In Africa traditional healers have used medicinal plants, sourced from the luscious forests, for centuries. One such village healer was Akua Asirifia who treated patients with asthma and other respiratory allergies such as hayfever with her special powder. By rule, traditional healers never disclose the source of their healing powders in order to protect the forest from abuse. However, in the mid 1980s when word of hundreds of patients reporting relief from their chronic respiratory conditions spread, Akua’s reputation grew.

When Akua’s grandson, Jerry Yamoa, migrated to the UK to work in the Postal Service, he was surprised by the number of his colleagues who suffered from asthma. Jerry approached his grandmother one last time to see if she would share her secret before she passed away. Jerry Yamoa introduced ‘Yamoa™ Powder’ to the UK in the mid 1990s where it has been used by many thousands of people and even appeared on TV.

Since that time, researchers such as those at Montana State University's Department of Immunology and Infectious Diseases, have independently sought research funding to seek and study its active compounds. They have had some success, and now understand what in Yamoa™ might be responsible for its powerful healing attributes.

The first video below introduces you to Jerry Yamoa, filmed for Carlton TV's London Today programme back in 1998...the second video is a recent webinar which looks at the various studies that have been conducted on Yamoa™ to date.

The many positive customer reviews sparked interest in the research community where scientists all over the world have initiated and published their own studies. Some of which can be read here.
