About this ebook
Path to Ifetherapy is the first book on Massage to Ifetherapy to emerge from the Atlantic Yoruba, Nigeria, Africa. Based on the traditional method used by the keepers of traditions, Ifetherapy still has its curative power today--in the name of Creator-Philosopher God/Olodumare, to conjure up the spirit of wellness and heal the body from head to toe, as it used to do during the ancient times.
