Melastoma Malabathricum Tea

Melastoma malabathricum. L. (Melastomaceae), locally known as sendudok putih, is a small shrub. Traditional medicinal uses include diarrhea, dysentery, ulcers, wound care, and piles. In the search for natural compounds useful against anti-inflammatory activity, ?.-amyrin, betulinic acid, and isolated flavonoids, including quercetin and quercitrin, were assessed in vitro.

Medical use: This plant enjoys a long tradition of use as a uterine tone for female health care; usually following childbirth to strengthen the womb and accelerate healing. Its flowers, seeds, even leaves are sweet and astringent, reduce white discharge, even diarrhoea and indigestion. Senduduk can also be applied externally to bruises, haemorrhoids and soreness of the leg.

Green Tea +Stevia + Ginger

Your body is able to assimilate minerals and nutrients properly only when its pH is balanced. It is therefore possible for you to be taking healthy nutrients and yet be unable to absorb or use them.

Green tea + Stevia + Ginger could help you to balance your body PH.As Green tea contains extremely powerful antioxidants, a range of catechins in particular, which protect against health problems such as cancer and cardiovascular disease. Stevia is the best natural sweetener.

Ginger has long been known as a very healthy food. It has anti-cancer properties and it recognized as healthy by both modern and ancient systems of medicine.

This tea is essentially a medical food. It can inhibit inflammation, has antimicrobial properties, relieves constipation and nausea, and purportedly increases fertility.

Botanical Beverage: 30 teabags RM 22.00

Note that a food’s acid or alkaline-forming tendency in the body has nothing to do with the actual pH of the food itself. For example, lemons are very acidic, however the end-products they produce after digestion and assimilation are very alkaline so lemons are alkaline-forming in the body. Likewise, meat will test alkaline before digestion but it leaves very acidic residue in the body so, like nearly all animal products, meat is very acid-forming.

What is neuro- auricular technique?

Neuro-Auricular Technique (NAT) is a specific upper back and neck technique (discovered by Gary Young) using essential oils to jump-start and reconnect all of the synapses of the brain and upper spine, particularly in the locus ceruleus and vagal ganglia.

The technique is applied along the occipital ridge, particularly focusing on the medullar area (center depression at base of skull) and along each vertebra of the cervical spine (the 7 vertebrae between the skull and shoulders that comprise the neck) by applying specific oils with an acu-pointer.

The locus ceruleus is a mass of more than 1000 nerves at the base of the brain, highly pigmented as a bluish bundle of nerves. Hence, its name: “Locus” means “location.” “Ceruleus” means “sky blue.”The locus ceruleus is the central switching station of the body. Every nerve impulse controlling our voluntary muscles as well as our organs passes through this master control station. A principal purpose of NAT is to make sure this vital nerve junction is fully functioning along with the rest of the brain.

Another purpose of NAT is to fully awaken and restore full capacity to the locus ceruleus and vagal ganglion at the base of the brain and to connect all of the synapses of the brain and upper spinal cord, thus creating an environment that facilitates optimal health, healing, and bodily function.

It is a very potent therapy that Dr.Gary Young discovered to have very profound healing effects – in particular with Parkinson’s, other neurological disorders, depression, sustained stress disorders and other mental and physical health states.

How to help heal nerve issues including autoimmune disorders, pain, numbness, spinal cord issues, chemical imbalances?

NAT is an incredible therapy for healing the nervous system and helping to improve conditions such as Parkinson Disease. Nerves constitute a large portion of the body, and have a highly important function.

This therapy can also help to reduce stress, and through the therapeutic essential oil reactions with the cells, help to bring chemical balance to the body.

The oils that are used are specifically geared towards healing specific conditions.

The oils used for NAT are:

Frankincense oil: help focus the mind and overcome stress and despair
Ruta Vala oil: for healing emotional disorders Valor for increasing communication, alignment and confidence
Deep Relief  oil: for relieving muscles (how many of us carry stress in the neck and shoulders?!)
Stress Away oil: for aiding relaxation- particularly emotional
Valor oil: works with both the physical and spiritual aspects of the body to increase feelings of strength, courage, and self-esteem in the face of adversity

How would you like to have your own signature scent that lingers in a room or in the mind of that special someone long after you’ve taken your leave? It is exciting to know that your personal fragrance is unique to you and that no one else will ever be able to go out and buy the same scent. Making your own perfume is easier than you might think. With the right ingredients and a simple formula, you’re well on your way to that one-of-a-kind essence that represents you and only you.

