Free from the harmful chemicals commonly found in industrial soaps, SAGBADEWE — a name derived from Yoruba meaning “so agba di ewe” (that the old may become youthful) — is made from powerful anti-aging medicinal herbs rooted in Yoruba folk medicine. These herbs, used for centuries, are the core ingredients in both the SAGBADEWE soap and its companion syrup.
The 80-gram tablet soap continues to evolve as users share new observations and testimonials. For now, here’s what we know about its benefits as a bath soap:
- Transdermal Absorption
The active herbal ingredients are absorbed through the skin via transdermal pathways, entering the body through nerve endings. This makes the soap a therapeutic agent, not just a cleansing product.
- Nervous System Relaxation
These ingredients produce a calming effect on the central nervous system, peripheral nerves, and muscles. Users report a reduction in bodily tension and mental stress.
- Promotes Deep, Restorative Sleep
The calming effect often leads to restful, uninterrupted sleep — especially REM sleep (Rapid Eye Movement), the deepest and most restorative sleep stage. In REM sleep, the brain is highly active, the large muscles are relaxed, and dreams occur.
Why do the eyes move behind closed lids while the body sleeps? Because the spirit — the true self — is active. In this view, the spirit governs the body. When the spirit is strong, the body is energized. When it is weak or burdened, so is the body. Sleep medications often ignore this spiritual connection, which is why they may not offer lasting relief.
REM sleep helps process emotions, repair the body, improve memory, and increase metabolic activity. Unfortunately, many people struggle to reach this stage. They toss and turn, suffer from restless leg syndrome, or wake up feeling exhausted — all signs that the spirit did not properly rejuvenate the body during the night.
Contrast this with the deep sleep of childhood — the kind of sleep so profound you wouldn’t hear your name called, only to wake feeling as if you’d traveled to another realm. That’s the kind of rest SAGBADEWE may help restore.
- Blood Pressure Regulation
There are multiple reports of significant reductions in high blood pressure following the consistent use of SAGBADEWE soap. This suggests it may have anti-hypertensive properties.
- Convulsion Prevention
Users have reported cases where the soap and syrup appeared to help prevent or halt convulsions — a promising possibility for those prone to seizures.
- Pain Relief
The natural ingredients are known for their pain-relieving qualities, making SAGBADEWE a potential addition to pain management routines — especially for arthritis and muscular aches.
- Skin Healing
SAGBADEWE also supports the skin. Users report improvements in conditions such as athlete’s foot and other skin blemishes or infections.
- Foot Health and Reflexology
The soap’s anti-microbial properties shine during foot care, particularly in pedicures. In Reflex Zone Therapy, it’s believed that all parts of the body are connected to the feet. Massage and cleansing of the feet with SAGBADEWE may help relieve tension and promote overall healing.
Many feet are cracked and scaly, especially at the heels — open doors to infection. Washing the feet daily with SAGBADEWE, or even leaving the lather on overnight, may improve both foot and systemic health.
Who Can Benefit?
SAGBADEWE is ideal for anyone living a high-stress lifestyle — soldiers, police officers, journalists, teachers, doctors, nurses, drivers, traffic wardens, judges, politicians, and more. These individuals often go to bed drained and tense, making them prime candidates for the calming and restorative effects of this natural remedy.
