A merry heart does good like medicine,” says the Holy Book. But how can one truly be merry when hope itself disappoints? As we enter the Christmas season, many of us face familiar realities — food and clothing prices soar, salaries are delayed, and expectations feel heavy. Yet, through songs and carols, we’re reminded to be joyful. Thankfully, platforms like Konga have made life easier this festive period. But beyond material comfort, there’s something deeper — the power of a joyful heart. Never let your current challenges, no matter how tough, steal your joy. Faith and medicine share one thing in common — belief . The hope we place in healing often determines how quickly we recover. I once met someone who relied solely on water and prayer whenever he fell ill — and he always got better. Before modern medicine discovered chemotherapy for malaria, people once saw malaria as a curse from the angel of death. That’s why Africa was called “the White ...

Cough is a reflex action to clear the throat of mucus and other substance that obstructs the breathing airways. cough is categorize into three: the acute cough which last for less than three weeks, sub-acute which last for between 3 to 8 weeks and the chronic cough which last for more than 8 weeks.

Another good morning to all of our readers and I'll still remind us that the Black Friday Christmas discount is still on with Jumia. Please take advantage of this offer (80% off), it comes once a year. Today we shall be talking about food? what is food? is alcohol food or intravenous fluid (drip)? Before I try to answer these complex questions, let me establish the fact that if you eat the right food, you have a high chances of not getting sick. In TCM, we prefer health maintenance through preventive measure, compare to corrective measures. That is why most people ridicule TCM because they prefer corrective measure. Many countries life expectancy is dropping. Nigeria is 47 years. Check your age and compare yourself to people in that country. The earlier we embrace preventive health, the better for us and nutrition is a bale out. FYI we collaborate with orthodox medicine and we are doing our best to limit most of the side effect from using chemotherapy. Back to the question, ...
We had discussed workaholic organ previously on this blog. And all our thoughts was centered on the liver. Nothwithstanding, we shall still talk about the liver, but we shall not exclude the kidney also. It's even highly recommended that one do kidney flush before doing the liver flushing. Liver flush is the process of cleaning the liver of gallstone. It is very beneficial to body because it improves the digestive system and helps to relieve pains from shoulders, arms, back and also improves ones general well being. Liver flush is always preceded by taking in apple juice(It could also be accompany with vegetables) two or three days before the flush. Liver flush is recommended to be done twice a year and it is recommended that one tries to eliminate any bacteria to enable the flush to clean lots of gallstones. We are to start from the month or teeth. We should ensure the teeth is free from bacterial or free metals. The procedure for the flush is not surgical at all, all ...
Writing this post close to Christmas tempts me to remind us about the Black Friday promotion of Jumia online store.

Jumia's Black Friday is long and it would be discounting 80% off all the product you buy from the 13th of this month till the 13th of next month. So looking for an opportunity to get traditional products at rock bottom price, now is the time.

