Popularly known by her admirers as Mama Mimi, Dr. Chinyere Precious Eze, a naturopath by profession, had tremendous love for natural medicine while growing up. This love grew out of understudying of her grand father who was a renowned natural medicine practitioner in Igbo land.
The naturopath who describes herself as a woman called by God to bring sunshine to people through natural medicine speaks to Good Health Weekly on her numerous breakthroughs in natural medicine. Excerpts:
"Initially, it was just a profession I inherited from my grand father. He was a renowned natural medical practitioner in Ibo land. I was like a protégée to him when he was alive. I used to follow him to the bush to source for herbs. Then I watched him handle seemingly hopeless situations.
There was this case of a woman who was barren for 21 years. When they came to my grandfather, my childish mind told me it was a hopeless situation, but to my amazement I watched my father turn it around. The funny part was that I was a participant to the whole thing.
He took me to the bush where we got the herbs, and then he insisted the husband of the woman must take part in the whole process. He prepared herbs for both of them, and told them to take it religiously for one month. The woman took in later, and delivered a set of twins. Not only, that case, I watched my grand father handle cases of fibroid, low sperm count, impotence and other ailment.
All this happened in my formative years, and I made up my mind then to follow in my grand father's footstep. Since then I have done more studies, and research on natural medicine. Above all I sensed mine is a divine call from God to bring sunshine to people that have health challenges.
Before my grand father's death, he called me and prayed for me. He specifically told me to continue in his profession, that I would record breakthroughs. But then, I felt it was just a hobby, but I was steadfast. Later I found out that to me it was no longer just a hobby, I felt the pain and anguish of my patients, and in feeling that anguish, I immerse myself into looking for a solution.
Most times I pray to God to give me direction. I travel as far as Mali and other African countries to source for herbs. It was at this point that I discovered that God has a hand in what I am doing, that I am called to bring sunshine to those in the darkness of illness, diseases and other health challenges. And this feeling gave birth to Mama Mimi Nature Clinic.
I am Mama Mimi in the Nature Clinic is about herbs, nothing else. It is just natural, what God created for our use. Most of these ailments come from our abuse of nature. When you eat what you're not supposed to eat, when you don't eat what you're supposed to eat, you have problems, and you must go back to nature to correct it.
For example, if you are a woman, and you eat a lot of carbohydrates, it causes fibroid. You have infections that are not treated; it may block your fallopian tubes. We specialise in herbal remedies with a wide selection of effective potent 100 per cent natural remedies and treatments. God has made provisions for all this.
Mama Mimi Nature Clinic is committed to curing through herbs and making available new and important breakthroughs in both curative and preventive medicine using only herbs. The God of heaven, who created us, has given us the simple things of nature for our healing.
Since we started formally several years ago, we have had no regrets. There are herbal remedies for more than 50 ailments and health conditions. Now, it is amazing that most of these remedies are even within our reach.
For instance one sees men with sexual dysfunction running from pillar to post seeking solution even when the solution is right within them.
A healthy diet and regular exercise is sure to improve your sex drive when you live right, avoiding stress, overindulgence in food, alcohol. Also, loose fitting trousers and cotton undergarments allow the testicles to hang away from the body and maintain a lower temperature - essential to healthy sperm production.
We can also mix these healthful habits with horny goats weed which helps to promote sexual desire and has been regarded for years in China and Japan as a natural sexual stimulator. It is believed to promote healthy seminal emissions and encourages systemic harmony of the prostate gland and seminal vesicles.
Goat Weed has long been used as sexual tonic in Chinese herbal medicine to encourage sexual performance and healthy sperm production thus promoting sexual energy, and overall well being. These are studies and researches we have made.
Our research also shows that God did not lie. There shall be no barren woman in the land. There are conditions that cause barrenness. If you handle these conditions, and follow up with herbs, fruits of the womb follow. Nature therapies don't fail, whether it is high blood pressure, arthritis or rheumatism.
These days, people are talking about energy drinks, when kolanut is nature's energy booster. It contains ingredients that are used to lessen common fatigue and supports the body's natural ability to replenish it's routine energy levels. People who suffer from most health problems will greatly benefit from herbal therapy."
