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.

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.

The Mental Health Consequences of the Baltasar Engonga Scandal: A Deeper Look at the 400 Victims and Their Fallout

Introduction The scandal involving Baltasar Engonga, the Director General of the National Financial Investigation Agency (ANIF) in Equatorial Guinea, has set off a chain reaction of discussions, not just about the abuse of power, but also about the profound mental health consequences for those involved. Engonga allegedly recorded over 400 sextapes of married women, many of whom are prominent figures in the country, and the tapes were reportedly exposed online.

The Scope of the Scandal: 400 Victims and the Public Exposure Engonga’s actions, which allegedly involved non-consensual recordings, have created a situation where the victims—primarily women married to prominent men in Equatorial Guinea—face the public exposure of their most intimate m...
