April 2023 Archive — What we published this month

April brought a mix of practical health reads. You’ll find a guide to calming Indica cannabis strains, a look at how parasitic infections can affect thinking, a clear note on calcipotriol and vitamin D, and a breakdown of Celecoxib’s effects on the immune system. Each post explains what matters and gives simple steps you can use right away.

Relaxing Indica strains — pick the right one for the evening

If stress is topping your day, the Indica roundup points to reliable strains like Granddaddy Purple and Blueberry for relaxation and sleep. The post explains how aroma, THC/CBD balance, and terpene profile shape effects. Practical tip: start with a low dose and try a strain once or twice to learn how it affects you. If anxiety is the concern, choose strains with higher CBD or lower THC and avoid heavy doses before social situations or work the next day.

Also consider method: vaping or tinctures give quicker, shorter effects; edibles last longer and are harder to dose. Keep a small notebook of strain, dose, and effects for a week — you’ll know what helps without guessing.

Parasitic infections and cognition — what to watch for

One piece looked at how parasites can harm mental performance. Certain protozoa and helminths have been linked to attention and memory changes, especially in places with limited access to clean water and sanitation. The post stresses prevention: wash hands, drink filtered or treated water, cook food thoroughly, and treat pets regularly.

If you notice persistent memory or focus issues after travel or in areas with high infection risk, talk to your doctor about screening. Treatment can reverse some effects, and early detection matters for recovery.

The calcipotriol post explains why a synthetic vitamin D derivative helps in psoriasis. Calcipotriol mimics vitamin D activity in skin cells to slow excess growth. Practical takeaway: follow your dermatologist’s application instructions, protect treated skin from strong sun exposure, and mention any other vitamin D supplements you take so your clinician can adjust dosing.

Finally, the Celecoxib article covers how this NSAID reduces inflammation by blocking prostaglandin production and how that can influence immune responses. The post advises using the lowest effective dose for the shortest time, watching for signs of infection while on long-term therapy, and discussing any immune concerns with your prescriber. If you have frequent infections or an autoimmune condition, review risks and benefits together with your clinician.
