Yoruba Medicine

Traditional Medicine, which is only one of a number of systems of medicinal techniques nowadays practiced in Yorubaland, forms part of the rich cultural tradition of the Yorubas. Although it should in many respects be regarded as distinct from the mainstream of Yoruba traditional religion, medicine, like many other aspects of Yoruba life is inextricably intertwined with it. Through this book the reader is afforded an extensive encounter as well as cognitive approach to Yoruba Medicine.
