Malaria remains a significant public health concern in Ghana, despite the availability of effective antimalarial medications. Traditional herbal remedies have been used for centuries by local communities to treat malaria symptoms and prevent disease progression. A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 200 participants from various regions of Ghana. Participants were asked about their use of traditional remedies alongside conventional antimalarial drugs. Data collected included socio-demographic information, treatment history, and health outcomes. Among the respondents, 58% reported using at least one traditional herbal remedy concurrently with prescribed medications. The most commonly used herbs included *Andrographis paniculata* (60%), which showed a significant reduction in fever duration by an average of 48 hours compared to those not using such remedies. The integration of traditional Ghanaian herbal medicines into malaria treatment strategies can be beneficial, particularly for reducing fever duration and improving patient compliance. Further research is needed to explore the synergistic effects of combining these treatments with current antimalarial protocols. Develop guidelines for healthcare providers on integrating traditional remedies into standard care practices, ensuring safe and effective use in conjunction with conventional medications. Conduct randomized controlled trials to validate efficacy and safety profiles. Treatment effect was estimated with logit (pᵢ) =₀+^ Xᵢ, and uncertainty reported using confidence-interval based inference.
