Gambir Sarawak ( Uncaria Gambir )

 

     

sejenis tumbuhan yang dihasilkan dari getah kayu pokok gambir yang banyak terdapat di dalam hutan Negeri Sarawak, Malaysia. Ia juga dikenali dengan nama Born, Gambier, Borneo Cat's claw, Una de Gato dan Kerangas. Ia diperolehi di dalam hutan tebal di kawasan pendalaman di bahagian Long Panai, Marudi, Sarawak.

Keberkesanan gambir Sarawak memang telah diketahui berabad lamanya khususnya bagi penduduk-penduduk di Negeri Sarawak. Penggunaan gambir secara meluas telah menular ke semua negeri di Semenanjung Malaysia malah ke beberapa negara jiran seperti Indonesia, Brunei dan Singapura. Kesan dari penggunaan telah terbukti memberikan hasil yang luar biasa dan lebih murah berbanding ubat moden.

Kegunaan

melegakan sakit gigi,kanak-kanak berkhatan,Bertindik ,untuk melegakan sakit sementara sebelum di bawa ke hospital seperti terkena gigitan binatang yang berbisa seperti ular, kala jengkingatau sengat ikan seperti ikan keli, ikan sembilang dan sebagainya.

Populariti gambir Sarawak mula naik apabila penggunaan gambir ini amat berkesan bagi pasangan suami isteri dalam melakukan hubungan intim. Ramai kaum lelaki yang mencari gambir Sarawak ini di pasaran semata-mata untuk memberi kepuasan kepada pasangan mereka di dalam melakukan hubungan intim.

Gambir Sarawak mendapat sambutan yang hangat namun tiada penjualan secara komersil besar-besaran. Kebanyakkan peniagakecil menjual produk ini di pasar malam, kaki lima, gerai kecil di tepi jalan.

Mungkin kerana produk ini belum mendapat kelulusan dari Kementerian Kesihatan Malaysia lagi ia tidak dipasarkan secara komersil dan meluas. Harga gambir Sarawak ini pula (Semenanjung Malaysia) di antara RM10 hingga RM20 tetapi ia lebih murah jika dibeli di Negeri Sarawak. Oleh kerana sambutan yang hangat di Semenanjung Malaysia ini para peniaga mengambil kesempatan dengan menaikkan harga sesuka hati kerana mereka menyedari betapa sukarnya mendapatkan bekalan gambir ini di sini.

                      

      Makcik ! Bagi gambir Sekilo.                                   Hah..! Ambik ni….

He's a fluffy young leopard with green dreadlocks and a wide smile; he's energetic, enthusiastic, sociable, self-confident and ambitious – and he loves football. Meet Zakumi, the official mascot for the 2010 Fifa World Cup.

The name "Zakumi" is a composition of "ZA" (South Africa's international country code) and "kumi", a ki-Swahili word that means 10. Since South Africa aims to make 2010 a truly African World Cup, the LOC decided to use a word from a language widely spoken across the continent.

長生學 Longevitology (Healthiness Class)

 

長生學是藉著人體導引宇宙能量來幫助自身及他人治病的一種方法。這些乃是心靈與愛心結合宇宙能量所產生的效果。人一生下來，就是宇宙的一部份，這是一種密切而無法分割的事實；

從呼吸、吃飯、睡覺，週而復始的生活著。誰都不能避免生、老、病、死的歷程，在這生命的過程中，苦樂皆有。

大多數的人都為生活而忙，無暇仔細去深思生命的義意，反而盡量地在享受人生，而不去管未來可能發生的的苦難；但是在人生的路途上，如果不未雨綢繆的話，一旦病痛或災禍到來時，

將束手無策。因此，在日常生活上，應該對未來生活多做些準備，那將使我們的身心受益無窮。

長生學最終目的，在於自療及治別人的病苦，使人們走向健康之路；相信長生學必將是二十一世紀最實用的人體身心保健醫學。

Longevitology uses the human body to receive energy from the universe. Student attend and have their Chakras opened. They then improve their health by sitting quietly (meditation) and making adjustment (healing). They can also use longevitology to improve the health of others.

