Dr. Adebola Latifat Adeyemi epitomises what love and care for humanity mean. She’s an upwardly mobile woman who has not only done so well for herself, but has compassionately done so much to impact others whose paths cross with hers. As a multiple international certified natural medicine expert, she has embarked on a mission to ensure optimal wellness of every soul through natural healing using natural solutions.
Adebola, an English graduate from the University of Ibadan who started off as a journalist about two decades ago, didn’t become a naturopathic doctor because she doesn’t believe in modern medicine. Far from it. She is only on a mission to ensure there is an integration of natural medicine into Nigeria’s healthcare system after a painful personal experience that guided her towards the healing powers of naturopathic therapies.
According to her, that experience she had about a decade ago not only alleviated symptoms but also transformed lives and gave birth to her Khasmal Holistic Naturopathic Health Centre.
In advancement of this integrative healthcare service and to meet the needs of those who are fast giving naturopathic medicine a trial, Adebola officially unveiled her ultra-modern premier holistic health clinic on Wednesday April 16, the day she turned 49, in grand style. The new health facility situated in Ikeja, Lagos, was commissioned by the Lagos State Commissioner for Health, Prof. Akin Abayomi, who was represented by the Registrar, Lagos State Traditional Medicine Board (LSTMB) Prince Babatunde Adele. The clinic offers an array of services such as acupuncture, cupping, colon hydrotherapy, pelvic floor therapy, body composition analysis and well-woman examinations. The facility also sells herbs and supplements, which is a big part of her practice.
Adebola’s ultimate goal is to treat the root cause of any health challenge using affordable, holistic and natural healthcare solutions not only to the wealthy but all Nigerians seeking a comprehensive approach to wellness. With the opening of Khasmal Clinic, Adebola is poised to earn the sobriquet of Queen of Alternative Medicine as more people embrace the natural solutions and entrust their treatment to her at the facility she described as not just a clinic but a healing sanctuary.
