Tea and medicine

The Chinese have contributed enormously to culinary works; one which include the discovery of the leaf tea. Although the tea tree grows in China and some part of India, we have myth covering the  origin of tea.


It was discovered serendipitously by a Chinese emperor (Emperor Shen Nong) who was boiling water in his garden. The tea leave fell into his boiling water. He suddenly loved the aroma of the water and he decide to take a sip, so came the birth of tea drinking. The emperor being a good ruler and scientist decide to research on the tea leaf. He was able to discover the medicinal properties of the tea leave.


The tea leaf especially the green tea is very medicinal to the body. It serves as good antioxidants to help the body burn fat easily and thus enhance the muscles endurance. It helps prevent against cardiovascular disease, cancer and free radicals. Tea contains oxygen Radicals absorbing capacity (ORAC) which absorbs free radicals that damage the DNA. Though the body is designed to absorb those radicals themselves but using a little help by taking tea could prevent degeneration caused by gene mutations.

We have three major kinds of tea which are the black, the red and the green tea. But herbal teas also go along way in one’s health because of what is infused in it. We have some tea rich in Ganoderma lucidum which are mushrooms with important health benefits. I believe organo-gold produces it. We have the danshen tea which is a very good root for cardiovascular issues. Tasly and green life produces fine herbal tea with danshen. All this and many more herbal products are include in our TCM mobile app which is free. But for policy issues, it’s no longer on play store but it could be available for free if one request for it through an email or any of our social media platforms.

Let’s make tea drinking a lifestyle for healthy living.

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 (
