This document discusses traditional teachings and practices related to child health in Ghana. It examines practices from selected communities in three regions of Ghana through qualitative interviews. The results show high utilization of both traditional and modern medical practices for child illnesses. Traditional practices are presented as complementary to modern care. The document outlines several traditional practices for different stages of childhood: - For infants ("Osukonoma"), practices focus on breastfeeding, postpartum abstinence for mothers, massage with oils, monitoring growth with beads, and using herbal mixtures to prevent health issues. - For toddlers ("Abofra"), breastfeeding and massage continue as the child crawls and explores, and weaning foods are introduced through traditional teachings

This document summarizes a study that analyzed predictors of traditional medicine utilization in Ashanti Region, Ghana. The study involved a survey of 324 participants across both rural and urban districts. Overall, 86.1% of participants reported using traditional medicine in the previous 12 months. The study found that traditional medicine use was predicted by having low income, being a trader, perceiving traditional medicine as effective and safe, having a good relationship with a traditional medical practitioner, and having a chronic illness. Demographic factors were not strong predictors of traditional medicine use. The study provides insight into why traditional medicine utilization is high in the region.

This document examines public perceptions of the role of traditional medicine in Ghana. It finds that traditional medicine is widely used and accessible, as it is effective in treating many common conditions like malaria, arthritis, and infertility. However, the safety of traditional medicine is not standardized. There is some unofficial interaction between traditional and orthodox medical providers through referrals, but the referral system is not well-coordinated. The conclusion is that traditional medicine plays an important role in healthcare in Ghana by providing accessible treatment, but that safety standards and coordination with the orthodox system could be improved.

The document summarizes a study that analyzed the relationship between national health insurance status and patterns of traditional medicine (TRM) use in Ghana. The study found that over 86% of respondents used TRM, with no significant association found between insurance status and TRM use. However, sources of TRM, frequency of use, co-administration of TRM with other treatments, and disclosure of TRM use to providers differed significantly between insured and uninsured groups. Effectiveness of TRM predicted its use for both groups, while work experience predicted use for the insured group. The document concludes that cultural beliefs and traditions, rather than insurance status, may influence healthcare choices and TRM use in Ghana.

This document discusses the rising global demand for herbal medicines and medicinal products in recent decades. While herbal medicines are generally considered safe because they are natural, the document notes that there is evidence they can be dangerous if not used rationally. It emphasizes that education and training of practitioners, scientific validation of herbal medicines, legislative regulation of their use, and open communication between patients and practitioners are crucial to ensuring the safety, quality and standardization of medicinal products. The conclusion reiterates that regulation and proper quality control standards remain a challenge globally and that future advancement depends on scientific validation and technological standardization of complementary and alternative medicines.

This research paper examines the prevalence and patterns of traditional medical therapy utilization in Kumasi Metropolis and Sekyere South district in Ghana. A survey of 324 people found that traditional medical therapy use alongside conventional medicines was widespread, with a prevalence of 86.1%. Biologically-based therapies and distant prayer interventions were commonly used. While self-administration and purchases from pharmacies were important sources, consultations with traditional medical practitioners were less credible. Disclosure of traditional medical therapy use to healthcare professionals remained low. The concomitant use of traditional and conventional therapies without disclosure may interfere with treatment and cause drug interactions, so increased communication between patients and physicians is needed.

Use of Herbal Medicine in the Management of Malaria in------3669-5712-1-PB

This study examined the use of herbal medicine in the management of malaria in Ghana. A survey was conducted of 189 malaria patients and 5 herbal medicine practitioners in the Kwabre East District. Results found that herbal therapy was common among malaria patients (95%), and a key part of malaria treatment strategies. However, 29.7% of patients also utilized modern healthcare. Herbal medicine use was significantly associated with perceptions of fewer side effects, lower cost, and better availability and efficacy than modern options. The study recommends further research on the safety, quality, and effectiveness of herbal treatments for malaria and other diseases.

Alcoholism

Alcoholism is one of the oldest human problems and is characterized by uncontrolled alcohol consumption. It causes physical, psychological, and economic harm not just to the alcoholic but also to their family and children through issues like domestic abuse and trauma. While only 3% of alcoholics are homeless, the other 97% still struggle with its devastating consequences like problems at work and broken families and relationships. There are over 140 million people worldwide with drinking problems, and although alcoholism cannot be cured, treatment programs and family support can help people overcome their struggles.
