Most of these herbal products were originally considered to be related to traditional norms or customs that are suspected to be satanic, evil, ineffective and at times goes against people's religious views but due to the different branding strategies, most of these products have been publicly accepted, embraced and sold openly in most of the shops in Kampala by different people because of different branding strategies like packaging, sticker application, advertisement among others.