Phytotherapy also called herbalism is a natural way of treating ailment by using herbs. If you are a good reader of our post, you would notice we had been discussing African traditional medicine. We had discussed bitter kola, moringa, dogonyaro, bitter leaf. I wanted to talk about ginger toda...
Measles is a respiratory disease that is highly communicable. It is transmitted by the mucus or saliva of an infected patent. It is airborne and could be transmitted when an affected persons sneezes or cough to the air. It is common among children but on a rare case adult contact it also. It's a very big cause of child mortality. World health organization (WHO) had recorded more than 100,000 children less than the ages of 5 whose life had been claimed by measles in 2016. One traditional way of treating measles is through Palm wine especial among adult. They drink and sometimes pour a little in their bucket of water when having their bath. Children uses coconut water instead of palm wine because of the alcoholic content of Palm wine. I like us to examine these practice to be sure if Palm wine really helps to solve measles or it's just a myth. Vaccine is usually given to children against measles called measles vaccine. No particular chemotherapy against measles but supportive...
Welcome again to another beautiful day and for my readers in African don't miss out on the upcoming black Friday sales. it's 80% discount on every product so happy Christmas shopping with Jumia. I am very excited since we started discussing African traditional medicine. Please don't miss out on the post tomorrow on "Muru drink" but today I like to discuss bitter leaf (botanically called Vernonia Amygdalina). In Nigeria, children sees bitter leaf juice and salt as punishment. They were told it is used in curing pile. So when parent discover their children developing sweet-tooth; It's bitter leaf juice time. So I saw it as parents excuse not to give their children pocket change for candy. But could they actually be saying the truth? Bitter leaf has the ability to grow anywhere unlike other plants which select a particular climate condition. It's rich in vitamin A, C, E, B1 and B2 and more importantly, it helps to tone vital organs like the liver ...
Malaria is a parasitic disease caused by plasmodium. Found in female anophilis mosquito. It is common among Africans and if you're a little observant you'll know we had been talking about African traditional medicine. We had discussed bitter kola, Moringa and now we want to discuss Neem commonly called dogonyaro in Nigeria. It's botanical name is Azadirachta Indica. Malaria goes with feverish symptoms. Headache, cold, and in ability to eat. Rear among the symptom is mental disorder popularly calld cerebral malaria which is flushed away with quinine. Malaria is commonly treated with Chloroquine or Artesunate. But cerebral malaria is normally treated with quinine. Quinine is also found in tonic drink. But the last time I checked, the side effect of quinine is very enormous. Effects like headache, ringing in the ears, trouble seeing, and sweating. More severe side effects include deafness, low blood platelets, and an irregular heartbeat. Quinine although was sy...
Moringa Oleifera commonly called moringa or drumstick is the most nutrient-rich plant on earth. They are used in traditional medicine to solve more than 300 ailment. It grows mostly in tropical areas. It is rich in vitamin A,B,C,D,E and minerals like potassium, calcium, iron, selenium, and magnesium. They are also rich in amino-acid which is scarce among plants. Breast feeding mothers uses it as milk stimulant. They are very good anti-oxidant to eliminating free radical which helps in warding off heart diseases. it is shown that taking one and a half tea spoon of moringa leaf powder everyday for three month significantly increases blood antioxidant. One thing people know moringa for is that it's used in treating diabetes. Moringa helps to lower blood sugar level in a drastic way. 30 women took seven grams of moringa everyday for 30days as a clinical trial and it was discovered that their fasting blood sugar was reduced by 13.5%. Isothiocyanates compound found in moringa lea...
Cactus belong to a family of plants called Cactaceae a family with 127 genres. Cacti the plural form for cactus is know for its moisturizing and skin smoothing pulp interior. Cactus exist mostly in places with drought. They exist in dessert even in Atacama dessert the driest place on earth. They have the ability to store water. They are always found succulent compared to where they are found. Cactus possess the ability to preserve the nutrient and water that is stored in the cell. Cactus are planted just for the inside of the plant which is a gel. The property of cacti to store and utilize moisture makes it a good moisturizer for the skin. It doesn't only deliver moisture to the lowest part of the skin but also train the skin to hold moisture. Just as cactus prevent evaporation of moisture for itself so it does the same for the skin and nothing keeps the skin healthy and vibrant than moisture in the skin. Cacti also works as an antioxidant which neutraliz...
We know we eat to get energy and it's measured in Calories. Just a quick reminder of elementary science. When one eats, food is being digested to glucose, amino-acid etc But glucose give the better energy and it is got from carbohydrate. Through respiration, the broken down compound (glucose) is converted into energy. Excess glucose is store in the liver or body muscles as glycogen to be used later. Here we try to examine the food one eat and energy it produces. If this energy is not consumed (or burnt out), it adds up to the body fat. Food Carbohydrate(in grams) Calories Group of Milk Chocolate milk (1 cup) ...
Phytotherapy has come to stay and people especially in Africa seek alternative solutions to medicine because they believe it's cheap. One major problem with the practice is that many are of the opinion that the medicine doesn't have a specific dosage to it and doubt if any of the herbs has been tested in the lab and studied to be sure it actually attacks the root cause of the disease or it only works on the symptom Read more to know about Herbalism. But something a little funny happened when the Ebola epidemic started in Nigeria where everyone wanted to find a vaccine against the virus. People seemed not to minded how silly the remedy could be, they went to the extent of taking their bath with salt. Not that salt bath (sea water or epsom salt) has no health benefit to the skin. We understand Ebola virus can be transmitted via body fluid but it's ridiculous to me that salt bath could be a possible vaccine for Ebola virus not disputing the fact that some solutions happen...
We have so many saying that doesn't encourage us to sleep. Let me start with the Holy books " Do not love sleep or you will grow poor; stay awake and you will have food to spare" (Prov 20:13 NIV). My lecturer do exhort us when he wants to teach us punctuality by saying "If you sleep all the time, what would you be doing when you're dead"? Others say why would you sleep for 8hrs a day? They say if you sleep 8hrs a day, you would have slept 10years of your life away when you are 30years. Now statements like this could be a good motivation towards achieving success because we hear most successful people complain that 24hrs isn't enough. Can we just examine why one needs to sleep a little extra. Clinical research trial was carried out on four grown adult on sleep disorder for three days, three out of the four had blood glucose level which makes them pre-diabetic. Research has show that the lack of good sleep could lead to heart disease, diabetes, and even ...

