The mystery of sneezing- Alhaji Akanayo

Sneezing  
The Founder of Black Herbal Clinic, Alhaji Akanayo, has again taken time of his busy schedules to throw light on the rational behind sneezing.
Speaking on the Nsem Pii Show, Happy FM, the Herbalist also known as the ‘Dabodabo Man’ said that the current generation of Ghana has taken things for granted that they do not consider the rational behind the happenings around them.
He noted that sneezing signifies the existence of ‘life’ in a person. “Our fore fathers were so wise that in the olden days when one sneezed, the other person close
to him or her would say ‘long life’.” He argued that it was not just for saying sake but rather a way of confirming and affirming life onto the person who sneezed.
Alhaji Akanayo also said that in the time past, a person brought to a herbalist for healing would be given a medicine to test as to whether the person will sneeze or not. Sneezing, he added, that the person would be healed and not sneezing suggested the sick person would die. “As a matter of fact, no person at the edge of death sneezes,” he said.
He encouraged Ghanaians to embrace herbal medicine since it is of good value to their health. However, he cautioned the general public to be circumspect in buying herbal medicine since there are fake herbalists in town.
