Ancient Remedies, Modern Claims: A Traditional Healer's Potent Potions
In a world where modern medicine reigns, traditional healers still hold sway, offering ancient remedies with powerful claims. Dr. Joas Mashavha, a traditional healer and herbalist, is making waves with his latest concoction, 'Eskom'. But is it a miracle cure or a controversial claim?
Dr. Mashavha, from Chris Hani in Hammanskraal, Tshwane, believes in the power of ancestral wisdom. He claims that his ancestors reveal potent herbal remedies, or 'muthi', to him through dreams. His latest creation, Eskom, is said to be a game-changer for men's intimate health.
"Eskom switches on the power for a long time," reveals Dr. Mashavha. He claims this muthi has no side effects but significantly boosts performance, leaving his clients satisfied. But here's where it gets intriguing: he also specializes in treating epilepsy, a condition often considered mysterious and challenging to treat.
The healer's journey began in June 2025, and since then, he's introduced several muthi with catchy names like 'Let's Go' and 'Extra Time' in 2023, and 'Mayo' in January 2025. These names hint at their intended effects, adding a playful twist to his practice.
Joas travels extensively to source his ingredients from mountains and riverbanks across South Africa. He believes in the power of nature and the wisdom of his ancestors, a practice deeply rooted in his Venda heritage from Limpopo.
"I keep homes happy. A man's confidence and relationships can suffer if his intimate abilities are lacking. Women appreciate a man who's active and confident," he asserts. But his clientele isn't limited to men; he also helps women with fertility issues and emotional concerns.
And this is the part most people miss: his remedies are not for everyone. Underage individuals are strictly prohibited from his herbal shop, a responsible approach that raises questions about the safety and regulation of such practices.
Enoch Makhafola, a 51-year-old customer, swears by Dr. Mashavha's muthi. He claims, "My favorite is 'SMS,' which works wonders for me. I encourage men to try these remedies, but it also benefits my overall health."
But the question remains: are these claims too good to be true? The effectiveness and safety of such traditional remedies are often debated. Do they offer a genuine alternative to modern medicine, or should we approach them with caution? What do you think? Is traditional healing a powerful resource or a controversial practice?
