The history of the Maroons will help to create a clearer understanding of some of the herbal medicine that have been practiced by the Maroons over many years.
The Africans who where taken from their African homeland arrived in Jamaica with only the traditional knowledge that they had acquired through the ages. They were very familiar with the medicinal usage of herbs, plants and fruits that grew in motherland Africa. When they arrived in the West Indies they found the same kinds of herbs, plants and fruit useful for medicine growing in abundance. Today, we continue to use these herbal remedies.
During the days of slavery and for sometime thereafter, the traditional knowledge of how to use these herbs played a vital role in the life of the Maroon communities. At that time in history, there was no easy access to medical doctors, therefore the medicine man or “bush doctor” was the person who continued African traditions. They were greatly respected and much sought after to heal people.
very good products from Jamaica.
About Us
Prophet Ashantti.
store owner/Herbalist
My name is Elleston Wright and I go by the name of Prophet Ashantti. I was born a direct descendant of Nanny of the Maroons. My ancestors are buried in the Moore Town/Nanny Maroon Town Cemetery located in the Rio Grande Valley of Portland, Jamaica.
At the age of 17, I began making roots for my family. By age 21, I was a full fledged Maroon Bush Doctor/Herbal Physician. I know full well that the Ashanti people from Africa transcended the secrets to the Maroons of Jamaica through Nanny the Maroon Queen, hence, I am a keeper of the Herbal Maroon Roots and Culture.
My African /Jamaican heritage I accept with pride and I am willing to share my knowledge and experiences with people worldwide. Over my 25 years of practicing, I have had the opportunity of healing and working with people as far away as America, Canada, England, Italy, France, Germany, Belgium, Africa, Mexico and many other international territories. I have been honored and challenged to work with people with a diverse set of ailments.
Right now I am willing and eager to serve and assist my worldwide family with my knowledge and experience in the new world healing process.
My African ancestors always said, “let your food be your medicine and your medicine be your food.”
Plant what you eat,and eat what you grow!
