KIGELIA

Do you know that historically, trees and forests played an important role in the sacredness and mystery of many African populations? Of course, this depended closely on the values ​​of each ethnic group. Thus, we attributed to a plant, fruit or tree advantages that we could have perceived by bitterness, astringency or any other flavor, taste, smell, but also by the characteristics and strengths that it seemed clear.

This is the case with the fruits of Kigelia which were used for facial and skin care, but not only. Originally, in many beliefs, this tree, recognizable by its large, woody fruits, was considered the type tree of fertility because of the resemblance of its fruits to male organs. The popular subconscious translated this into supernatural faculties that could be beneficial in matters of procreation. Every nursing woman would hang a piece of cloth on the tree to seek protection and numerous offspring.
