Akabanga is Rwanda's famous chili oil, created by entrepreneur Sina Gérard in 1983 and now made on a large scale near Nyirangarama. The name means "little secret" in Kinyarwanda. It is a fiery infusion of Scotch Bonnet and habanero peppers in oil, sold in a small dropper bottle because a drop or two is all you need — add it to beans, brochettes, grilled fish and meat, chips, eggs, soup, isombe or matoke.

Swish a small amount around the mouth after brushing, then spit out; do not swallow. This is a herbal hygiene product, not a substitute for dental treatment — see a dentist for persistent tooth or gum problems. Keep out of reach of young children.

Apetamin is a syrup that combines cyproheptadine hydrochloride — a strong antihistamine — with the amino acid lysine and several B vitamins. Cyproheptadine blocks serotonin receptors that normally suppress hunger, so it is widely marketed as an appetite stimulant and weight-gain aid.

Read the label in full and speak to a pharmacist or doctor before use. Do not exceed the stated dose. Keep out of reach of children.
