For centuries, West African women have passed down plant knowledge. Today, modern science confirms what grandmothers already knew: certain African health plants are treasures for women's well-being.
At Nafassi, we have selected the most precious ones to create our women's wellness infusions. Here are the 5 plants you need to know.
1. Moringa — the tree of life
Nicknamed the miracle tree in Africa, moringa contains an exceptional amount of iron, vitamin C, and antioxidants. For women prone to chronic fatigue or iron deficiencies — especially during menstruation — it is an irreplaceable companion. It can be found in our Iron Boost, combined with nettle.
2. Bissap — the blood-red hibiscus
Bissap is that deep red flower enjoyed throughout West Africa. Rich in anthocyanins and vitamin C, it aids digestion, helps reduce bloating, and gently supports the figure. It is the star ingredient of our Minci infusion.
3. Lemongrass — smooth digestion
Traditionally used in Africa for its digestive and soothing properties, lemongrass is the friend of overly heavy meals. It calms bloating and promotes regular transit.
4. Djeka — the intimate secret of African women
Djeka is a traditional West African plant, used for generations by women to support intimate flora and daily balance. Its rarity in Europe makes it a true treasure. It is found in Nafassi Intime, formulated in collaboration with Dr. Adama Marie Bangoura.
5. Khamaré — rediscovered feminine balance
Khamaré complements djeka in our Intime infusion. Recognized for its benefits on feminine comfort and natural balance, it is a key plant in traditional feminine rituals.
How to incorporate these African health plants into your daily life?
The simplest method: infusion. A cup every day, like a ritual. Not a diet, not a punishment — a moment for yourself.
At Nafassi, we have gathered these plants in 3 women's wellness infusions:

100% natural, without laxatives, without chemicals. The ritual your grandmothers would have loved.
