Adebola Adeyemi’s Mission to Ensure Optimal Wellness

Dr. Adebola Latifat Adeyemi epitomises what love and care for humanity mean. An upright,upwardly mobile woman who has not only done so well for herself,but has compassionately done so much to impact others whose paths cross with hers.

When Dr. Adebola tells people she is a naturopathic doctor,the most common response she likely gets is,“Oh,you are in Hijab and don’t have dreadlocks.” She gets that a lot but often does free few minute consultations so people can meet her and know that she’s not one ‘crazy’ witch doctor who keeps a cauldron in the backyard.

As a multiple international certified natural medicine expert and Hijama therapist,Adebola is on a mission to ensure optimal wellness of every soul through natural healing using natural solutions. Adebola —who started as a journalist nearly two decades ago— didn’t become a naturopathic doctor because she doesn’t believe in modern medicine. Far from it. She actually did but only on a mission to ensure there is an integration of natural medicine into Nigeria’s healthcare system after a painful personal experience that guided her towards the healing powers of wet Hijama cupping and other naturopathic therapies —approaches that not only alleviate symptoms but also transform lives.

According to her,that experience she had about a decade ago,gave birth to Khasmal Holistic Naturopathic Health Center,dedicated to providing affordable,holistic and natural healthcare solutions not only to the wealthy but all Nigerians seeking a comprehensive approach to wellness.

In advancement of this integrative healthcare service,Adebola officially unveiled her ultra-modern premier holistic health clinic on Wednesday April 16 – a day she turned 49 – to meet the needs of those who are fast giving naturopathic medicine a trial. The new health facility – situated in Ikeja,Lagos – was commissioned by the Lagos State Commissioner for Health,Prof. Akin Abayomi,who was ably represented by the Registrar,Lagos State Traditional Medicine Board (LSTMB),Prince Babatunde Adele.

At the clinic,Adebola and her support staff offer an array of services such as acupuncture,cupping,colon hydrotherapy,pelvic floor therapy,body composition analysis and well-woman examinations. The facility also sells herbs and supplements,which is a big part of her practice.

Adebola’s ultimate goal is to treat the root cause of any health challenge.

With the opening of Khasmal Clinic,Adebola is poised to earn the sobriquet of Queen of Alternative Medicine as more people embrace the natural solutions and entrust their treatment to her at the facility she described as “not just a clinic but a healing sanctuary grounded in the fundamental principles of naturopathic medicine: do no harm,prioritise prevention,and honour the unique needs of every individual who walks through our doors to achieve optimal health and well-being through natural,non-invasive,and evidence-based healing modalities.”
