Yoruba Herbal Medicine for Babies’ Skin Itching

Among the Yoruba people, the health of a newborn or infant is considered a great responsibility. Babies are believed to be pure and sensitive to both natural and supernatural influences. When a baby begins to experience ara tita (body itching), it is often viewed as more than an ordinary skin irritation. Yoruba elders interpret such a condition as a signal that the baby’s inner balance has been disturbed — whether by heat, allergic reactions etc.
ogun ara tita omodeIn many Yoruba communities, a crying, restless baby scratching constantly or developing rashes on the body quickly draws the attention of elders and traditional healers. They believe that a child’s body communicates distress in subtle ways, and Ogun Ara Tita Omode — the herbal medicine for treating baby body itching — was created to restore harmony, soothe discomfort, and strengthen the child’s skin against future irritation.

Symptoms Observed by Our Forefathers
Before applying Ogun Ara Tita Omode, Yoruba healers would carefully observe the baby for signs that indicate discomfort or imbalance. Some of the symptoms that drew their attention included:
• Persistent scratching or rubbing of the skin.
• Red or patchy rashes spreading across the neck, chest, or back.
• Restless crying, especially at night.
• Inflammation or visible skin irritation that resists regular creams.
• Refusal to sleep or feed properly due to discomfort.
• Peeling or scaling skin accompanied by heat sensations.

The Healing Process in Traditional Practice
The preparation of Ogun Ara Tita Omode followed a methodical approach:
1) Selection of Herbs – Only gentle, baby-safe herbs were chosen — those known for cooling and anti-irritant properties.
2) Proper Preparation – The herbs were lightly pounded or soaked rather than boiled, to prevent excessive potency that might harm the baby.

Differences Between Yoruba and Modern Treatment
a) Concept of Cause – Yoruba medicine treats body itching in babies as an ailment that requires utmost carefulness, while modern medicine focuses mostly on infections or allergies.
b) Healing Materials – Yoruba treatment uses mild herbal leaves and natural oils; modern medicine relies on lotions, antibiotics, and creams.
c) Purpose of Treatment – Traditional healing seeks to restore total balance, not just to stop symptoms.

Safety First: Important Contraindications and Considerations
• Clean Source of Herbs – Herbs must come from pure, chemical-free areas to avoid harm.
• Proper Dosage – Only a mild mixture is applied or used for bathing; strong preparations can irritate a baby’s skin.
• Avoid Harsh Ingredients – No alcohol, pepper, or strong roots should be included in a baby’s mixture.
• Observation After Use – If irritation persists, a more experienced herbalist or healthcare provider should be consulted.
