I Believe in Herbalism

A herbalist is not a witch doctor. There is nothing demonic about herbalism. Even in heaven, plants are used for healing-Revelations 22:2. Africans should not denounce herbalism because of Islam or Christianity. There is hardly any disease that herbs cannot cure. Read Genesis 1:29. God created man to eat herbs. Most sickness on Earth occurs because we have shifted from this divine diet, to eat all kinds of food that put pressure on our bodies. Herbalism restores the divine balance in your body by resetting you to your factory setting. Prophets in Scripture regular practiced herbalism 2 Kings 4:39. African herbalism is not evil. Embrace it. 

If you have ever had malaria and took agbo as a remedy, or had psoriasis, eczema, or other skin problems and used ose dudu (AKA dudu osun), you would never call herbalism evil. African herbs are potent. And we should not allow Christianity or Islam to scare us away from our heritage. Our universities should be offering degree courses on traditional African herbalism. There is a reason why our ancestors lived longer and stronger lives than we do. It is because they never ingested chemical pharmacopoeia. They had chewing stick for their oral health and used eti-erin (aloe vera) as an antibacterial while using kaolin for their digestive health. They equally used ewe asunwon (cassia alata, or senna alata) as an antiviral medication. They cured impotence with the dregs of palm oil and by consuming unripe plantains, amongst other things. We should not let these ancient wisdoms die out. Neither should we be ashamed of them. These are African botanicals, and we should be proud of them. I am a follower of Yeshua, and I believe in African herbalism.
