In Kenya, many people still visit traditional healers. Some do it quietly, others talk about it openly. But the truth is, traditional healing is part of our culture, and for many, it still works.
People don’t just go to a traditional healer when they are sick. They go when they feel stuck in life. When something is wrong but they can’t explain it. When they’ve tried everything else, and nothing seems to help.
One common reason people visit traditional healers is when they feel bad luck is following them. A person might keep losing jobs, failing in business, or watching their relationships fall apart. When life starts to feel like a series of problems with no break, many believe it’s time to seek spiritual help.
Others go to traditional healers when they feel like someone is working against them. It could be jealousy from a friend, a family curse, or even suspected witchcraft. When strange things start to happen — like sudden sickness, bad dreams, or constant stress — they know it might be more than just normal life.
Traditional healers also help with love and marriage. Couples who fight all the time, people who keep losing partners, or those who want to find true love often seek guidance from a healer. They want peace in their homes and strong, lasting relationships.
Then there are those who visit because of money problems. When someone keeps losing money, or business doesn’t grow no matter how hard they try, they turn to spiritual help. In many cases, they feel blocked — like success is just out of reach.
Sometimes, people also go for blessings. Before starting a new job, opening a business, or making a big decision, they want to make sure they are protected. They want things to move smoothly and not face unexpected problems along the way.
For women and families, another reason is fertility. When a woman struggles to conceive, or keeps losing pregnancies, many turn to herbal and spiritual methods passed down from elders. These methods are believed to help open the body and spirit for new life.
The reason why people still visit traditional healers is not always because of problems. Some just want answers. They want to understand their dreams, know their future, or get advice on the direction of their life.
And most of all, people want hope.
Even in this modern age, not everything has a medical or logical solution. Sometimes, you need to look deeper. Traditional healers offer that — a spiritual way of understanding what’s going on in your life, and how to change it.
In Kenya, spiritual problems are real for many people. That’s why traditional healing continues to play an important role. It is not about going back to the past. It is about finding peace in the present.
If you have ever felt like nothing is working and you don’t know why, just know that there is always another way to get help.
