Confirmed Yoruba Herbs and Medicine for Children's Convulsions

Among the Yoruba, children are regarded as blessings and integral members of the family and community. When a child experiences convulsions or fits, it is seen as a medical concern and physical balance may be disturbed. Our fore fathers in Yoruba land developed Ogun Giri Omode, a traditional healing system specifically to address convulsions in children, restore calm, and ensure proper development.
ogun giri omode to treat convulsion in childrenOgun Giri Omode is more than just a combination of herbs and roots; it is an approach that addresses the child’s physical, spiritual, and emotional well-being. Yoruba elders believed that convulsions could arise from fever, dietary imbalances, or inherited influences.

From time immemorial, families relied on this practice to safeguard their children, especially during times when modern hospitals were inaccessible. Even today, many Yoruba families turn to these remedies for their unmatched potency and effectiveness.

Symptoms of Convulsions in babies (Giri Omode)
In Yoruba belief, elders observed signs that a child might experience convulsions:

•  Sudden shaking or twitching — Jerky movements of the limbs or whole body.
•  Loss of consciousness — The child may fall unconscious or become unresponsive.
•  Fever or high body temperature — Often preceding convulsion episodes.
•  Abnormal eye movements — Rolling or staring that seems unusual.
•  Restlessness or irritability — Unusual agitation or crying in infants and toddlers.
•  Sudden weakness — Loss of energy even when no fever is present.
•  Repeated episodes — Convulsions that occur at night or after minor illness.

By observing these signs, Yoruba elders were able to prepare Ogun Giri Omode in advance, ensuring both protection and early intervention.

How Our Forefathers Treated Convulsions in Children
When a child experienced convulsions, Yoruba elders applied a combination of remedies, including:

•  Herbal decoctions to calm the body, reduce fever, and restore balance.
•  Application of medicinal pastes or powders to specific body points.
• Protective charms or amulets worn by the child to prevent recurrence.
•  Dietary adjustments to strengthen the child’s immunity.
Check out some of the leaf and plants which have been previously used to treat convulsion:
1) Ewe Akoko
2) Ewe Odundun
3) Ewe Jenjoko
4) Egbo Akoko
5) Egbo Apasa
6) Ewe Rinrin
7) Ewe Eyin Olobe

These steps were carefully followed to protect the child, relieve symptoms, and prevent long-term effects.

The Healing Process in Traditional Practice
When preparing remedies for Ogun Giri Omode, Yoruba elders followed structured steps to ensure potency:

1.  Collecting herbs, roots, or leaves at specific times believed to carry stronger healing energy.
2.  Purifying and pounding materials into powders, decoctions, or tonics suitable for children.
3.  Administering initial doses carefully to monitor the child’s reaction.
4.  Combining treatment with dietary and environmental care to support recovery.

Differences Between Yoruba and Modern Treatment for Convulsions
While both Yoruba and modern systems aim to control convulsions, their approaches differ:

•  Focus of healing —
Yoruba remedies emphasize calming body energy, spiritual protection, and overall balance; modern medicine focuses on neurological function, medication, and hospital monitoring.

•  Materials used —
Yoruba healers relied on natural herbs, roots, and tonics; modern treatment uses pharmaceuticals and sometimes hospital interventions.

•  Approach to recurrence —
Yoruba healing includes spiritual protection, lifestyle adjustments, and holistic care; modern medicine emphasizes continued drug therapy and observation.

Safety First: Important Contraindications and Considerations
1) Severe or prolonged convulsions —
Always seek immediate medical attention for any life-threatening episode.
2) Underlying conditions —
Children with heart, kidney, or metabolic issues require extra caution.
3) Quality of source —
Herbs from polluted or chemically treated areas should never be used.
