Post-Natal Psychosis (PNP)

The 21st of January was Marthin Lurther King Jr's day being celebrated in all 50 state of the United state. Martin Luther who was born on the 15th of January, 1929  is been celebrited within the 15th -21st of January and remembered for been a human right activist who had a dream to liberate the black race in America from discrimination. The actions of Martin Luther king Jr can be traced to the spirit of alternative health to see that everyone get access to wellness in body and mind at a considerable amount of money. What other topic would best feet to remember Martin Luther than to talk about one of the most discrimnated disease of the mind that science cannot completely explain how it occur but believes it could be genetic. Psychosis and schizophrenia is the hieght of mental disorder. It is worst than bipolar disorder and anxiety. It is when an individual begins to display highly erractic behaviours, and can no longer distinguish between what's real and what is not.





One major psychosis found among women after child birth is postnatal psychosis. The pain of  child birth sometimes leads to depression and sometimes result into psychosis called post-natal psychosis (PNP), it leads to the mother lossing their mind. The hormonal change during and after pregnacy could also be a factor of depression after child birth. One possible reason they sometimes say is that people with family heredity of bipolar disorder or psychosis could trigger PNP but we have cases of people whose family heridity is not traced to psychosis or bipolar disorder who had PNP after child birth. According to the research carried out by the centre of Martenal and child enquires in 2009, the single biggest cause of death in new mothers is suicide due to post-natal mental health illness. The syndrome is characterised by feeling of intense paranoia, delusion, hallucinations and rapid mood swings.

It usually evolve two or three days after child birth, but we have seen some cases where one go from completely normal to total psychotic after child birth in hours. It is vital that women demonstrating the first sign of PNP are reffered immediately to their doctors or taken to the hospital for medication.

We have possible solution to psychosis which can be found in cannabis. People prefer the cannabidiol (CBD) oil which is low in Tetrahydrocannabidiol (THC) which doesn't make one high and it's not smoked but injested in oil form. Cannibis is not legally accepted round the world but could be a possible cure for psychosis. It should be a thing of note that cbd is not a cure for severe stage of psychosis but it helps in manupulating and even reversing neurological trends of disorder.

There have been plenty of animal studies done in the past in regard to marijuana for psychosis, but due to regulations, it is rare for an actual clinical trial to be carried out.

In any regard, the study showed that the active cannabidiol (CBD) compound works to potentially limit the amount of dopamine that is blocked as a result of pharmaceutical drug treatment. (The CBD was administered in correspondence with other medications).
Of the 83 patients that were tested, all who were given CBD treatment experimented “dramatic improvements” in their symptoms, compared to the control group that was given placebo:
“The data indicate that six weeks of treatment adjunctive to antipsychotic medication was associated with significant effects both on positive psychotic symptoms and on the treating clinicians’ impressions of improvement and illness severity.”

Additionally, a January 2017 publication from the Neuroscience and Biobehavioral Reviews showed that CBD can in itself potentially act as an antipsychotic medication.

The study, which was carried out at the Illawarra Health and Medical Research Institute (IHMRI), proved that active cannabidiol compound can “influence learning, memory and attention, [and also offer] potential solutions to several core symptoms of schizophrenia that can be a challenge to alleviate with existing medicines…”

That being said, it’s clear that CBD is an effective and reliable treatment option, at least to mollify onset symptoms and reduce the frequency of intermittent psychotic episodes. Hopefully, the therapy will offer some sort of a solution for the many millions of people across the globe who do not have access to treatment. While pharmaceutical medications and expensive antipsychotics are not an option for most victims, CBD represents a healthy, natural option for self-medication that’s easily available with or without an official medical marijuana card.

Ear Barotrauma (Airplane ears).

The ear is one of the most important sense organs of the human body and could be very inconvenient if one gets really troubled with it. The ear is divided into three parts: the outer part, middle and the inner part. The pressure between the out and the inner ears must be balance to cause inconveniences. Ear Barotrauma is a disturbance experience especially when one boards the airplane. It might not be that common but to a certain percentage, it disturbs the ear drum. It occur when there is a change in pressure when one is in the air or water. It is commonly experience during scuba diving in water or in the  airplane when one  ascend or descend the air.   This is different from ear tinnitus which is a symptom of some underlying disease, this could be controlled by little exercise before boarding the airplane or scuba diving. One can decide to chew gum or chew as one enters the environment that changes the pressure between the outer and the inner part of the ears. It usually clears up by

TCM Nigeria

TCM Nigeria according to this blog simply means traditional Chinese medicine, practiced in Nigeria. Unlike other websites which focus on cables and cable connectors like RJ45, RJ11 cable connectors. These are connectors that help computers and telephones communicate. The RJ45 connector can be crimped in two ways, we have the straight through crimping which allow computer network devices to communicate along a network and a crossover cable crimp which only allows two computers to communicate with one another. Networking is a big feed of ICT and tcmnigeria.net have tons of details on it. But this website focuses on traditional or alternative Nigerian practice to getting well and preventing illness. We explore  Phytotherapy  and the way it is administered in Nigeria for healthier living. One of the most common tree found in Nigeria is the  moringa oleifera  tree which is a very good remedy for crashing blood sugar and it is very nutritious. It helps prevent  noma disease  which is on

Phytotherapy and myth

Writing this post close to Christmas tempts me to remind us about the Black Friday promotion of Jumia online store. The TCM app is linked to Jumia and konga store and many people from our app corner had been complaining about how expensive some of the product we recommend on our blog and app is. 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. There is a popular believe among trado-medicine that there is no ailment which nature haven't provided a solution for; it's just for man to research. 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
