Confirmed Yoruba Medicine and Herbs for Throat-ache

Among the Yoruba, the throat is not seen as a mere passage for food and speech but as a channel that connects breath, life, and voice. When illness affects the throat — whether through swelling, pain, difficulty swallowing, or hoarseness — it is regarded as a serious disturbance to health. This condition is traditionally referred to as Belubelu, and our forefathers developed remedies under the system of Ogun Belubelu to restore ease, strength, and balance.
ogun belu belu to treat throat acheYoruba healers believed that the throat carried not just physical importance but also spiritual power, since the ability to speak, sing, or pray is tied to throat and communication with people. Thus, when Belubelu arises, it is considered not only a sickness of the body but also a disruption of bodily functions.

Symptoms Linked to Belubelu (Throat Ache)
Yoruba elders were observant of both physical and spiritual signs that suggested a person was suffering from throat disease. These guided them in applying Ogun Belubelu:

•  Persistent throat pain when speaking or swallowing.
•  Swelling or visible lumps around the neck.
•  Hoarse or lost voice, sometimes sudden.
•  Difficulty breathing or choking sensations.
•  Fever and weakness accompanying throat blockage.
•  Restlessness or anxiety linked to fear of losing voice.
•  Refusal to eat or drink due to pain.

These signs helped Yoruba healers distinguish between ordinary sore throats and deeper conditions that required both herbal medicine and spiritual cleansing.

How Our Forefathers Treated Ogun Belubelu in the Past
Treatment of throat disease in Yoruba traditional medicine was a structured process involving herbs, ritual practices, and protective invocations. Some of the methods included:

•  Steam inhalation using hot leaves and herbs to open blocked airways and soothe pain.
•  Topical application of ground herbs or oils rubbed around the neck to reduce swelling.
•  Spiritual chants and incantations to restore the power of speech and remove unseen obstructions.
•  Protective charms worn around the neck as both medicine and spiritual shield against repeated attacks.
•  Herbal concoctions and drinks prepared from roots, leaves, and barks known to ease swelling and clear the throat. Example of leaf and roots previously used in treating Throat Ache (Belu Belu) are
1) Warm water solution
2) Ewe Efinrin
3) Ewe Tanaposin
4) Ewe Odundun
5) Egbo Igi Ogbo
6) Iwo Ibepe (Pawpaw seed)

Through this multi-dimensional healing, patients were healed and health restored!

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

•  Selecting herbs, roots, or barks at the right time of day for maximum strength.
•  Washing, pounding, or boiling them into drinks, gargles, or steaming infusions.
•  Chanting incantations (òfò) to spiritually “open the throat” and restore voice.
•  Recommending dietary restrictions, such as avoiding certain hot or oily foods.

Differences Between Yoruba and Modern Throat Disease Treatment
Though both systems aim to relieve throat pain and restore health, they differ in approach:

•  Focus of healing —
Yoruba healing balances physical comfort, voice restoration, and spiritual cleansing; modern medicine targets infection, inflammation, or bacteria.

•  Materials used —
Yoruba healers relied on natural herbs, oils, and roots; modern medicine uses antibiotics, lozenges, or sprays.

•  Approach to recurrence —
Yoruba remedies included protective charms and lifestyle practices; modern treatment may require repeated drug therapy.

Safety First: Important Contraindications and Considerations
•  Children and infants —
Remedies must be applied in milder doses for safety.

•  Severe breathing difficulty —
Such cases required urgent attention and not only traditional remedies.

•  Underlying conditions —
Those with chronic illnesses must use remedies cautiously.

•  Quality of herbs —
Polluted or chemically treated plants must never be used.
