Yoruba Herbal Medicine for Hernia

Among the Yoruba people, every ailment is seen as a sign that the body’s balance has been disturbed. Hernia is one of such conditions that our forefathers took very seriously. It occurs when a portion of internal organs or tissue pushes through a weak spot in the muscles of the abdomen, causing swelling, discomfort, and sometimes sharp pain. Yoruba traditional medicine understands this condition not just as a disorder of flesh, but as a failure of internal strength — the body’s inability to hold its contents in proper state.
agbo herniaOur forefathers noted that hernia could affect both men and women, though it appeared more commonly among men due to strenuous physical work, heavy lifting, or untreated internal strain. They believed that continuous pressure within the abdomen weakens the body wall, causing parts of the intestine to push out abnormally. Once this happens, the swelling becomes visible and painful, especially when standing, coughing, or lifting heavy objects.

To restore health, Yoruba healers created Agbo Hernia — a herbal preparation made from specific leaves, roots, and bark known for strengthening the abdominal muscles, reducing swelling, and easing internal pressure. This herbal approach was used across generations to relieve pain, correct the displacement, and prevent recurrence when used consistently with care and discipline.

Symptoms Observed by Our Forefathers
Yoruba healers recognized hernia by close observation and questioning of the patient. The symptoms they identified included:
1) Noticeable swelling or bulge around the lower abdomen or groin area.
2) Swelling that increases when coughing, standing, or lifting heavy loads.
3) Sharp or dull pain in the affected region.
4) Feeling of heaviness or dragging sensation in the lower abdomen.
5) Discomfort that worsens after eating or prolonged standing.
6) Constipation or difficulty passing stool due to internal pressure.
7) Weakness of the abdominal muscles.
8) In severe cases, swelling that becomes hard and painful when touched.

How Our Forefathers Treated Hernia in the Past
1.  Herbs Preparation–
The first step involved herbs that tightened and fortified the inner muscles of the abdomen. Decoctions (Agbo) of roots and leaves were prepared to strengthen weak tissue and restore firmness.

The Healing Process in Traditional Practice
1.  Herbal Collection and Timing –
Herbs were gathered in the morning hours when their healing power was believed to be strongest. This ensured freshness and potency of the materials used.
2.  Decoction and Preparation –
Roots, barks, and leaves were boiled together in specific proportions. The water was strained and taken in measured doses to build inner strength gradually.
3.  Regular Application and Observation –
The patient was advised to apply the herbal paste or oil daily while avoiding heavy lifting or bending. Progress was monitored closely by the healer.
4.  Dietary Caution –
Certain foods that caused bloating or constipation were restricted, while light meals such as grains, vegetables, and soups were encouraged to aid easy digestion.

Differences Between Yoruba and Modern Treatment
•  Approach to Healing: Yoruba medicine uses herbs to strengthen internal muscles and restore balance, while modern medicine often recommends surgery to correct the weakness.
•  Healing Time: Traditional remedies work gradually but address the root cause; modern surgery offers immediate correction but may require long recovery and risk recurrence.
•  Naturalness: Yoruba treatment uses natural herbs and oils; modern treatment depends on surgical instruments and medication.

Safety First: Important Contraindications and Considerations
•  Pregnancy and Lactation:
Some potent herbs are unsafe for pregnant or breastfeeding women. Forefathers insisted these must never be used during this time.
•  Underlying Conditions:
Individuals with liver, kidney, or heart problems should seek professional herbal guidance before using strong decoctions.
•  Source Quality:
Herbs must be sourced from clean, chemical-free environments. Polluted plants bring harm instead of healing.
•  Activity Limitation:
During treatment, patients were advised to avoid heavy lifting or straining, as this could worsen the condition.
