The hidden side of Kayamata is more shocking than many people expect. Known widely as “love potions” or charm products, Kayamata has moved from whispered market conversations into mainstream discussion after revelations about the extreme steps some women take to control men for love or money.
In a GhanaWeb documentary, Sarah, a Kayamata dealer who travels across West Africa to source charms, described practices that left many viewers disturbed. She said women seeking influence over wealthy partners are often taken to shrines where they undergo painful and frightening rituals. One claim that drew the most attention was that women are instructed to sleep with snakes as part of the process. “You will sleep with the snake because the bigger the sacrifice you’re willing to make, the bigger the things you’ll get from the rich man,” she stated in the video.
Sarah also alleged that Kayamata is no longer limited to herbs and incense. According to her, human blood is sometimes collected and used to formulate everyday products. She claimed it is mixed into soaps, body creams, makeup powders, and other items people use without knowing their origin. If true, that would mean the trade has moved beyond spiritual objects and into consumer goods, raising serious health and ethical questions.
These revelations have shocked audiences and sparked debate online. For many, the story highlights how far desperation can push people in the name of love, financial security, or control. Relationship experts and counselors point out that the desire for guaranteed affection or wealth often makes vulnerable people targets for exploitation by dealers who promise quick results.
Public health advocates have also raised concerns. Products made with unregulated ingredients and human biological material pose risks of infection, allergic reactions, and long-term health effects. Beyond physical danger, psychologists warn about the emotional toll of rituals that involve fear, secrecy, and coercion. Women who undergo such practices may experience trauma, while men targeted by charm products report feelings of confusion and loss of autonomy.
Legal experts note that selling products containing human tissue without consent violates health and criminal laws in Ghana and across West Africa. Authorities have, in the past, raided markets and arrested dealers over unapproved concoctions, but the trade persists underground because demand remains high….See More
