Efinrin Oso – Iwulo Ewe Efinrin Oso
Ewe Efinrin Oso is one of the lesser-known varieties of Efinrin (Scent Leaf) in Nigeria. Rarely found outside herbal circles, it is valued more for its specialized role in traditional healing than for everyday cooking.
Its presence in Yoruba herbal medicine highlights its significance, even if many Nigerians have never heard its name.

Iwulo Efinrin Oso – Traditional Uses and Benefits
One of the main uses of Efinrin Oso in Yoruba herbal healing is for managing typhoid.
The herb is often blended with other Efinrin types (like Wewe, Nla, and Obuniru), plus Ìsẹ̀ta — a dried, meat-like ingredient found at local herbal stalls (elewe ọmọ).
People use this mixture both as a drink and for steaming the body during treatment.

Step 4 – Separate for Drinking
Pour out a part of the herb into a cup and allow it to cool before drinking.
Step 5 – Prepare for Steam Therapy
1. Transfer the rest of the herbal mixture into a large bowl.
