Among the Yoruba, health is understood as a balance between body and environment. Blood circulation and the strength of the heart are considered vital to life, and any disruption is viewed not only as a physical issue but also as a potential social imbalance. Our forefathers, in their wisdom, developed Ogun Aya Jija, a traditional healing system aimed at controlling high blood pressure, stabilizing blood flow, and restoring overall cardiovascular health.Ogun Aya Jija is not merely about herbs and roots; it a complete approach in treating HBP. In Yoruba belief, maintaining normal blood pressure requires the proper functioning of the heart and arteries For centuries, Yoruba elders have used these remedies to protect individuals from the dangerous effects of high blood pressure, particularly in times when modern hospitals and medications were unavailable.
