Did you know that the legacy of slavery, sickle cell disease, and malaria are deeply connected in Black health history? In this eye-opening episode of The Melanin Wellness Podcast, we uncover how historical trauma, genetics, and ancestral healing practices have shaped the health of Black communities worldwide.
We’ll explore how sickle cell disease—a condition that predominantly affects people of African descent—developed as a genetic response to malaria resistance, and how the transatlantic slave trade impacted Black health for generations. More importantly, we’ll discuss ancestral remedies, holistic healing, and herbal medicine that have been used for centuries to combat illness and restore balance.
If you’re passionate about Black history, holistic wellness, and reclaiming ancestral knowledge, this episode is a must-listen. Whether you're a Black woman looking for empowering health discussions, someone interested in herbal remedies, or simply eager to understand how the past influences Black health today, this conversation will leave you with powerful insights.
✨ Tune in now to reconnect with the wisdom of our ancestors and reclaim your health! ✨
