Welcome to Mboma Herbal

Mboma herbal remedies have been passed down through generations of Mboma healers. It was first created by Absolom Sikakana, a devout Lutheran preacher and respected community healer, born in 1887 in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. During the week, he used herbs grown on his own banana plantation to treat neighbours with traditional remedies. At weekends, opened and closed ANC rallies with prayer, alongside leaders like Chief Albert Luthuli, the then President of the ANC, in the fight for justice. His deep knowledge of indigenous plants, recorded in his own handwriting in the 1930s, became a lifeline for those around him.

In 1993, Absolom’s grandson Mboniseni ‘Teddy’ Sikakana began bottling the original family formula, continuing the legacy of healing that had long served his community. Named after isiHlahla si-ka-Mbôma (Mboma’s Bush), a sacred Zulu place of healing, Mboma is more than just a tonic, it’s a bridge between past and present, tradition and wellbeing. This carefully blended remedy supports natural treatment for digestion, high blood pressure, and overall vitality.

Now begins a new chapter for Mboma. With refreshed branding and packaging, this trusted herbal remedy, loved by families in South Africa for nearly 30 years is now available in the worldwide.
