Among the Yoruba, the heart is not only a vital organ but also a symbol of life force and emotional balance. Maintaining a strong and healthy heart was considered essential for physical vitality and emotional stability. Our forefathers, in their wisdom, developed Ogun Aisan Ọkàn, a traditional healing system designed to prevent and treat heart ailments, strengthen circulation, and promote overall cardiovascular well-being.Ogun Aisan Ọkàn is more than a collection of herbs—it is an approach that balanced physical treatment and general well being of the body. Yoruba belief affirms that heart disease can influence diet and lifestyle
For different ages, this practice helped many individuals maintain heart health in times when hospitals and modern medicine were scarce. Even today, many people still trust these remedies as part of their heritage.

When preparing Ogun Aisan Ọkàn, Yoruba elders followed structured steps to ensure potency:
(i) Collecting specific herbs, roots, and leaves at times believed to maximize healing properties.
(ii) Purifying and grinding materials into powders, decoctions, or tonics.
(iii) Administering initial doses carefully to observe reactions before full treatment.
(iv) Combining treatment with dietary guidance and lifestyle adjustments to support heart health.
Differences Between Yoruba and Modern Heart Treatments
While both systems aim to protect and restore heart health, approaches differ significantly:
• Focus of healing —
Yoruba remedies emphasize balance between body energy and emotional stability; modern medicine focuses on cholesterol, blood pressure, or pharmacological interventions.
• Materials used —
Yoruba healers use herbs, roots, and plant-based tonics; modern medicine uses pills, surgeries, or injections.
• Approach to recurrence —
Traditional healing includes lifestyle changes; modern treatment emphasizes ongoing medication and monitoring.
Safety First: Important Contraindications and Considerations
1) Pregnancy and Lactation — Some herbs may be too strong for pregnant or breastfeeding women.
2) Underlying Conditions — People with hypertension, diabetes, or pre-existing heart disease must use remedies cautiously.
