Introduction: The study focused on the experience of Jehovah's Witness parents with traditional treatment for anaemia in children, with the objectives of determining the experience of Jehovah's Witness parents and determining the type of treatment used for anaemia in children. Methods: This was a qualitative, phenomenological study based on a free, face-to-face interview with 5 Jehovah's Witness parents. Results: Respondents had experienced recurrent seizures and transfusion at the request of the caregiver, and the traditional treatment was effective and progressed well. Satisfaction was highest at each onset of anaemia attacks. The majority of respondents expected their children to be cured and survive, and they used oral and external solutions as routes of administration. Conclusion: Jehovah's Witness parents had experience of traditional treatment of anaemia in children and this treatment was effective.
