Sangomas

Sangomas are traditional healers in Southern Africa, especially among Zulu communities, who act as spiritual guides and healers. They communicate with ancestors and spiritual forces to diagnose illnesses, offer remedies, and provide guidance. Sangomas undergo special training and often use herbs, rituals, and divination tools to address physical, emotional, and spiritual issues. Their role is deeply rooted in cultural and spiritual traditions, serving as a bridge between the living and ancestors, and they are respected figures within their communities for their wisdom and connection to spiritual realms.
