In Santería (the Orisha-Ifá tradition), the use of boards related to Oshún is generally linked to divination, ebbo (offering/work), and the natural medicine she represents as the owner of the fresh waters. Although the best-known divination board is that of Ifá (Orula), medicine boards are used to channel Oshún's energies for healing, fertility, prosperity, and love.
Divination and Diagnosis (Treatise on the Boards): They are used in divination rituals to identify the cause of illnesses or blockages, particularly those related to fertility, the lower abdomen, the liver, or the blood, areas under Oshún's influence.
Preparation of Healing Ebbo (Works): Oshún is the Orisha of sweetness and love, but also a powerful healer. Offerings with yellow elements, honey, cinnamon, and fresh plants (such as Achibata) are prepared on the board to refresh and heal.
Consecration of Elements: It is used to consecrate elements of protection and economic development (such as gold, copper, or river stones) that are offered to her to attract good luck.
