Where did you learn these healing techniques from?
I learned these healing techniques through an immersive journey into West African healing traditions starting from 2010 to now. This experience has included preparing and administering herbal remedies while uncovering nature’s secrets to maximize their potential. I’ve traveled to Togo, Burkina Faso, and Benin in West Africa where I studied under traditional healers, “medicine men” shamans, and even ordinary people who have preserved these practices for hundreds, some thousands, of years. Their wisdom and expertise have deeply informed my approach to herbal healing.
Where are the herbs from?
Our herbs are sourced from multiple countries in West Africa, including Burkina Faso, Niger, Ghana, Togo, Benin, and the Gambia.
Why should I use these herbs?
No chemicals, no preservatives, and no B.S.
All of our herbs are naturally grown, harvested, then dried to preserve their potency. They are all-natural and 100% organic.
Sacredly harvested
We nurture our connection with the natural world, seeking permission from nature to harvest and utilize each herb for its unique healing powers.
When will I see results?
Please be patient with the remedies. Herbal treatments take time but are very thorough. Depending on the herb and your condition, you may see results in as little as 3-4 days, or as much as several weeks. Here are some things that affect the speed of your results:
-How consistently you take your herbs
-How successfully you stick to your diet
-Your mindstate…for example, worry and fear cause the body to tense up. Energetically, if you doubt the procedure and you allow that demeanor to thrive in your body, then the body naturally rejects the medicine. Or, it will at least make it more difficult to be effective.
I’m currently taking pharmaceuticals. Can I take your herbs?
This depends on the herb you wish to take and the pharmaceuticals you’re on. Please reach out directly to inquire.
I’m not African, but the herbs are from Africa. Will they work on my body constitution?
Absolutely! Our herbs and healing techniques are effective for everyone, regardless of their background. Human bodily functions share fundamental similarities across cultures, and our deep understanding of these systems allows us to tailor healing to suit all individuals. You can trust that our remedies will support your well-being, no matter your heritage.
I don’t live in Chicago. Can you travel here for my health consultation?
I don’t typically travel unless there are at least 10 people signed up for consultations. However, I’m open to special circumstances, so feel free to reach out and let me know your situation!
Do you accept children?
Yes, we see babies, young children, and elders–anyone who needs healing is welcome.
How do these herbs work, anyway?
Our herbs are mostly teas (to boil), tinctures (to put in alcohol), salves, and snuffs. You’ll consume/use them daily until your issue is resolved or until you start your next treatment.
I’ve never taken herbs before. Where do I start?
If you're trying herbal remedies for the first time and don't have serious health concerns, we highly recommend starting with a cleanse. Our Starter Kit is perfect. It detoxes your cardiovascular (blood), neural (brain), and gastrointestinal (digestive) systems.
We emphasize cleansing because regular cleansing prevents serious health issues, just like regular car maintenance prevents major car issues.
For outstanding or serious health issues please sign up for a health consultation here.
Do you accept insurance?
Unfortunately, at this time we do not accept insurance. However, our remedies and treatments are priced gently to allow for you to experience them even without medical insurance.
Do you provide remote health consultations?
Yes. Remote consultations are $75. Being that we can't see you in person, we can't guarantee that remote consultations will be as effective as in-person, but they will nonetheless improve your health situation.
Some of your herbs don’t have names, or ingredients aren’t listed. Why?
There are a couple reasons for this:
Typically, when we go to healers seeking herbs we ask them for herbs based on the health issue and not on the ingredients. So, unless you’re familiar with the type of herb they give you may not receive an ingredients list. This is a very normal aspect of the culture.
It’s like going to the pharmacy. You may only ask the effects of the pharmaceutical and whether there are harmful side-effects, as these are most important for you. It’s not likely you’ll ask for every ingredient in every product.
Also, we provide limited information in order to respect and preserve each healer’s secret recipe. Some of these recipes have been preserved within families or healing communities for multiple generations. Think of it as respecting unspoken patents amongst healers.
I emphasize that we only work with healers via word-of-mouth; healers with long histories of ethical healing practices. I myself trust African herbs, have taken them for over 10 years, and give them to my children.
I guarantee all these herbs are 100% natural and harvested from African bush and rural areas where there’s nothing but trees, bushes, the air we breathe, and the land beneath our feet.
I list what ingredients and names I know and am at liberty to share. As we grow and learn more I’ll update the website and descriptions so that you can also learn and grow alongside us.
