The Damara people continue to emulate their ancestors by using ancient medicinal techniques with wild plants. These include mopane leaves and stink bush. However, once the plants don’t work, only then do they resort to modern medicine or seek medical treatment. This, according to tour guide Sioni ||Gaseb at the Damara Living Museum during a media familiarisation tour by the Namibian Tourism Board, is also to revive the original culture and prevent the complete loss of the tradition.
