@ransford_nii_gh: ⚠️ Disclaimer: For educational and cultural history purposes only. How elders historically chewed specific botanicals like Susumasa and Fomwisa to focus their intentions and speak with confidence. In Ghanaian cultural history, when leaders, elders, or speakers needed to address a crowd or settle an important family matter, they focused on their speech. Ancestors would take a small piece of the Susumasa stick (Newbouldia laevis) and chew it together with a few seeds of Fomwisa (Alligator Pepper). The sharp, warming properties of the pepper combined with the traditional elements of the leaf were used to ground the mind, clear heavy thoughts, and find inner strength. Our ancestors believed that by cleansing the mouth and tongue with these elements, their words would carry weight, clarity, and authority, making others listen to their perspective with respect and calm attention. #ghanatiktok🇬🇭 #LearnOnTikTok #herballife #spiritualawakening #africanspirituality
