Formerly widely known for its expertise in slimming down business and skin related problems, Quincy Herbals has evolved. Now Quincy Wellness and Naturopathic Centre, the healthcare services provider founded 26 years ago has upgraded to a full-fledged integrated healthcare centre offering a blend of western and traditional medicines in a modernized way to treat all form of illnesses human body grapple with.
Quincy Wellness and Naturopathic Centre boasts of a team of seasoned, well-trained and duly certified medical personnel with grounded knowledge in combining western medication with traditional medicine for the treatment of patients with any form of illness, especially chronic ones.
A duly registered healthcare centre with the Lagos state government, Quincy Wellness and Naturopathic Centre is a renowned leader in preventative health, nutrition medicine, provision of natural therapies, stress management among others.
While speaking with a few journalists at the centre’s new office in ikoyi, Lagos, on Wednesday, 19 January, 2022, the Managing Director of Quincy Wellness and Naturopathic Centre, Dr (Mrs.) Tobi Ayodele-Keeney, reiterated that the integration of the healthcare centre became necessary owing to the directives by the World Health Organisation (WHO) that African traditional medicine should be integrated into the healthcare system of Africa.
“The World Health Organisation (WHO) said that African traditional medicine should be integrated into the healthcare system of Africa. Some countries that are proactive have gathered themselves together and started doing it. If you go to the medical field, they will say herbs are bad, don’t use them and the traditional medicine practitioners will also condemn western medicine. WHO realized this gap and directed that there should be an integration of traditional medicine and practices into our regular healthcare system. For instance, if you go to a Chinese hospital, you will see the traditional healthcare practitioner and the western one and they have the highest life span in the world.
“At Quincy Wellness and Naturopathic Centre, we do integrated medicine. We have licenses to practice both services. In our clinic, we offer a wide range of services and treat patients in line with Covid-19 especially, malaria, typhoid to chronic diseases which western medicine could not cure.”
Dr Ayodele-Keeney posited that many patients do not agreeably confess that they have Covid-19, but their medical personnel discovered that they have been treating Covid-19 related symptoms.
“When we start treatments, there are some hallmark signs that are associated with Covid-19. When we check those signs and they are present in a person’s body, we treat and manage those symptoms and the person gets well. From our experience, we also realized that using drugs alone will not work, but combining medicine with herbs gives us far better results,” she intoned.
Speaking further the American trained Master’s Degree holder in nursing from the University of Maryland, Baltimore, USA maintained that side effects from natural therapies are rare. She said, at Quincy, treatments are carried out only after patients had been subjected to a complete in-house laboratory tests, but emphasis, according to her, are placed on natural traditional medicine rather than western medicine.
“I am pleased to announce that Quincy Wellness and Naturopathic Centre is not just an herbal home but an integrated medical centre.
“We’re registered under HEFAMAA and the Federal Ministry of Health traditional board. Our bedside manner is top-notch, we take each patient or client as if that’s the only person we are seeing for that day. We don’t believe in the rush to see you and go. We are a preventative healthcare centre. We believed in prevention. We practice don’t fall sick before you come here. And we believed in you taking ownership of your healthcare, so our bedside manner is awesome. We make sure that each patience is treated with utmost care and attention. Rapid diagnosis and digitalization, we have a fully functional and well-equipped laboratory.”