Oct 14 at 7:17pm · Seen Sat 7:17pm · Sent from Messenger " We had written a post on now that I'm fifty and many of the men where happy we never talked about them having serious issues at that prime age.

The prostate is a part of the male reproductive organ found at the exist of the bladder. Prostate cancer could be trace down to family genes. If ones father or brother had prostate cancer, there's a likelihood one could be susceptible. It is common among among elderly men and common among men who like fa...

In one of our post, we had discussed soaking plantain in water as a remedy to curing ulcer. Now we want to discuss cabbage water. Well cabbage water cures ulcer too but it is better than plantain water in the sense that, plantain contains iron that the body cannot digest but cabbage not only contain iron but also iodine, calcium, potassium, sulfur, phosphorus. It also contains vitamins A, B1, B2, B6, C, E, K and folic acid. Drinking alcohol destroys some useful bacteria for the digestive system. The best remedy is to quit alcohol but cabbage water can be an alternative therapy to it. Cabbage water test like it sounds. You can prepare it by placing cabbage water in water overnight. You could use the red or green but the red cabbage is more rich in vitamin C compare to the green. Add a little pinch of sea salt. Cabbage water is a little bitter so you could decide to add lemon and salt to help with the taste. If you know you like alcohol and you want something to replace th...
Well this blog is focused on health so many persons could infer that I want to talk about beautiful healthy life style to promote health and fitness living (making it an habit) but a little far from it. That post would come another day but today I like to talk about love. The holy books says "now abound faith, love and hope but the greatest of all is love". I tried thinking around it and I see love connects all together. Faith according to therapy heals in an unbelievable way. I had heard of how a believe (Faith) in water cured serious fever. Now we know faith connect us to the spiritual and love for your God and vice verse connect one to faith and gives one hope to live. Love could be pictured in three form. The love you have for things and animals, the ultimate love which God has for man and the love you have for another human being which they call Phileo . I am not preaching about your sexuality. Don't want to dive into it but I'm not a fan of sodomy. Still sp...
The reason for today's post was born out of a conversation with a friend who wasn't feeling fever and he was tested in the hospital to still have malaria parasite in his blood stream. He told me he doubted the result that if there wasn't a mistake in the test sample, then the hospital is just scamming people with their test result so I gave him a shocker by telling him 95% of Nigerians would be tested positive to malaria even if they don't feel malaria fever. It turned into a big argument, so I had to leave the scene. There's a very terrible Sexually transmitted disease (STD) that act like our argument. when one contact that disease as a male, you see a little sore on male genitals and just less than two weeks it disappears and one assume it had been conquered without medication. The STD would later appear in the future and may be this time it could had cause an impediment to child bearing (i.e. syphilis ). So it is very possible for a pathogen to remain in...
TCM stands for traditional Chinese medicine it has five basic practice in treating ailment but our focus is on phytotheraphy (the use of herbs in treating ailment). Now these herbs are now refined to look like drugs but it is not TCM practice to call them drugs. We prefer to call them medicine. Orthodox medicine is the conversion medical way to curbing ailment by visiting the hospital and seeing a doctor and he administers pharmaceutical drugs which they call chemotheraphy. This is the aspect of medicine we would consider today. They call theirs drugs while we call ours medicine. Many persons are discourage in using herbs because they believe the medicine could contain the necessary substance to cure the particular ailment that make them sick but they are afraid they may be taking overdose. If you are not sure of the herbs you prepare, we advise you to beware because some plant could be poison. Some persons are not credible so don’t trust their herbs. Orthodox chemotherap...
