[What is 5-HTP]

5-HTP (5-Hydroxytryptophan) is a chemical by-product of the protein building block L-tryptophan. It is also produced commercially from the seeds of an African plant known as Griffonia simplicifolia 5-HTP is used for sleep disorders such as insomnia, depression, anxiety, migraine and tension-type headaches, fibromyalgia, obesity, premenstrual syndrome (PMS), premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), seizure disorder, and Parkinson’s disease.

 [How does it work?]

5-HTP works in the brain and central nervous system by increasing the production of the chemical serotonin. Serotonin can affect sleep, appetite, temperature, sexual behavior, and pain sensation. Since 5-HTP increases the synthesis of serotonin, it is used for several diseases where serotonin is believed to play an important role including depression, insomnia, obesity, and many other conditions.

[Function]

Depression. Some clinical research shows that taking 5-HTP by mouth improve symptoms of depression in some people. Some clinical research shows that taking 5-HTP by mouth might be as beneficial as certain prescription antidepressant drugs for improving depression symptoms. In most studies, 150-800 mg daily of 5-HTP was taken. In some cases, higher doses have been used.

Down syndrome. Some research shows that giving 5-HTP to infants with Down syndrome might improve muscle and activity. Other research shows that it does not improve muscle or development when taken from infancy until 3-4 years of age. Research also shows that taking 5-HTP along with conventional prescription drugs does improve development, social skills, or language skills.

Anxiety 5-HTP was found to be protective against carbon dioxide-induced panic attacks. One study compared 5-HTP and the prescription medication clomipramine for anxiety. Clomipramine is a tricyclic antidepressant used for treating obsessive-compulsive disorder. 5-HTP was found to be somewhat effective in reducing anxiety symptoms, but not as effective as clomipramine.

Sleep 5-HTP supplements fared a little better for insomnia.5-HTP decreased the time required to get to sleep and decreased the number of nighttime awakenings. Taking 5-HTP along with GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid), a relaxing neurotransmitter, reduced the time it took to fall asleep and increased the duration and quality of sleep. One study found that children with night terrors benefited from 5-HTP.

Dulse is a red sea vegetable high in minerals, polysaccharides, carotenoids, amino acids and other nutrients helpful for iodine deficiency and thyroid dysfunction. Like other seaweeds, it can be enjoyed freshly harvested, eaten dried in whole pieces or as dulse flakes. Containing a much higher ratio of dietary minerals than land plants, consuming sea vegetables like Palmaria palmata helps to provide more essential mineral-rich nutrients to the body in and easily digested whole food format.

Stills used to create awareness and to take care of the deadly diseases ……around our surroundings.

Chikungunya is an infection caused by the chikungunya virus. Symptoms include the sudden onset of fever two to four days after exposure.

The name comes form a word in the African Kimakonde language and means “bent over in pain”. It describes the stooped appearance of persons suffering with severe joint pains.

It is transferred from human to human by mosquitoes.

The females of Aedes Aegyptii and Aedes albopictus are the main species of mosquito that spread the disease.

These mosquitoes bite through the day.

Incubation Period: Ranging from 3-12 days, usually 3-7 days.

The Virus cannot be transmitted directly form one person to another.

It is not transmitted by Hugs or Kisses, by touch or through the air we breathe.

Difference between Chikungunya and Dengue :

Chikungunya can circulate with the help of monkeys, birds and cattle, but dengue spreads only through mosquitoes.

While for dengue the symptoms subside in about 15 days, for Chikungunya the symptoms can prolong for 3-6 months.

While Chikungunya’s main symptoms are high fever and excruciating joint pain, dengue manifests with high fever, drop in platelet count and rash.

In December 2013, the world Health Organization (WHO) reported the first transmission of chikungunya virus in the western Hemisphere identified in Saint Martin.

The virus was first detected in Tanzania in 1952. Since 2004, intense and extensive outbreaks have been reported in Africa, on islands in the Indian Ocean and the Pacific region, and Southeast Asia (India, Indonesia, Maldives, Sri Lanka, and Thailand).

Prevention is better than cure :

Avoid getting bitten by mosquitoes. Keep the surroundings clear of stagnant water or pools where mosquitoes can breed.

Listed in the World Health Organization’s R&D Blueprint (2016), the recently established Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations has it on their agenda to develop a vaccine for Chikungunya, along with other diseases such as MERS, Ebola and others.

Allopathy :

The Nilavembu decoction is suggested as a herbal treatment, and while many people believe in this, it has not yet been verified by studies. At present it is recommended to use this only in parallel with advice from a doctor.
