Quinine is the classic 'natural' malaria treatment, hence it's inclusion in tonic water and other bitters drunk with gin.
One slice of toast and marmite for breakfast is apparently a very good mosquito repellent (some humans find it repellant, too, but not usually in such small amounts). This corroborates the yeat tablet recommendation above, since Marmite is yeast extract. If you like Marmite, it's worth packing a small jar to intrigue the Customs Officer.

You must always depend on anti-malarial tablets and injections because of their effectiveness. Malaria is a very serious disease and you should never neglect it to prevent it from natual medicines or herbs.

*Malaria prophylaxis is needed if you are going to any tropical area
*Chloroquine tablets are needed
*The dosage is 3tablets of 100mg on a single day once in a week, every week till u leave the malaria prone area
*If it is an area where drug resistance is common additional drugs need to be taken
-ALL THESE DRUGS SHOULD BE TAKEN ONLY UNDER PRESCRIPTION FROM A REGISTERED MEDICAL PRACTITIONER
*Malaria vaccines are in market but they are not fully tested and not proven 100% effective
