About traditional healers
In South Africa, a traditional healer or sangoma is a practitioner of ngoma, a philosophy deeply rooted in ancestral spirits and traditional African medicine. While known as Spirit guides in western cultures, sangomas harness the power of ancestral wisdom and employ a blend of medicinal plants, animal fats, and skin. Drawing from the beliefs of indigenous peoples, sangomas offer a holistic and symbolic approach to healing, guided by the belief that ancestors in the spirit world provide instruction and guidance.
These healers are called upon to address illness, social disharmony, and spiritual difficulties, with the belief that spirits can intervene in people’s lives. Through ngoma, traditional healers strive to harmonize conflicting spirits, bringing relief to the patient’s suffering.
Muti, the spiritually curative medicines prescribed by traditional healers, are derived from botanical, zoological, and mineral sources. These remedies, administered by herbal specialists or inyangas, encompass a wide array of natural resources. With approximately 3,000 species of higher plants used in African traditional medicine, the healing tradition is deeply intertwined with Southern Africa’s rich biodiversity.
