Ancestral & traditional practices
Traditional Herbal Practices
Herbs, roots and other plants have a central place in many traditional rituals. They may be burned for smoke, added to water for washing, or kept in a small pouch or charm.
This is not medical treatment. These practices do not diagnose, treat or cure any illness, and they are not a replacement for a doctor. Never stop or change any medicine or treatment because of a ritual.
What the ritual involves
In many traditions, plants are used in a ritual bath, burned to make smoke, or sewn into a charm. Here they are used as part of a spiritual ritual, not as medicine. Shakir explains which plants are used, and any precautions, before the practice begins.
If any herbs are given to you to use, Shakir tells you exactly what they are first, so you can check with a doctor or pharmacist about allergies or medicines.
If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking any medicine or have allergies, please check with a doctor before taking part. The practice can be done in person or remotely, and if herbal items need to be sent to you, delivery is agreed before you order.

Common questions
Can herbs from this practice cure an illness?
No. This is a traditional spiritual practice, not medicine. It does not treat or cure anything. For any health problem, please see a doctor.
How do I know what is in the herbs?
If any herbs are given to you to use, Shakir tells you exactly what they are first. Never take anything without knowing what is in it, and check with a doctor or pharmacist if you take any medicine or have allergies.
I am pregnant. Can I take part?
Please check with your doctor or midwife first, especially before a herbal bath, smoke or any other contact with plants. Tell Shakir as well when you get in touch.
Can herbal items be posted to my country?
Where they go, the cost and the timing are agreed before you order. Some countries limit or ban bringing in plants and roots, and customs or import tax may apply, so please check your local rules too.
