This Magazine

The aim of Pax Herbal Magazine is to re-assimilate, re-understand and re-express ancient African philosophy [indigenous knowledge] in light of modern, scientific knowledge [exogenous knowledge]. African Medicine, that is, the science of life, is at the centre of African philosophy. Life, for the African, is indeed the ultimate value. By exploring the multi-faceted dynamism of healing in Africa, Pax Herbal Magazine is championing a medical revolution that is all-embracing, holistic, African and global.

The Science

After years of repudiating ancient wisdom, science is now validating the wisdom of the ancients. Discoveries in quantum physics, radiology and electromagnetic force have changed the way scientists look at the world. The human body is made up of electronic vibrations. Each atom, element, organ or organism has its own energy field or electronic unit of vibration necessary for the sustenance of life. Our bodily tissues are fed by oxygen, glucose and chemical nutrients as well as by higher vibrational energies which endow the physical form with the properties of life and creative expression. The idea of the body as dense matter has given way to a new vision of the human person as dynamic, energetic and spiritual. Modern medicine has now recognized this fact, and so have developed energy methods of treatment. Therapeutic radiation to treat cancer, electricity to halt pain, and electromagnetic fields to stimulate healing of fractures are new developments in medicine based on the fact that we are energy beings. The human person is unique and special. We are not aimless wanderers in this world but people with a purpose. Healing happens when we know what our purpose in life is. Healing is not just about pain relief or avoidance of suffering. Healing is a transformation of worldviews.
