Confirmed Yoruba Herbs and Medicine to Treat Insomnia

Among the Yoruba, sleep is seen as a divine gift — a natural rhythm through which the body repairs, the spirit rests, and dreams bring guidance and insight. When someone is unable to sleep, it is not taken lightly. Àìrí Orun Sùn, meaning “inability to sleep,” is considered more than just tossing and turning; it represents a disturbance of balance in body, mind, and spirit.
ogun airi orun sun to treat insomnia
Our forefathers believed that prolonged sleeplessness could weaken the body, reduce mental clarity, and even open the door to spiritual vulnerability. Infact, there have been cases of people that died due to their sleeplessness. Because of this, Yoruba healers developed remedies to restore calmness, settle the heart, and invite restful sleep once again.

Symptoms of Àìrí Orun Sùn (Insomnia)
Yoruba elders were keen observers of sleep behavior. They identified Àìrí Orun Sùn through body patterns, emotional signs, and lifestyle changes. Below are the traditional symptoms they associated with this condition:

•  Difficulty falling asleep:
The person lies awake for hours despite feeling tired.

•  Restless nights:
Even when sleep comes, it is shallow and easily disturbed.

•  Frequent waking:
The patient wakes many times before dawn, unable to return to deep rest.

•  Excessive thinking (àníyàn):
Worry or deep thoughts keep the mind racing into the night.

•  Irritability and mood changes:
Lack of rest leads to short temper, sadness, or anxiety.

•  Loss of focus:
Daily tasks become difficult because the brain feels “foggy.”

How Our Forefathers Treated Àìrí Orun Sùn in the Past
•  Use of calming herbs and roots to relax the body.
•  Special baths with leaves believed to “cool the head.”
•  Prayer and incantations before bedtime.
•  Restriction from heavy meals and stimulants at night.
•  Observation of taboos (e.g., avoiding certain late-night activities).
•  Use of medicinal plants - Amongst highly potent Yoruba leaf with record-breaking effectiveness are:-

The Healing Process in Traditional Practice
Traditional Yoruba healers followed structured practices when treating insomnia:

•  Gathering of herbs at early morning or spiritually significant times.
•  Purity of source — only clean, safe plants from trusted areas were used.
•  Preparation through boiling, pounding, or steeping for sleep-inducing effect.
•  Involvement of chants or prayers for spiritual calm.
•  Careful observation of the patient’s response after first usage.

Differences Between Yoruba and Modern Insomnia Treatment
Yoruba and modern healing systems approach sleeplessness differently:
•  Focus of healing —
Yoruba remedies restore physical and spiritual calm, modern medicine targets brain chemistry.

•  Materials used —
Yoruba healing uses natural plants and spiritual practices, modern treatment uses sleeping pills or therapy.

•  View on recurrence —
Yoruba emphasizes lifestyle change and balance, modern medicine often manages insomnia with ongoing prescriptions.

•  Cultural value —
Yoruba methods tie sleep to destiny, dreams, and spiritual safety, unlike the clinical focus of modern systems.

Safety First: Important Contraindications and Considerations
•  Pregnancy and Lactation —
Some calming herbs are unsafe during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

•  Underlying Conditions —
People with chronic heart, kidney, or liver issues must be cautious.

•  Source Quality —
Polluted or pesticide-sprayed plants may cause harm.
