dc.description.abstractNo attempt is made in this paper at a peregrination or perusal of Pharmacy as an academic discipline. Conversely, our emphases are on how historical research can facilitate Pharmacy as a discipline to benefit maximally from the values of indigenous knowledge system of traditional medicine in Igbomina. This paper, which adopts a historic-structural, systematic and analytical approach, with a combination of primary and secondary sources of data collection, explores the rich geography, vegetation, ecology as well as trado-medic and pharmaceutical values of the land and people of Igbomina. Our findings reveal that, contrary to the common view regarding the holocaust of African indigenous traditional values to modernity, it is incredibly fascinating to realise that much has been preserved in the institution of young minds who, if given the enabling environments, are ready and zealous about taking the African indigenous knowledge system to enviable heights in our own generation. Our conclusion is that amazingly, the beautiful ones are already born, even though the ugly ones (who do not want the young to grow) are not yet dead. We only need to discover them and create the enabling environments for them to survive and rule the world with natural, probably un-chemicalised therapeutic, curative and healing methods.en_US
