Dr. Llaila O. Afrika presents health as a unity of body, mind, and spirit grounded in African-centered principles, arguing that the nutritional and medical needs of people of African descent must be understood on their own terms. The book offers guidance on diet, herbs, fasting, and the prevention and treatment of disease, contrasting African holistic practice with Western commercial medicine. First issued in 1983 and revised through many editions, it remains a foundational text of the African holistic health movement.
