The Grace Story
The following illustrates the inspiration behind the creation of GRACE, as told from the perspective of one of the founders:
GRACE, my beloved grandmother, holds a special place in my heart and in the story of my life. She was not just a grandmother to me; she was a healer, a guardian angel who saved me from the grips of illness during my early years in Nigeria.
Growing up as the middle child of three to a young single mother, I was plagued by mysterious illnesses that no one could fully explain. I remember vividly the struggles of being bow-legged and x-legged at one point, a physical manifestation of the battles my body was waging against these ailments. Despite receiving adult antibiotics, my health continued to deteriorate, leaving my tooth enamel scarred as a reminder of the failed treatments.
But my grandmother, may Yah bless her soul, refused to see me succumb to these illnesses. She understood the importance of family legacy, especially for the first grandson. Despite growing up with limited resources, she possessed an incredible knowledge of herbal remedies passed down through generations. Twice a month, she would concoct mixtures of herbs and administer them to my sister and me through enemas, a practice I detested but recognized its effectiveness in keeping illness at bay.
Yet, it was her intuitive solution to my mystery illness that truly saved me. I still recall the pain of her making cuts on my cheek and applying a mixture of herbs, charcoal, and salt. The agony was intense, but it was a small price to pay for the relief that followed. Miraculously, the illness vanished, never to return again.
As I grew older, I developed a skepticism towards Western medicine, preferring to rely on the wisdom of traditional herbal remedies. Moving to Germany only reinforced my belief in the power of natural healing, as I learned to overstand the exploitation of indigenous knowledge by pharmaceutical giants.
Inspired by my grandmother's wisdom and my own experiences, I founded our company, naming it after her to honor her legacy. GRACE, symbolizes not only her role in my life but also the grace that Yah had granted me with, as I got a second chance at life in a world where infant mortality rates loomed high. We reject the notion of Western medicine as the default, seeing it as a profit-driven industry that exploits natural resources and indigenous knowledge.
Our mission is to provide high-quality herbs and empower others with the knowledge to take control of their health. We challenge the status quo of the pharmaceutical industry, urging individuals to question the motives behind conventional medicine and reclaim their well-being. Grace Full of Health is not just a business; it's a testament to the healing power of nature and the resilience of the human spirit.
