The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Afefundara Foundation, Yeye Osunbukola Olomitutu AFEFUNDARA, has reiterated her call on Nigerians to embrace spiritual revival and healing through herbal and traditional medicines.
This was contained in a statement made available to Westernmirror.com.ng on Monday, March 24.
Yeye Afefundara, Arewa-Omi, the revered Olori Abiye Ogboni Agbaye and ‘Obabinrin Alaala Isese Agbaye’, disclosed that she is on a divine mission to help people reclaim their lost glory and destiny through spiritual guidance and herbal medicine.
She stated that as the CEO of Afefundara Foundation, she has dedicated her life to providing spiritual solutions to those in need.
According to her, through the grace of Eledumare, the supreme creator, she has guided countless individuals out of spiritual bondage and helped them rediscover their path in life.
She revealed that her work goes beyond providing spiritual answers adding that she also delves deep into understanding people’s stars in order to offer personalized advice on the right foods to eat and the appropriate clothing to wear to ensure a smooth life journey.
Yeye Afefundara disclosed that she attends to various spiritual challenges, providing insight and solutions to those who seek her help.
Yeye Afefundara, who is a strong advocate for Nigeria’s rich tradition of herbal medicine emphasized the significance of sustaining the traditional heritage as a cornerstone of healthcare for many communities.
“Herbal remedies have long been used in treating various ailments, from infectious diseases to chronic conditions, and offer a natural path to healing.
“In Nigeria, plants like Rauvolfia vomitoria are used to manage hypertension and nervous conditions, while Ocimum gratissimum aids in treating diarrheal diseases.
“Popular concoctions like ‘Agbo’ serve as natural remedies for fevers, backaches, and even to boost vitality. These remedies are often passed down through generations, holding deep cultural significance and serving as a lifeline for those in rural areas where access to modern healthcare may be limited,” She said.
She noted however, that the use of herbal medicine is not without its challenges stating the lack of standardized documentation and clinical validation as some of the causes that have slowed down the integration of traditional medicine into mainstream healthcare.
Yeye Osunbukola believes that harnessing Nigeria’s biodiversity holds the key to unlocking new treatments and improving healthcare outcomes.
She equally advocated for scientific research into these remedies to ensure their safety and efficacy while preserving the spiritual knowledge passed down through generations.
