Fibromyalgia Syndrome and Hemp

We have discussed on this blog Osteoarthritis and we saw the magic of Bitter Kola and how effective it is in curbing the problem. We discuss the issue of prostrate cancer among men and blood pressure in our post titled "Now that I'm 50". Another very disturbing ailment is Fibromyalgia. Fibromyalgia syndrome(FMS) is a term for pattern of general pain without any visible sign of inflammation or signs.


                                                Fibromyalgia and Pain Regions.

Fibromyalgia is a disorder characterize by widespread of musculo-skeletal pain accompany with fatigue and sleeping disorder, memory and mood issue. Patient with Fibromyalgia suffers "fibro fog" (impaired ability to focus, pay attention and concentrate on mental task). And of course pain and fatigue (not to torture words).

Medicine cannot specifically pinpoint the cause of FMS but they see traces of family heredity, it can be triggered by physical and emotional trauma like car accident and other psychological trauma. Illness such as osteoarthritis can awaken it.

Fibromyalgia affect the way the brain processes pain signal thereby amplifies pain sensation. People with fibromyalgia (susceptible to women) suffers tension pain, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, irritable bowel syndrome, anxiety and depression. 

If we try to see some of TCM contribution to FMS, we shall discover that TCM had made progress in curbing pain which is the predominant symptoms of FMS. With our blog post, we try to introduce an early form of Tradition Chinese Medical (TCM) therapy to help for pains called zone therapy We also suggested a simple home TCM product for the pain Peppermint oil and Pain Relief. It is no longer news that almost 10 million persons with women carrying the highest number suffers from FMS and about 3% - 6% of the world population spread across both gender and age demography suffers from FMS.




We in our previous post have discussed hemp-seed-oil and we established that when the hemp is processed in oil, the psychoactive compound (THC) is reduce thereby reduce its psycho-activity.  So hemp oil well processed is not psychoactive (doesn't make you high) but it possess its ability to relieve pain. Pain which is a major symptom of fibromyalgia can be curb by Hemp oil popularly called CBD derived from the compound highly found in it called Cannabidiol (CBD) and low traces of Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). CBD can be use to relieve pain dropping it sublingual (below the tongue). This works faster than ingesting it in food and capsules because it goes faster to the blood stream. It can be applied to our cooking like brownies and it could be taken as capsule form. It takes longer time to breakdown in food and capsule compare to taking it sublingual. It can also be applied on sore muscles through massages it takes effect immediately but last for a shorter while compared to when ingested. The quickest of all is to smoke CBD with a vaporizer or e-liquid oil.

CB1 Receptor and Homeostasis

 We had discussed cannabinoid in a lot of our post and now we are visiting it in homeostasis. The importance of it (cannabinoid) cannot be over emphasized, one of our first blog was on hemp seed oil and we have profer CBD for fibromyalgia and also talked about it as a possible remedy for the Novel COVID-19 virus pandemic that took the world by storm. Now we want to discuss homeostasis. Before I continue, I would like to say why I chose to blog on it. I recently travelled to a region of different weather condition, nevertheless, the theme of this blog is focus on Nigeria so don't worry my Nigerian friends, we shall still talk about alternative health for that demography and FYI, homeostasis is applicable to everyone irrespective of your region. In Nigeria, we are used to having air-condition and we condition the temperature to 16-18 degree Celsius. I now found myself in an environment where I have to live in a temperature that is -4 or less degree Celsius. I remember in Nigeria w

Boyhood and Fatherhood

  Today being Father’s Day the 18th of June 2023, we have heard a lot about who indeed a father is? My friend trying to define who a father is, she answered in her words and I quote: tomorrow is for Men that have the courage to stay and carry responsibility of a child.  Not for baby dads who can only show penis as manhood   We really do not understand what is going on to the men of our generation, they are no longer around to witness the development of their children anymore. This post is really not focused on that but on what transforms a boy from a boy to a Man. We could gather from our little findings that what transform boys to fathers is their ability to take responsibilities. I want to believe that most of the men find themselves into Fatherhood without adequate preparation so the best and the easiest way out of the situation is to run away. Many of the boys got no sex education and are not just equip on how to handle responsibilities or when to prepare for responsibilities. To s

Medical Side Effect

 When I think about this practice, my thoughts goes back to the first invasion of smallpox to the world. Many people believe that the survival of smallpox becomes immune to the sickness, so there was a practice  then called viriology.  The process of infecting people with the small pox virus and trying to cure it so they can stay immune to smallpox.  This practice left most of their survivals blind but a good number survived it until Edward Jenner discovered that victims infected with cowpox are naturally immune to smallpox which brought about the study and practice of immunology.  Cowpox was not just a protection from smallpox, but was also communicable with the ability to transmit from one person to the other given it a wide protection from small pox, till it was announced that smallpox had been completely eradicated from the world. Irrespective of the fact that it prevented smallpox, it still leavse its victims with symptoms of fever, headache, malaise, vomiting etc. These effects (
