izifozonke definition

izifozonke means „all diseases‟, thus the mixtures are used for many conditions. General tonics are in most cases administered orally by drinking a warmed portion or by adding the mixture to a traditional beer (umcomboti) or the lagers, fermented corn (amageu), traditional porridge (uphutu) and/or in tea. Umcomboti is an integral part of everyday Zulu life thus it is widely used in administering herbal preparations.
