TCM Nigeria

I observed one trait from my Nigerian folks and it could be common among all people and that is the trait of being judgemental.  If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck Many of my Nigerian friends believe the Halloween celebration is demonic maybe because it looks scary, the activities and costumes look devilish but it is worthy of note that Halloween is actually a Christian holiday. It originated from Christianity and it’s a day to celebrate the eve of all saint day. The day to remember Christian’s (Saints) who have slept in the Lord. It is usually celebrated with a vigil and people abstain from eating animal product and become vegetarian.  TCM Nigeria would like to talk about the mental health aspect of this celebration and also the consumption of vegetables. The Halloween holiday is always celebrated on the 31st of October which is the eve of All saint day celebrated on the 1st of November and All Souls’ Day on the second (2nd)

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.

 We had discussed cannabinoid in a lot of our post and now we are visiting it in homeostasis.

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.
