Confirmed Yoruba Medicine and Herbs for Unhealed Wounds

Among the Yoruba, wounds (egbo) are not seen as ordinary physical injuries alone. A wound that refuses to heal, known as Egbo Adajina, is considered a serious condition that affects both the body and general well-being. Unlike minor cuts that close naturally, an unhealed wound lingers, causing pain, foul odor, swelling, and in some cases, attracting flies or discharges.
yoruba medicine to treat unhealed woundsOur forefathers recognized that such wounds drained a person’s strength and dignity, sometimes limiting their ability to work, interact socially, or even participate in communal gatherings. They developed Ogun fún Egbo Adajina, a traditional healing system that combined herbs, roots and oils to treat stubborn wounds, restore health, and prevent further complications.

For many decades, this medicine gave relief to countless people in times when hospitals, antiseptics, and modern wound treatments were unavailable. Even today, some families preserve this knowledge as part of their knowledge for healing chronic or complicated wounds.

Symptoms Linked to Unhealed Wounds (Egbo Adajina)
In Yoruba tradition, elders paid close attention to the warning signs of a wound that might not heal on its own. These included:

1) Persistent pain — The wound continues to hurt long after it should have healed.
2) Foul smell — A rotten odor that signals deep infection.
3) Continuous discharge — Pus, blood, or watery fluid draining without drying up.
4) Swelling and heat — The surrounding skin remains hot, red, or swollen.
5) Difficulty in healing — The wound remains open despite treatment or time.
6) Restlessness from pain — Sleepless nights and constant discomfort.
7) Weakness and fatigue — The wound drains the person’s overall strength.
8) Withdrawal from community — Shame or fear caused by the sight or smell of the wound.

How Our Forefathers Treated Egbo Adajina in the Past
When faced with an unhealed wound, Yoruba elders applied a structured approach that combined medicine and hygiene:
(a) Herbal cleansing —
Washing the wound with herbal decoctions to remove infection.
(b) Poultices and pastes —
Applying ground leaves, roots, or barks directly to the wound to dry pus and promote healing.
(c) Binding with cloth or leaves —
Covering the wound to protect it from flies and dirt.
(d) Oil and shea butter applications —
Soothing the wound with natural ointments for faster skin repair.

The Healing Process in Traditional Practice
When preparing remedies for unhealed wounds, Yoruba elders followed structured and disciplined steps:

•  Collection of herbs — Healing plants were gathered during the early morning or late evening for maximum potency.
•  Purification — Materials were washed and pounded into paste, infusion, or powder.
•  Observation — The wound was carefully monitored to ensure gradual drying and healing.

Differences Between Yoruba and Modern Wound Treatment
(1) Focus of healing — Yoruba remedies emphasized cleansing bad blood; modern medicine focuses on infection control and tissue repair.
(2) Materials used — Yoruba healing employed natural leaves, roots, and bark; modern medicine relies on antiseptics, antibiotics, and surgery.
(3) Approach to recurrence — Yoruba remedies included purification of body to prevent reappearance; modern treatment stresses continuous dressing and medical monitoring.

Safety First: Important Contraindications and Considerations
• Severe infections — Large wounds with pus or spreading infection must not rely only on traditional remedies.
• Underlying diseases — Diabetes and blood circulation issues may complicate wound healing.
• Quality of herbs — Avoid using herbs from polluted or contaminated areas.