Things You’ll Need:

* Essential oil(s)
* Vodka or pure grain alcohol
* Distilled water
* Perfume bottle
* Coffee filter
1. Choose the right essential oils. You will need some to be your perfume’s base, middle and top “notes.” You will also need an essential oil to act as a bridge or binder for the other three. Perfumes are blended according to a formula that includes three parts or notes. The base note is the strongest and longest lasting, while the top note is the lightest and first to dissipate. When selecting your essential oils, you can use as few or as many as you like, but the use of three separate fragrance layers with a binder is the generally accepted structure for building a perfume. Here’s a partial list of essential oils categorized as binders, base, middle and top notes. Base: cedar, cinnamon, patchouli, sandalwood and vanilla. Middle: clove, geranium, lemongrass, bottle nutmeg, neroli and ylang-ylang. Top: bergamot, lavender, lemon, lime, neroli, rose, jasmine and orchard. Binder: vanilla and lavender.

2.Place 8 drops of your base-note essential oil, followed by 8 drops of your middle note and finally 8 drops of your top note into 2 1/2 oz. vodka. Ultimately, your fragrance should follow the following formula: 15 to 30 percent essential oil, 70 to 80 percent pure grain alcohol (vodka works best) and 5 percent distilled water.

3.Add a few drops of binder oil to the mixture if your selection of essential oils does not already include some.

4.Let the mixture sit for at least 24 hours. The longer the mix stands, the stronger the fragrance will be. Let it stand for as long as you need to in order to achieve the right combined fragrance of the oils.

5. Add 2 tbsp. distilled water to the essential oil-vodka mixture. Mix well.

6. Add a few drops of glycerin as a fixative to help the fragrance last longer. Mix well.

7. Before the mixture can settle, pour it into a perfume bottle through a coffee filter. The filter will act as a strainer for any particulate matter left behind from the oils and extraction process.

Feng Shui supports the use of light in many forms the most powerful of which is natural light. Nothing can compare to the strength and purity of the light of the sun. Keeping your windows and skylights clean and your sheers, blinds, shutters and drapes clean to remove them but make sure you have a way to pull them back in a purposeful manner and that they are kept clean and in good working condition. Use them to adjust the light in the room to appropriate levels. During the day is important to reaping the benefit of natural light.

HOMES IN DARKNESS

So what happens to areas in the home that have no access to natural light and sit in darkness during the daylight hours? Or homes that have minimal window surface, oddly placed windows, or that reside in areas that have shorter amounts of daylight to warm them or are situated on the land with north facing windows in prominent areas of the Feng Shui floor plan? These would all be considered homes that fall into darkness or that are unbalanced in the area of light and dark.

Homes with unbalanced light need an artificial or alternative source to draw light from. The use of table lamps, overhead lighting, floor lamps, neon lighting, and mirrors to bounce light into far corners are all ways to bring light into a space. Your goal of course is to keep the light evenly distributed throughout the space.

THE USE OF CANDLES

One alternative source of light that is often overlooked is the use of candles. Candles bring with them the need for caution and alertness as they can be misused and cause injury and fire along with the possibility of harming yourself or someone else in the process of their misuse.

Candles usually light the immediate area around them very well but can highlight that area and leave the rest of the room in darkness. Here are some guidelines for using candles as part of your Feng Shui practice:

1. Keep the light level even by using groups of candles or combining them with other light sources. The idea is to balance the light in the room so adjust the light levels as the day progresses.

2. Keep candles cleaned up and wicks trimmed. It is easy to overlook the dripping and melting of candles. Keeping candles in containers can help to alleviate the need to cut them back and keep them trimmed up. If you are not getting a strong flame from the candle it is probably time to replace it with a new one. Flickering or smoking flames are not good Feng Shui.

3. Check the area you have chosen to burn candles in against a Feng Shui bagua or the guidelines of Feng Shui that you follow. Some areas do not respond well to candle burning and will need other cures to balance them out. For instance, candle flames are great in the Fame and Reputation area of the home but not necessarily so in the Creativity sector. The Relationship area and the Wealth area also benefit from candle flames. Check to make sure you are using fire in the correct areas.