The age is a very wonder period in the life of man. It is at these age one celebrates golden jubilee. The idea of a jubilee in the Hebrew tradition is to stay away from your farm work to let the land fallow and before the jubilee year, the Jews are promised harvest that could sustain them for the jubilee year. What I mean and it is common among those of that age, they tend to relax and enjoy the works of their youth. It is a wonderful year in the life of a man and a year for one to be very conscious about his or her health so one could continue to live to enjoy a pain free golden jubilee. Some had never visited a dentist since they had been born and funny enough some had never checked their blood pressure. This is because you could not be feeling sick and still be hypertensive. And if you are hypertensive, you are susceptible to cardiac arrest or stroke. Let me quickly suggest a TCM product you could use to manage hypertension. Please read about it yourself. I will do a special b...
People looking at this blog would question the topic because I discuss traditional Chinese Medicine and you would wonder if they are dosage for herbs or food. Another could say since I was able to bring the usefulness of Hemp, maybe I want to encourage the taking of drug abuse so people can continue to get high. But far from the two thought. Many persons have a fair knowledge of what drug abuse is. Drug abuse is not solely going to the pharmacy to buy drugs that wasn't prescribe to you from a physician but it also include your not religiously taking the drugs as prescribe for you by the doctor. Let me give you an analogy in using orthodox medicine. Well before I jump into that, let me correct this erroneous idea that TCM doesn't work hand in hand with orthodox practice, We compliment orthodox medicine by suggesting food you could take that would make you heal faster. Because sometimes the food could be far fetched from you, we produce it as supplement. So TCM is not an...
TASLY COMPENSATION PLAN. TASLY, just like green life as discussed in part one is a TCM brand that rewards it's sales representative of their brand. Just has green life has Danshien pill, TASLY also has theirs as cadiotonic pill. TASLY compensate it's sales representative using two major plan. Stair-step and Binary. Well it is majorly binary but if you don't get referral you remain in level one which they called independent distributor and your business volume (BV) grows like stair-step. So you start growing when you complete your two referral then you move to level 2. As an independent distributor you get 15% discount from your product sells. I am trying not to quote numbers. As you climb to the next level, you get a different discount and you get certain percentage from your down-line sales. TCM app project help you grow faster without any startup capital or referral. As stated in part one, if you do referral for yourself, you grow faster. But without referrals, we...
Acupuncture is a form of traditional Chinese medicine administered by inserting needle into the body. Well it is not completely proven by science but clinical trials and research has shown that it act as a pain reliever. It is very effective in treating acute back pain. American Society of Anesthesiologists states it may be considered in the treatment for nonspecific, noninflammatory low back pain only in conjunction with conventional therapy. Well the practice of inserting needles into the body is not the only form of acupuncture, but it is common among US. In Nigeria, one similar acupuncture practice is the act of placing insertion on the head. Research in this case has shown that such practices and the phytotherapy added to the insertion has proven to be a good form of antibiotics. This practice is common in the Igbo speaking part of Nigeria. Also in the Yoruba speaking community the place marks on the body with other insertion to cure ailment. Bu...
