You are curious. You have read about the power of African herbs and the accuracy of bone readings. You feel a pull towards this ancient path.

But you also have questions that you are too polite to ask:

  • "Is this safe to drink?"

  • "Will I invite bad spirits into my home?"

  • "Is this a scam?"

These fears are valid. The internet is full of horror stories. But just as there are bad doctors and bad mechanics, there are bad healers. The existence of a bad one does not mean the entire profession is dangerous.

I work with clients in London, Berlin, and New York every day. My practice is built on Safety, Hygiene, and Ethics. Here is everything you need to know to feel secure in your healing journey.

Calm, natural light, and neatly arranged herbs on a clean surface create a reassuring, clinic-like atmosphere. Caption: “Is African Traditional Healing Safe for Western Clients?

1. Physical Safety: The Herbs (Muthi)

The biggest fear for Western clients is consuming something unknown.

  • The Truth: Traditional African Medicine is the grandmother of modern pharmaceuticals. (Did you know Aspirin comes from Willow Bark?).

  • My Protocol:

    • Non-Toxic: I do not use dangerous heavy metals or toxic plants. My remedies are 100% natural roots, barks, and leaves.

    • Dosage Control: In the village, measurements were loose. For my international clients, I provide exact instructions (e.g., "1 teaspoon in 1 liter of water").

    • External Use First: If you are nervous about drinking herbs, we start with Steaming or Bathing. This allows the medicine to enter your system gently through your pores without ingestion.

2. Spiritual Safety: Good vs. Bad Energy

Hollywood movies often portray African spirituality as "dark" or "demonic." This is a stereotype rooted in ignorance.

  • The "Do No Harm" Rule: A true Sangoma is a servant of the Light. We are spiritually forbidden from harming others. If a healer offers to kill someone for you or curse an innocent person, run away. They are a Sorcerer (Umthakathi), not a Healer.

  • My Practice: I focus on Protection, Cleansing, and Opening Roads. I remove darkness; I do not send it. You are safe in my hands.

3. Medical Safety: Interaction with Western Meds

This is critical.

  • The Rule: Do not stop your prescribed medication.

  • If you are on medication for blood pressure, diabetes, or mental health (antidepressants), tell me immediately.

  • The Balance: Traditional Healing works alongside Western medicine, not against it. We treat the spiritual root cause while your doctor treats the physical symptoms. We work as a team.

4. How to Spot a Fake (Scam Alert)

Unfortunately, there are scammers online pretending to be healers. Here is how to spot them:

  • Red Flag 1: They promise you will win the Lottery tomorrow. (No spirit can guarantee gambling wins).

  • Red Flag 2: They ask for thousands of dollars/euros immediately to "buy a cow" or " appease a furious spirit."

  • Red Flag 3: They threaten you. "If you don't pay me, I will curse you."

    • Fact: A real healer never threatens a patient. That is a violation of our ancestral code.

5. Privacy and Confidentiality

In Europe, you have GDPR. In my Ndumba (Sacred Room), I have the Oath of Silence.

  • Your secrets, your medical history, and your family drama are sacred. They are never shared.

  • I have high-profile clients (CEOs, politicians) who trust me with their reputations. Your privacy is guaranteed.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I get sick from the herbs? A: If you follow the dosage, no. However, like any detox (even a juice cleanse), you might experience a "Purge" (mild diarrhea or sweating) as the toxins leave your body. This is a sign the medicine is working, not that you are poisoned.

Q: Will the spirits haunt my house? A: No. When I perform a ritual for you, I open a specific channel and then Close It. I do not leave spiritual doors open. I give you specific instructions on how to dispose of ritual materials (salt, water, ash) so that the energy is returned to the earth properly.

Q: Is it safe for children? A: Some rituals (like Salt Baths) are very safe and beneficial for children with nightmares. Strong herbal mixtures are generally reserved for adults. Always ask me first.
