Among the Yoruba, the health of internal organs, including the kidneys, is considered vital for overall balance and longevity. Kidney stones, known as Okuta Inu Kindinrin, were recognized as a serious condition that could cause excruciating pain, urinary difficulty, and long-term complications if untreated.Our ancestors developed Ogun Okuta Inu Kindinrin, a traditional healing system, combining herbal remedies, and lifestyle guidance. The medicine is more than just herbs — it is an approach that balances the physical body, strengthens the kidneys.
The Yoruba believed that kidney health was linked to physical wellbeing. Pain or blockage in the kidneys was often seen as a sign of imbalance, impurities, or unseen interference. Elders prepared remedies that not only dissolved stones but also purified the urinary tract, fortified the kidneys, and restored balance to the body.
Even today, families continue to rely on these remedies as part of cultural heritage, especially when modern treatments are unavailable or as a complementary practice.

2. Purifying and pounding materials into powder, decoction, or tonic form.
3. Administering the first dose carefully to observe reaction before full usage.
4. Combining treatment with dietary restrictions to reduce stone formation and strengthen the kidneys.
Differences Between Yoruba and Modern Kidney Stone Treatment

• Focus of healing —
Yoruba remedies emphasize body energy, organ health, and spiritual balance; modern medicine focuses on surgery, lithotripsy, or pharmaceutical dissolution.
• Materials used —
Yoruba healers relied on roots, leaves, and tonics; modern medicine uses drugs, lasers, or surgical techniques.
• Approach to recurrence —
Yoruba healing often included lifestyle, diet, and spiritual cleansing; modern treatment emphasizes follow-up imaging and preventive drugs.