4. Consider the color of the candle you are using and the area you will be using it in. Colors correspond to particular areas of the bagua and energy can be enhanced when you burn candles of a particular color.

5. Consider enhancing the candles energy by adding scent to the mix. This may take some investigation to get the color, shape and scent to harmonize with the area you wish to burn it in but well worth the time. Combining or creating layers of energy by mixing color, scent and shape together in the right amounts can add to the energy in a room.

A lot of people use candles for practical reasons, while a lot more others are interested in them as decorations. People believe that a candle symbolizes hope and a brighter future. Whether used in birthday cakes, in church during baptism, on tables during romantic dinners – candles instantly changes the mood of the people around it. The mere light it shines is more beautiful compared to that of an electric bulb.

As decoration, candles are also preferred by many people. The sense of romance and elegance is captivating and can brighten up the dark mood of the people around it.

Here are some ways on how you can decorate living spaces and lift the mood of the people around you at the same time.

1. Flower decorations can be made even more beautiful by adding candles. You can wrap ribbons around the candle and then stick in your flower pot or bundle and you can instantly have elegant decor without having to spend much. Use a colored ribbon that can complement the color of your flowers or the flower or plant pot.

2. Candles can be used at your dining table and not just during romantic dates. The light at the center of your dining table can bring a sense of peace, and if with children around, they can be really festive when they see the candles lit as they know it is not just a simple dinner but that it is a fun celebration.

3. Candles in the living room can balance out all the modern electronic technology and once again bring a sense of ‘homey-ness’ in your living room. Candles can make you feel relaxed and calm your being – making the living room truly ‘live’ once again.

4. Romance and passion will come alive when you place candles in your bedroom as décor. It can open your senses and give a feeling of sensuality once lit and its romantic ambience can truly awaken the senses. At the same time, especially when you are alone, candles can remind you of your favorite spa or massage area and bring you a sense of peace and calm.

5. Candles are more popularly used as decoration during Christmas. You can dress up your candles with ribbons, lace, wreaths, and other Christmas novelties you can think of. If you know how to make your own candles, you can mold them into different designs such as angels, reindeer or a pine tree. At the same time, you can also give candles as gift during Christmas, and on other occasions such as weddings as wedding candle favors.

Candles can be used for religious events and can be equally useful as decorations as well. You just need to have a little creativity and as they are made of wax, you can mold them into different designs that can complement your home. Candles also come in different colors, so you can express yourself and personalize your decor based on your personal preference for colors. Just have fun and know that in every way, candles can help beautify your place.

There are also some other simple steps for you the deco your home:

Step 1

Keep candles away from electrical appliances. Do not place candles directly on electronic devices, like a television set or stereo in your living room. Heat from the candles, even if they are in candle holders, could break down components inside these appliances, and any dripping wax may cause irreparable damage.

Step 2

Store out of reach of pets and children. Since the living room is one of the busiest rooms in the house, there is an increased risk of children and pets knocking over candles placed down at their level. Display candles at higher levels, such as on top of entertainment centers or fireplace mantels, or use decorative wall sconces that accent you living room furniture and keep candles up and out of the way.

Step 3

Use smokeless candles. Purchase candles specially made to emit a minimal amount of smoke or keep candlewicks trimmed to a quarter of an inch to keep them from sputtering or giving off a lot of smoke. Excess smoke discolors paint on your walls and furniture fabrics and damages photographs and electronics.

Step 4

Change with the seasons. Choose candles that celebrate holidays and seasons throughout the year to keep your living room lively and fun. Tropical or fruity scents during the summer and apple and pumpkin pie scents in autumn keep your living room feeling seasonally festive.

Step 5

Make it a family affair. Since your living room is a room that the whole family spends time in, make the decorations in this room a reflection of everyone in the family. Let each member of the family choose a scent for the room, display every family member’s favorite color on a different candle or dress up ordinary candles with glitter appliques, beads and glue as a fun art project with the kids.

Please use caution and common sense when burning candles. Dorm residents usually are not allowed to have candles in their rooms.
