10、ef.Now I walk unaided,so I keep coming for treatment,” she said.As Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is gaining popularity in Ghana,many acupuncture clinics run by Chinese doctors pop up in the country.However,the China Traditional Herbal Hospital was established by 52-year-old Ghanaian business ow
11、ner Bediako,after his fruitful encounter with the effects of TCM in 2012.With the help of a Chinese lady,Bediako set up a small clinic specializing in TCM.Years on,the facility has subsequently grown into a bigger herbal hospital.The hospital treats patients with a combination of local and Chinese h
12、erbal cures.It supports this with the application of traditional Chinese medical methods.Strokes(中风) account for 1.3 percent of all hospital admissions in Ghana,and 6.3 percent of all hospital deaths.But Bediako is confident that as more people with these conditions turn to the natural methods of he

17、 of us can recall Smoky the Bears famous warning:“Remember,only YOU can prevent forest fires.”However,thats not always the case.Under the right conditions,and when conducted safely,fire can create many environmental benefits as well as help prevent larger,uncontrollable wildfires.After a forest fire
18、,many wildlife species will move into recently burned areas to feed on these newly available foods.Some reptiles and amphibians such as the pine (松树) snake prefer forests frequently burned by fire.As Herbert Stoddard put it,“One of the most harmful things modern man has done to birds has been his at
