Among the Yoruba, childbirth is a wonderful moment to be celebrated, but the period immediately after delivery is considered equally critical. New mothers are recognized as vulnerable, not just physically, but also emotionally. One common issue observed by Yoruba elders is Inu Kikun Leyin Ti Obinrin Ba Bímọ — a condition where women experience irregular bowel movements, stomach discomfort, rumbling sounds, or eruptions soon after childbirth.Our forefathers developed remedies to restore balance to the digestive system, alleviate discomfort, and support the mother’s recovery. These remedies were not merely medicinal but combined physical, and dietary care to ensure smooth postpartum healing.
By addressing digestive disturbances early, Yoruba women regained strength, confidence, and vitality, ensuring they could care for their newborns without prolonged discomfort or illness.

When preparing remedies for postpartum bowel discomfort, Yoruba elders followed precise steps to ensure effectiveness and safety:
• Collecting herbs, leaves, roots, or barks at times believed to enhance potency.
• Cleaning, pounding, or boiling materials into decoctions, teas, or herbal pastes.
• Administering the first doses carefully while monitoring the mother’s reaction.
• Combining remedies with dietary guidance and gentle postnatal care for optimal results.
Differences Between Yoruba and Modern Digestive Treatment
While both Yoruba traditional medicine and modern approaches aim to restore bowel health, their methods differ:
1) Focus of healing —
Yoruba remedies emphasize restoring digestive energy, spiritual balance, and overall postpartum strength; modern medicine focuses on hydration, electrolytes, or pharmacological intervention.
2) Materials used —
Yoruba healers used herbs, leaves, and roots; modern treatment relies on medications, supplements, or medical procedures.
3) Approach to recurrence —
Yoruba healing included lifestyle adjustments and spiritual cleansing; modern treatment often relies on continuous monitoring and repeated medication.
Safety First: Important Contraindications and Considerations
• Pregnancy and Lactation — Remedies are intended for postpartum use; caution is advised if breastfeeding.
• Underlying conditions — Women with chronic illness (e.g., diabetes, hypertension) must consult both elders and medical professionals.
• Quality of Source — Herbs from polluted areas or chemically treated environments are unsafe and must not be used.
