What is ibovu?

According to Ulwazi Programme, Ibovu ‘red soil’ is the kind of soil that you can get from the rural areas near the river or in the valley. Ibovu does a lot of work even though some people think that it is just soil.

A person who has a rash over his body can also use the above by smearing it on the rash, and it will heal. Ibovu also prevents sunburn from damaging your face; you also have to smear it on your face. It can also be used in a wound that does not heal; it can help to heal the wound.
