Examples of traditional African Medicine

Plants have been used medicinally long before recorded history.  During ancient times, our ancestors understood that Mother Earth contained all that our bodies needed to achieve optimum wellness. The ancient Kemetic (Egyptian) people left to their decendents papyrus writings that describe the medicinal uses for plants as early as 3,000 BC.  The Ancient Chinese people have a legacy of healing modalities that are still popular today. All indigenous cultures used herbs in their healing rituals, in conjunction with developing traditional medical systems. Researchers have found that people in different parts of the world tended to use the same or similar plants for the same purposes.  So the question becomes, “When did the way we heal ourselves change?”.  It begain during the 19th century when chemical analysis first became available. Scientists began to extract and modify the active ingredients from plants.  Chemists then began making their own version of plant compounds and, over time, the use of herbal medicines declined in favor of drugs. Almost one fourth of pharmaceutical drugs are derived from botanicals.

Recently, the World Health Organization estimated that 80% of people worldwide rely on herbal medicines for some part of their primary health care.  Are your taking advantage of the Earth Medicine that is available to you?  

The use of crystals for healing and magic is an aboriginal practice.  Their power has been long recognised, by prehistoric civilisations.  Ancient Priestesses, Healers and, shamans developed an in depth understanding of the healing and magical properties of crystals.  Because of them, we know today that crystals vibrate at the same pitch as humans. In fact, some African cultures, assert that human beings and rock minerals are to be grouped in the same kingdom while non human animals are grouped in another.  As Earth Beings we are able to connect with the elements around us. The resonance between the stone and the human create a type of alchemy that can shift the vibrational field around the individual assisting in spiritual transformation and a change in ones magnetic field.  The individual that carries crystals will soon begin to notice a change in their thoughts, behavior and, environment.  The home that is protected by a crystal grid will benefit from increased positive energy and be shielded to with psychic protection.
