The Local Physical and Spiritual Healing Supplies Shop in Senegal

Pictured above, a woman in the market of  M'Bour, Senegal (small city 1 hour south of the capital) sells a cornucopia of medicines and herbal aids; from chew sticks of many varieties to the popular "Viagra"-like kola nut.  Perusing her table, you can also find many provisions of the local marabouts (religious healers), like goat horns, Guinea feathers, cowry shells, and various incenses, used for sacrifices and other spiritual purification.
Very different then going to your nearby CVS or Rite-Aid pharmacy.
The top photo, taken on our visit to Senegal earlier this year, shows my husband and bewildered-looking son. .

The Wisdom of Africa Available At GyeNyame Online Holistic Health Store

My friend Bola Jacobs, originally from Nigeria has been selling wild-crafted balms, bitters oils and other cosmetic and health aids to stores in the New York area for years now and not long ago he opened an online shop to share the medicinal wisdom of Africa.
Products in the GyeNyame shop include Black Seed Bitters which have been used in Nigeria as an important detoxification and  digestive aid, Bullamatardi Tonic -  a natural "Viagra" of sorts that contains maca, black seeds and other herbs and Anokye balm - a product that touts healing everything from hemorrhoids to asthma.
The main ingredient in most of their products is an extract of the Nigella Sativa plant - also known as Black Seed or Black Cumin.  The oil of Nigella Sativa has been used for thousands of years for well-being throughout the Middle East, Asia and Africa and  has even been said to have been found in King Tutankhamen's tomb.
