Confirmed Ase and Olugbohun preparation

Among the Yoruba, words are not just sounds — they carry àṣẹ (potency), the sacred power to create, direct, and transform reality. Speech is tied to spiritual energy, and elders believed that when properly fortified, a person’s voice could command respect, obedience, and even instant compliance. This is where Olugbohun — the traditional system of empowering one’s voice with spiritual authority, played a vital role.
olugbohun to command peopleOlugbohun is more than just loud speaking or persuasion; it is a complete process of strengthening the orí (inner head), aligning with ancestral blessings, and invoking the sacred force of àṣẹ. Yoruba Elders used it not only to command younger people but also to establish authority in meetings, settle disputes, and give instructions that were rarely disobeyed.

For years, Yoruba leaders, chiefs, kings, priests, and wise elders employed Olugbohun to maintain order and transmit authority without struggle. Even today, traces of this practice are remembered in proverbs like “Ọ̀rọ̀ l’agba fi ńse àṣẹ” (the elder’s authority is carried through words).

The necessity of Olugbohun
Yoruba elders observed certain signs in individuals whose words lacked force or were often disregarded. These signs indicated the need for Olugbohun remedies to restore dignity and strengthen verbal authority:

•  Instructions often ignored —
Even clear words fail to inspire obedience.

•  Lack of respect during gatherings —
The speaker’s voice carries little weight in decision-making.

•  Repeated interruptions —
Others freely cut into conversations without restraint.

•  Visible nervousness —
Sweating, shaking, or faltering voice in public speech.

•  Feeling “invisible” —
The sense that one’s presence or voice makes little impact.

Elders believed that these signs showed a weakening of àṣẹ in the person’s voice. Without correction, such individuals risked losing influence in their family, community, or leadership role.

How Our Forefathers Possessed Olugbohun in the Past
When someone’s words lost power, Yoruba elders used specific remedies and practices to strengthen the voice and restore authority. These included:

•  Herbal concoctions for throat and chest fortification.
•  Ritual washing of the tongue with prepared herbs.
•  Chanting of sacred incantations to charge the voice with àṣẹ.
•  Spiritual alignment rituals involving the orí and ancestors.
•  Use of protective charms carried in the pocket or worn discreetly during speeches.
• Amongst the leaf which our forefathers used previously in preparation of Olugbohun in the past are:
1) Iwo Maalu (Cow horn)
2) Ewe Akoko
3) Ewe Odan 
4) Ewe Ope
5) Egbo Igi Aayan
6) Ewe Alupaida
7) Ewe Ajeobale
8) Ewe Osepotu

The Healing Process in Traditional Practice
When preparing Olugbohun remedies, Yoruba elders observed structured steps to ensure that the voice carried true command and spiritual backing:

•  Collecting herbs or roots at dawn, when nature’s spiritual energy was at its peak.
•  Purifying the tongue and throat with special rinses or washes.
•  Pounding or mixing selected leaves into liquids for sipping or for ritual cleansing.
•  Chanting sacred incantations to charge the voice with àṣẹ.
•  Testing the first usage carefully before applying for public occasions.

Differences Between Yoruba and Modern Voice/Authority Empowerment
While both Yoruba and modern systems aim to strengthen a person’s voice or influence, their approaches differ:

•  Focus of empowerment —
Yoruba remedies target the spiritual and ancestral force behind speech; modern methods focus on voice training or psychological techniques.

•  Materials used —
Yoruba relied on herbs, chants, and spiritual rituals; modern approaches use therapy, coaching, or public-speaking exercises.

•  Approach to recurrence —
Yoruba methods often included spiritual cleansing and lifestyle guidance; modern methods emphasize repeated practice and confidence-building.

Safety First: Important Contraindications and Considerations
•  Wrong intention —
Using Olugbohun to deceive or manipulate is strongly forbidden.

•  Spiritual backlash —
Misuse for unjust purposes could weaken one’s orí or attract misfortune.

•  Quality of source —
Herbs from polluted or defiled areas must never be used.
