Passion for helping people live their best lives is what drives Naseema

Passion for helping people live their best lives is what drives Naseema

Naseema Vorajee is not your typical therapist, she is fully trained traditional healer with decades of healing knowledge, together with her qualified medical doctor daughter Leila she practices her trade from a discreet consultation studio in Sydenham, Durban.

Fashion designer by trade, Naseema stumbled upon Cannabis through her father-in- law prostrate cancer diagnosis. It was a turning point in the family dynamic, as the traditional medicine was making her father in law more ill and did very little for the side effects of the pharmaceuticals that he was suppose to take to help with his ailments. Cannabis helped with variety of issues related to his wellbeing, from improving his appetite to helping him sleep more soundly.

"The big C affects many people in our lives." Naseema told The Bugle, "After going the traditional route of chemotherapy, radiation, etc. and him developing Parkinson and bipolar from the meds, we decided to try alternative methods, which brought us straight to the Cannabis, as my father in law eventually developed contra reactions to all the medications."

"The fist batch of Cannabis resin arrived through the courier from Cape Town based Dagga Couple who were pioneering the Cannabis movement in South Africa. It was delivered to my door and it was highly stigmatised and demonised within our community. But we saw immediate affect and my father in law diagnosis went into remission."

It was at this point that Naseema started studying and absorbing everything she could find to get as much knowledge on the healing aspects of Cannabis and how she can help not just her nearest and dearest but the community at large. Naseema started growing her own plants, doing her own extractions and producing medical grade Cannabis to treat her now cancer free father in law.

"The Cannabis journey has been a true revelation." Naseema continues, "Since embarking on this voyage of discovery I have not looked back and like fashion design is a passion, Cannabis has become a passion to me, and healing or even just relieving symptoms has become my priority which I find both stimulating and rewarding. However it is seeing and hearing positive feedback from my clients that makes it all worthwhile."
