Shrnutí:Despite being members of closely knit indigenous groups and sharing a common passport, transnational herbal practitioners along the transport corridors of Nigeria and Niger rely on several social interactions to ensure safe passage and negotiate trading spaces within their host communities. With a qualitative research method through a border study approach with some of these discourses, we explore the processes and challenges transnational herbal practitioners encounter as they navigate border crossings and negotiate trade within host communities. Our paper also examines the implications of these processes for the circulation of herbal medicine goods and services between Nigeria and Niger.
