UAE- Fake herbal shop in Ras Al Khaimah ordered shut
Ras Al Khaimah — The Ras Al Khaimah Municipality has ordered closure of a spices and herbs shop as the shopkeeper posed as a professional doctor and prescribed medicines without licence.
According to a senior official the civic body may cancel the licence for good because the shopkeeper claimed he is able to treat chronic diseases such as diabetes infertility and blood pressure.
“We are currently studying the possibility of withdrawing the shopkeeper’s permit and preventing him from practicing herbs and spices business altogether” said Khalifa Mohammed Almaktoum Manager of the Public Health and Environment Department at the RAK Municipality.
“It was found the shopkeeper had distributed several brochures in which he claimed to be able to treat some chronic diseases.”
“Municipal inspectors also found liquor bottles hidden in the shop.”
Investigations show that the shopkeeper was filling powdered herbs in capsules. “He used to grind the herbs in a hidden place in gross violation of the set rules that only allow grinding herbs in front of customers.”
Almaktoum said the dealer was also mixing aphrodisiacs with herbs with without informing customers posing a grave risk to people’s health.
