Ogwu Mgborogwu na Mkpaakwukwo (Igbo Herbal Medicine)

Mgborogwu na Mkpaakwukwo, the use of roots and herbs as medicine, is a sacred science guided by divine intelligence. This ancient practice treats both the body and spirit, relying not only on the pharmacological power of plants but also on the metaphysical force known as Ogwu—the spiritual cause behind all healing. Rooted in ancestral wisdom and empowered by Agwu (the deity of healing and divination), herbal medicine in Igbo culture is administered through deep knowledge and spiritual protocols. This teaching explores how the Dibia, or traditional healer, works as both herbalist and spiritual mediator, revealing a fascinating system where nature, divinity, and destiny collaborate to restore health and wholeness.
