Ashe-Orisa Spiritual terms

Traditional African medicine is a range of traditional medicine disciplines involving indigenous herbalism and African spirituality, typically including diviners, midwives, and herbalists. Practitioners of traditional African medicine claim to be able to cure a variety of diverse conditions including cancer, psychiatric disorders, high blood pressure, cholera, most venereal diseases, epilepsy, asthma, eczema, fever, anxiety, depression, benign prostatic hyperplasia, urinary tract infections, gout, and healing of wounds and burns and even Ebola.[1][2]

Diagnosis is reached through spiritual means and a treatment is prescribed, usually consisting of a herbal remedy that is considered to have not only healing abilities but also symbolic and spiritual significance. Traditional African medicine, with its belief that illness is not derived from chance occurrences, but through spiritual or social imbalance, differs greatly from modern scientific medicine, which is technically and analytically based. In the 21st century, modern pharmaceuticals and medical procedures remain inaccessible to large numbers of African people due to their relatively high cost and concentration of health facilities in urban centres.[3]

Traditional medicine was the dominant medical system for millions of people in Africa prior the arrival of the Europeans who introduced science-based medicine, which was a noticeable turning point in the history of this tradition and culture.[4] Herbal medicines in Africa are generally not adequately researched, and are weakly regulated.[5] There is a lack of the detailed documentation of the traditional knowledge, which is generally transferred orally.[6] Serious adverse effects can result from mis-identification or misuse of healing plants.[1]

While growing up, I learnt that “Ibi tí ti ęnìkan dé, ni ti ęnìkan ti bęrę”. This saying speaks about human limitations. No matter how great you think you are or have became,
Yours is not as great as someone else,
If you go far, you will see
Where money humbles money
Where power pass power
Where influence swallows influence
And
Life goes on and on
This is for us to use our strength to the fullest and respect the strength and power of others.
We have two choices, either to help or destroy one another. The choice is yours.
