Yoruba Traditional Medicine for Motor Accident Safety

Among the Yoruba, travel and movement were treated with the same care given to serious illnesses. Roads, pathways and journeys carried risks — from rough terrain to unexpected threats — and our Yoruba forefathers developed plant-based knowledge to protect travellers. Ogun Ẹyọ̀ Mọ́tò refers to traditional preparations used by travellers, drivers, and those who spend long hours on the road with the aim of reducing the likelihood of accidents and keeping the body alert during travel.
ogun eyo motorThis preparation was practical and precautionary: it grew from generations of observation about who travelled safely and who suffered many mishaps. Forefathers noticed patterns — certain people repeatedly survived dangerous journeys while others experienced continual minor crashes or near-misses — and they traced part of this difference to bodily strength, alertness, and external protection that could be supported with plants, oils, and careful preparation. Ogun Ẹyọ̀ Mọ́tò therefore belongs to the class of travel medicines that prepare the body and senses, help the traveller remain steady and focused, and reduce susceptibility to sudden harm on the road.

In everyday use, this medicine was not presented as magic, nor as a guarantee against harm. Instead, it was a set of preventive measures — baths, powder, and light tonics — based on roots, leaves, barks and oils that supported wakefulness, circulation, and sensory clarity. In traditional practice it was paired with sensible behaviour: rested drivers, well-maintained vehicles, and careful routes. Together, natural preparation plus prudence formed the Yoruba approach to safer travel.

The Need For Accident Waiver (Ogun Eyo Moto)
Forefathers looked for physical signs that showed a traveller was at higher risk on the road and would benefit from protective preparation:

•  Frequent dizziness or light-headedness while travelling — faint spells or a spinning feeling when riding or driving.
•  Sudden and unexplained sleepiness — strong urge to nod off during journeys, even after rest.
•  Recurring headaches or blurred vision on the road — visual disturbance or head pressure that impairs attention.
•  Repeated minor injuries during travel — frequent cuts, bruises, or knocks on journeys and trips.
•  Persistent fatigue and muscle stiffness after short travel — body weakens quickly and cannot sustain watchfulness.
•  Nausea or severe motion sickness that does not improve — continuous stomach upset that distracts and weakens the traveller.

How Our Forefathers Treated Travel Vulnerability in the Past
Forefathers relied on plant-based measures designed to strengthen alertness, calm motion sickness, and protect the body during journeys:

•  Protective Herbal Preparations — infusions of selected leaves and barks were used for full-body washes before long trips; the aim was to invigorate circulation, clear heaviness, and steady the nerves.

The Healing Process in Traditional Practice
Treatment and preparation were practical, plant-focused and carefully managed:
1) Timing of collection —
roots, leaves and bark for travel preparations were usually gathered early in the morning when they were freshest and their aromatic/stimulating qualities were strongest.
2) Selection and quality control —
healers chose materials known locally to reduce nausea, sharpen senses, or strengthen muscles; damaged or chemically treated plants were rejected.
3) Preparation methods —
depending on use, plants were boiled into washes, infused into oils for rubbing, dried for powder, or simmered into mild tonics for short-term use.

Differences Between Traditional & Modern Accident Waiver
a) Traditional approach — strengthens the body’s physical readiness (alertness, circulation, motion comfort) using leaves, roots, barks and oils; emphasises prevention through bodily support.
b) Modern approach — focuses on vehicle safety (seatbelts, airbags, vehicle maintenance), driver training, road infrastructure, and rules of the road.
c) Complementarity — the safest results come from combining both: natural preparations to keep the body fit for travel, together with modern vehicle maintenance and safe driving practices.

Safety First: Important Contraindications and Considerations
•  Pregnancy and Lactation –
Some plant tonics and topical oils can affect pregnancy or pass into breastmilk; pregnant or breastfeeding women should avoid potent travel preparations unless cleared by a qualified practitioner.
•  Underlying Conditions –
Individuals with high blood pressure, heart disease, epilepsy, or severe diabetes must consult a healthcare provider before taking stimulating tonics or applying strong topical preparations.
•  Source Quality –
Plants harvested from polluted roadsides, industrial areas, or chemically treated farms may carry toxins; only clean, trusted sources should be used.
