Using indigenous herbalism and African spirituality, traditional muthi has been around for hundreds of generations – long before scientific medicine. “Muthi” is derived from the Zulu word, “umuthi” meaning “tree”. As its meaning suggests, treatments are made where possible using natural materials and age-old tradition. Traditional African medicine and Sangoma medicine have had wide usage across modern Africa and are still believed to have beneficial effects ranging from spiritual and general healing to treating specific ailments.​
