About

Ethiopia’s long history of traditional medicine use!

The inhabitants of the Ethiopian highlands were long isolated from contact with other societies and over a period probably more than three thousand years, a distinctive lifestyle evolved. The isolation had its effects not only on the people but also, over a very much longer period, on the flora. The combination of endemism in the plant life and the maintenance of primitive beliefs and superstitions in the people, despite an early conversion to Christianity, resulted in an extensive and unique indigenous pharmacopoeia. Even though Ethiopia has had a written language for two thousand years, native medicines and treatments are an oral tradition-except possibly in church documents to which no layman is allowed access. This tradition has certainly played a part in the mystery attached to the cures by native practitioners. The plants used and the method of preparation are often closely guarded secrets, usually only passed from father to eldest son as the death of the former approaches. 

What are the benefits of herbal medicine?

Traditional Herbal Medicine.

“Herbs are a completely natural approach to prevention, healing and health support. Used in the right dosage, individually prescribed for your needs, they are a safe and effective way of, in some instances, opting away from or helping to support pharmacy medications. When used properly there are very few, if any, downsides to including herbal medicines in your holistic health habits.” 
There are many natural ways to heal, including:
  • Herbal Medicine is the use of plants, or parts of plants, for medicinal purposes. It’s also known as botanical medicine or phytomedicine.
  • Acupuncture a traditional Chinese healing method that involves inserting fine needles into the skin and manipulating them.
  • AromatherapyA natural healing method that uses essential oils extracted from plants, flowers, and trees to improve mental and physical well-being

Then they Let encourage people who smoke to quit smoking and strengthen their social relationships in their neighborhood! They were made to stay away from annoying and stressful situations.
