Among the Yoruba, health was never seen as only a physical matter but also a spiritual balance and discipline. Diseases of the body, especially those connected with sexual organs, were treated with seriousness because they affected not just the individual but also family honor and fertility. One such condition was Atosi (gonorrhea), a painful and shameful illness that caused discomfort, weakness, and sometimes long-term damage if left untreated.
Our forefathers in Yoruba land, in their wisdom, developed Ogun Atosi, a traditional healing system designed to cleanse the body of infection, reduce pain, restore reproductive health, and renew spiritual purity. Yoruba understanding of disease went beyond bacteria or germs; Atosi was believed to be caused not only by sexual misbehavior but also by spiritual imbalance, curses, or neglect of personal discipline.
For years bacck, this practice helped men and women recover from venereal infections at a time when hospitals and modern antibiotics were unavailable. Even today, some families still remember and pass down these remedies as part of cultural heritage, both for their cleansing effect and for their ancestral wisdom.

Symptoms of Atosi (Gonorrhea)
In Yoruba tradition, elders and healers paid close attention to the physical, behavioral, and spiritual signs of Atosi. These guided them in knowing when and how to prepare remedies:
• Frequent urination with burning pain – A sharp, hot sensation when passing urine.
• Discharge – Thick, whitish, or yellowish discharge from the private part.
• Genital pain – Itching or soreness around the organ.
• Weakness in the waist – Men especially complained of aching loins and reduced strength.
• Pain during intimacy – Discomfort that discouraged sexual activity.
• Shame and withdrawal – The person often avoided social gatherings out of embarrassment.
• Restlessness at night – Discomfort leading to lack of sleep.
Yoruba Elders understood that these signs were not to be ignored. Remedies were prepared not only to treat the body but also to restore the person’s confidence.
How Our Forefathers Treated Atosi in the Past
When gonorrhea was suspected, Yoruba healers followed a structured process, combining herbal, physical, and spiritual methods:
• Washing and steaming —
Genitals were sometimes steamed or washed with herbal water to ease pain and reduce discharge.
• Poultices and pastes —
Some remedies were pounded and applied externally around the lower abdomen or genital area.
• Dietary and sexual discipline —
Patients were often forbidden from eating certain foods or engaging in intimacy until fully healed.
• Herbal decoctions —
Roots and leaves were boiled to prepare drinks for internal cleansing. Potent leaf previously used in treating Atosi include:
1) Ewe Abafe
2) Ewe Lapa Pupa
3) Ewe Ewe Jogbo
4) Ewe Apá
5) Eso Orombo
6) Ewe Botuje
7) Egbo Ako Ibepe
Through these methods, Yoruba medicine aimed not only at relief from symptoms but also at the full restoration of health, confidence, and spiritual strength.
