In Yoruba land, wealth, trade, and social exchange have always been a part of daily life. From the bustling marketplaces, people buy, sell, and often borrow when the need arises. But just as in modern times, debt (gbèsè) has always been a heavy burden. A debtor who cannot repay quickly may face shame, intimidation, or social rejection. In severe cases, families could even lose their peace of mind.To relieve such hardship, our forefathers in Yoruba land developed Ogun Gbèsè Sísan — a traditional preparation designed to make debt repayment easier. This remedy was believed to soften the heart of the creditor, reduce pressure on the debtor, and in some cases, even cause the lender to willingly forgive or forget the debt. More than just herbs, this practice blended wisdom with human psychology, ensuring that relationships were not broken while also granting the debtor room to recover.
In Yoruba belief, money is more than a physical currency; it is tied to àṣẹ and social harmony. A debt unpaid is seen as a knot binding one’s destiny.

Symptoms Linked to Debt-Related Hardship
Elders recognized that being in debt was not only a financial issue but also a physical and emotional problem. The signs they often pointed out included:
• Constant harassment by creditors – The debtor is pursued with threats or insults.
• Loss of sleep and appetite – Continuous worry about repayment affects health.
• Social shame – Avoiding gatherings or hiding from neighbors due to debt pressure.
• Fear and restlessness – A debtor feels constantly uneasy even without direct threats.
• Avoidance of creditor’s presence – Instinctively fleeing or feeling weak before the lender.
• Loss of confidence – Belief that nothing can ever clear the debt.
How Our Forefathers Treated Gbèsè in the Past
To address debt-related struggles, Yoruba traditionalists applied both herbal and spiritual interventions:
(i) Trado-medicine was prepared from specific roots and leaves believed to “cool” the creditor’s heart.
(ii) Powders were sometimes blown into the air before meeting the lender, to soften his mind.
(iii) Elders or community leaders acted as mediators, using the influence of tradition to calm creditors.

3) First applying or testing the remedy carefully to observe its effect.
Differences Between Yoruba and Modern Debt Relief Approaches
While both Yoruba tradition and modern systems address financial hardship, their approaches differ:
a) Focus of relief —
Yoruba remedies emphasize favor and emotional calmness; modern systems focus on repayment schedules, loans, or legal enforcement.
b) Materials used —
Yoruba healing employed herbs, charms, and spiritual incantations; modern relief relies on contracts, mediation, and financial planning.
c) Approach to recurrence —
Yoruba remedies often included cleansing and destiny renewal; modern relief emphasizes restructuring or refinancing.
Safety First: Important Contraindications and Considerations
• Moral caution — These remedies were never intended to cheat creditors but to bring peace.
• Underlying conditions — People under strong oaths or curses must seek proper cleansing first.
• Quality of source — Herbs from polluted or corrupted areas are unsafe for preparation.
