nutrition and lifestyle on health.
Following the seminar, we expect the participants to:
- create their own garden of medicinal plants,
- prepare their own natural medicines,
- treat themselves, their families and others within their area of competence, and
- teach their families, colleagues and others in their communities.
Tutors: Rosalia Oyweka and Dr Roger Sharland, George Matengo.

The following are important aspects of our seminars:
- Our emphasis on working at the grass-roots, encouraging and supporting local people in developing and extending the skills they already have.
- We encourage traditional healers and formal health workers such as doctors and nurses to work together. We help them to recognise the positive contribution that each makes, and encourage them to work out practical ways in which they can cooperate.
- By introducing Artemisia annua, we enable participants to become much more independent and successful in their treatment of malaria, in their families, communities and health centres. Each participant will be given rooted cuttings and be taught how to grow this delicate but extremely valuable plant.
- It is important that all participants have a commitment both to practising what they learn and to teaching others, for example by conducting a similar seminar in Natural Medicine themselves, at least for a weekend.
- All participants will work together in practical work and possibly in establishing a garden. They must bring suitable clothes with them for such activities.
- Participants must attend for the entire programme to qualify for an anamed approved certificate; to come only on some days is not acceptable.
- Those participants who have a Bible should bring it. anamed and REAP are Christian organizations. We start every morning with a biblical reflection; each participant is invited to attend.
- All participants should try to bring a sample of at least one medicinal plant from their region for sharing with others.
