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.

PrEP vs. Other HIV Prevention Strategies: Education, Condom Use, and Behavioral Choices

While Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) is a highly effective pharmaceutical approach to preventing HIV, it is important to recognize that there are other methods of prevention that can work in tandem or serve as alternatives. These include education, consistent condom use, monogamy, avoiding unprotected sex, and abstinence. Each method has its own benefits and drawbacks, and understanding how they compare can help individuals make more informed choices about their sexual health.   1. Education and Awareness: The Foundation of Prevention Education plays a critical role in preventing the spread of HIV. Knowledge about how HIV is transmitted, the risks of unprotected sex, and the importance of using preventive measures like condoms can significantly reduce the likelihood of infection.
