Among the Yoruba, manhood is regarded as more than physical ability — it represents dignity, vitality, and completeness. The Yoruba saying “Àgùntáṣé ni ọkùnrin” (a man must have strength and action) reminds us that male vigor was a mark of balance between the body and inner energy. When a man could not rise to his marital duties, it was not only considered a private challenge but also a disruption of his natural flow of strength. Such conditions were taken seriously, as they affected a man’s confidence, his marriage, and even his social respect.Our forefathers believed that erectile dysfunction — known as ìdàkòlè — was not only caused by weakness but also by blocked circulation, excessive worry, fatigue, or imbalance in body temperature. Yoruba traditional healers viewed the male body as a system of blood and heat, where the waist and lower abdomen were the centers of power. When any part of this internal system lost coordination, erection became difficult or impossible.
For this reason, Agbo Idakole became an essential part of traditional medicine in Yoruba land. It was a preparation made with carefully selected roots, leaves, and barks that helped to restore strength, open blood pathways, and warm the body. The goal was not temporary stimulation, but full restoration of natural ability, ensuring that the man could perform his role with confidence and satisfaction.

Symptoms Observed by Our Forefathers
The Yoruba healers recognized various physical signs that showed when a man was suffering from idakole. These symptoms helped them determine the seriousness of the condition and guide the form of treatment to apply.
1) Inability to achieve or maintain erection during sexual activity.
2) Weak or inconsistent firmness of the manhood.
3) Reduced sexual desire or total lack of interest in intimacy.
4) Quick loss of strength during intercourse.
5) Numbness or coldness in the waist or lower abdomen.
6) Frequent tiredness, low energy, or general body weakness.
7) Soft or flabby manhood even when aroused.
8) Diminished confidence, embarrassment, or physical withdrawal from the partner.
9) Pain in the groin area after attempt at intercourse.
10) Poor sleep and low appetite, especially in chronic cases.
It is worthy to understand that Agbo Idakole is very different from Agbo Ale/Afato
How Our Forefathers Treated Erectile Dysfunction in the Past
Yoruba healers treated erectile weakness using natural substances that strengthened the blood, increased warmth, and improved circulation. Every preparation aimed at restoring inner balance rather than forcing reaction.

GET A-Z YORUBA HERBS PDF #3KThe Healing Process in Traditional Practice
Yoruba medicine for erectile dysfunction was not a rushed process; it followed careful methods built on knowledge and patience.
1) Herb Selection and Timing –
Roots and leaves were collected early in the morning when their natural oils and potency were strongest. Some herbs were preferred fresh, others dried before use.
2) Proper Combination – The healer ensured a balance of herbs that warmed, strengthened, and nourished. Too much of one type could cause excessive heat or tension.
3) Gradual Restoration – Herbal medicine worked slowly but firmly. Men were advised to take the decoction consistently while avoiding overwork, excessive alcohol, or cold exposure.
Differences Between Yoruba and Modern Treatment
(a) Focus of Healing –
Yoruba treatment seeks to restore blood, nerve, and body warmth, while modern medicine focuses mainly on chemical or hormonal correction.
(b) Duration and Impact –
Herbal remedies work gradually but give lasting recovery. Modern drugs produce fast reactions but often wear off quickly.
(c) Source of Power –
Yoruba herbs depend on natural roots and leaves, while modern treatment uses processed substances and laboratory compounds.
Safety First: Important Contraindications and Considerations
• Pregnancy and Lactation – Some potent herbs are unsafe for pregnant or breastfeeding women. Elders insisted these must never be used during this time.
• Underlying Conditions – Individuals with heart disease, high blood pressure, or liver challenges should not use strong stimulants without proper guidance.
• Source Quality – Plants grown with chemicals, pesticides, or harvested from polluted areas carry harm instead of healing. The source must be trusted.
