Confirmed Yoruba Herbs and Medicine for Rheumatism

Among the Yoruba, physical ailments were seen not only as bodily challenges but also as conditions with environmental dimensions. Chronic pain, stiffness, and joint inflammation, now known as rheumatism, were recognized as a disturbance of the body’s functions. Our forefathers in Yoruba land, in their wisdom, developed Ogun Arunmolegun, a traditional healing system designed to relieve pain, restore mobility, and strengthen the body against recurring rheumatic conditions.
ogun aromolegun for treating rheumatismOgun Arunmolegun is more than herbs and roots; it is an approach that combines physical healing with fortification. Yoruba belief has it that good health requires both a strong body and alignment with spiritual protection.

For many years back, this practice helped countless individuals find relief from joint and muscle pains, especially in times before hospitals and modern medicine were available. Even today, many families continue to use these remedies as part of their heritage and wellness practices.

Symptoms of Rheumatism
In Yoruba tradition, elders and herbalists paid close attention to signs that a person may be suffering from rheumatism. These observations helped them know when to prepare Ogun Arunmolegun remedies:
1) Joint pain and stiffness —
Especially in knees, elbows, shoulders, and fingers.
2) Swelling or inflammation —
Noticeable in affected joints and surrounding areas.
3) Weak mobility —
Difficulty walking, bending, or lifting objects.
4) Recurring pain —
Symptoms often worsen in cold or rainy weather.
5) Irritability or frustration —
Chronic pain affecting mood and daily activities.
6) Sudden weakness or fatigue —
Loss of strength that feels unnatural.
7) Sensitivity to weather changes —
Pain intensifies with wind, rain, or cold, interpreted as signs of body-spirit disharmony.

Elders understood that these signs were not to be ignored. They prepared Ogun Arunmolegun in advance for individuals showing these patterns, ensuring relief from pain and restoration of mobility.

How Our Forefathers Treated Rheumatism in the Past
When chronic pain was evident, Yoruba elders used structured remedies and rituals. These included:
•  Steaming and bathing with selected leaves to relax muscles and ease stiffness.
•  Anointing affected areas with herbal oils to reduce swelling and improve circulation.
•  Trado-Medicine preparation to reduce inflammation and strengthen joints. Amongst Yoruba plants that is potent for romolapa-romolese (rheumatism) are:
1) Ewe Atare
2) Ewe Efinrin
3) Ewe Odundun
4) Ewe Gbegi
5) Ewe Ina
6) Egbo Akoko
7) Egbo Ibepe Ako

The Healing Process in Traditional Practice
When preparing remedies for Ogun Arunmolegun, Yoruba elders followed structured steps to ensure both physical potency and spiritual alignment:

1.  Collecting herbs, roots, or barks at specific times of the day, believed to carry higher healing potency.
2.  Purifying and grinding materials into powders, decoctions, or topical pastes.
3.  Adding chants or incantations to spiritually “activate” the medicine.
4.  Administering the first dose carefully to observe the patient’s response before full usage.
5.  Combining treatment with dietary guidance to maximize recovery and reduce recurrence.

Differences Between Yoruba and Modern Rheumatism Treatment
While both Yoruba and modern medicine aim to reduce pain and inflammation, their approaches differ:

•  Focus of healing —
Yoruba remedies emphasize restoring body energy, spiritual alignment, and holistic balance; modern medicine focuses on anti-inflammatory drugs, painkillers, or physiotherapy.

•  Materials used —
Yoruba healers relied on roots, leaves, barks, and oils; modern medicine uses pharmaceuticals or surgical interventions.

•  Approach to recurrence —
Yoruba healing often included lifestyle adjustments, spiritual cleansing, and body strengthening; modern treatment emphasizes continuous drug therapy or long-term physical therapy.

Safety First: Important Contraindications and Considerations
•  Pregnancy and Lactation —
Certain herbs may be too strong and unsafe for expectant or nursing mothers.
•  Underlying Conditions —
Individuals with hypertension, kidney issues, or heart disease must use remedies cautiously.
•  Quality of Source —
Herbs from polluted or chemically treated areas are unsafe and must never be used.
