About Phyra
Phyra is a Lagos-based company building an intelligence platform for Africa's medicinal plants. It argues that the continent's rich ethnobotanical knowledge is rarely structured, searchable or evidence-graded, and it is creating a structured data layer to fix that.
The platform links medicinal plants, bioactive compounds, health conditions and indigenous knowledge, with evidence graded independently and traditional knowledge attributed to its sources. Users can search by plant name or condition in Yoruba, Hausa, Igbo, English or French. Phyra also runs NatureLab and publishes its ethical principles alongside a web app.
