Osanyin

The Master of the Forest and the keeper of all herbal secrets. Osanyin is the divine pharmacist who knows the "language of the leaves" and the healing power of every plant. Often depicted with one leg, one arm, and one eye to show that physical wholeness is not a requirement for spiritual power, he represents the science of nature. Without Osanyin, the other Orishas have no medicine. He is the whisper of the trees and the bitter taste of the cure that saves the soul.
