Ewe Abamoda fun Asiri Bibo (Why People Believe Ewe Abamoda Can Attract Money)
In Yoruba culture, plants aren’t only valued for their medicinal power but also for their symbolic energy.
Ewe Abamoda (miracle leaf) is a hardy plant that grows quickly, survives even when cut, and can sprout new life from a single leaf.
Because of this unusual ability to “multiply” and “renew,” many traditions associate it with abundance, prosperity, and protection.
Over time, rituals developed around it for attracting luck or money (asiri bibo).
While these symbolic uses form part of Yoruba cultural heritage, there is no scientific proof that Ewe Abamoda itself can bring wealth or luck.
However, its medicinal benefits are well documented: it has been used for high blood pressure, coughs and so on.
If you see it in a spiritual way, treat it as a part of Yoruba tradition.
But for physical results, rely on its proven medicinal uses and combine that with real steps like learning a skill, or starting a small business.

My Personal Experience with Ewe Abamoda (Miracle Leaf)
If you’re dealing with stomach ulcers and looking for something natural that actually works, this is what I recommend:
Chew fresh Ewe Abamoda leaves with groundnut on empty stomach in the morning.
That’s it. No boiling, no mixing. Just chew it raw with groundnut.
I first suggested this to a few of my neighbours. They tried it and by the next morning, they were already talking about how it helped them feel lighter and more relaxed.
Since then, they’ve been picking the leaves from my garden regularly (sometimes without asking but that’s another story).
