A South African term — drawn from Zulu and other Nguni languages — for traditional African medicine, including herbal remedies, roots, animal parts, and other ingredients prescribed by traditional healers. Muti plays a significant role in everyday healthcare and spiritual practice across southern Africa. While the word is neutral and widely used, it occasionally appears in darker contexts involving illegal or dangerous practices.