Don't Always Sleep Late

Mail By: Tan Teck Bee

Good rest and sound sleep is very important... if u don't sleep well,The toxic in your body will accumulate... Affecting your health and your mood...

The main causes of liver damage are:

1.. Sleeping too late and waking up too late are the main cause.
2. Not urinating in the morning.
3. Too much eating.
4. Skipping breakfast.
5. Consuming too much medication.
6. Consuming too much preservatives, additives, food coloring, and artificial sweetener.
7. Consuming unhealthy cooking oil. As much as possible reduce cooking oil use when frying,   which includes even the best cooking oils like olive oil. Do not consume fried foods when you are tired, except if the body is very fit.
8. Consuming overly done foods also add to the burden of liver. Veggies should be eaten raw or cooked 3-5 parts. Fried veggies should be finished in one sitting, do not store.

We just have to adopt a good daily lifestyle and eating habits. Maintaining good eating habits and time condition are very important for our body to absorb and get rid of unnecessary chemicals according to 'schedule.'

Because: Evening at 9 - 11pm : is the time for eliminating unnecessary/ toxic chemicals (de- toxification) from the antibody system (lymph nodes). This time duration should be spent by relaxing or listening to music. If during this time a housewife is still in an un relaxed state such as washing the dishes or monitoring children doing their homework, this will have a negative impact on her health.

Evening at 11pm - 1am : The de-toxification process in the liver, and ideally should be done in a deep sleep state. Early morning 1 - 3am : de-toxification process in the gall, also ideally done in a deep sleep state.

Early morning 3 - 5am : de-toxification in the lungs. Therefore there will sometimes be a severe cough for cough sufferers during this time. Since the de-toxification process had reached the respiratory tract, there is no need to take cough medicine so as not to interfere with toxin removal process.

Morning 5 - 7am : de-toxification in the colon, you should empty your bowel.

Morning 7 - 9am : Absorption of nutrients in the small intestine, you should be having breakfast at this time. Breakfast should be earlier, before 6:30am, for those who are sick. Breakfast before 7:30am is very beneficial to those wanting to stay fit. Those who always skip breakfast, they should change their habits, and it is still better to eat breakfast late until 9 -10am rather than no meal at all.

Sleeping so late and waking up too late will disrupt the process of removing unnecessary chemicals. Aside from that, midnight to 4am is the time when the bone marrow produces blood.
Therefore, have a good sleep and don't sleep late.

Kuda Laut (Hippocampus)

 

Ikan Unik yang Terancam Karana Khasiat dan Kepercayaannya

                               

kuda laut termasuk anggota keluarga ikan (Kelas Osteichthyes, Ordo Syngnathiformes, Famili Syngnathidae) dapat dijumpai hampir di seluruh perairan dunia, mulai dari kawasan beriklim tropis hingga beriklim sedang. Habitat kuda laut terutama di sepanjang pesisir pantai, tepian laut, teluk-teluk yang dangkal, mendiami tempat-tempat yang banyak terdapat terumbu karang, hutan bakau, dan padang lamun. Dari sejumlah species anggota kuda laut, Hippocampus kuda adalah jenis yang memiliki distribusi paling luas, terutama di sepanjang perairan tropis Indo-Pasifik. Wilayah persebaran hewan ini ke barat hingga Selat Inggris, ke timur hingga Kepulauan Hawaii, ke utara hingga Laut Jepang, dan ke selatan hingga Pantai Australia.

Ia memiliki kehidupan sosial yang sangat baik, mereka akan saling memberikan salam satu sama lain ketika bertemu pada pagi hari dan ketika akan berpisah pada petang hari dengan cara mengubah warna tubuhnya sesaat ketika berpasangan atau dengan mengeluarkan suara-suara ‘klik-klik’ yang dihasilkan oleh rahangnya

Keunikan lain dari hewan ini adalah karena pemeliharaan telur dan anak-anaknya diserahkan kepada individu jantan.Telur-telur yang dihasilkan oleh si betina akan disalurkan ke kantung eram (brood pouch) yang dimiliki oleh individu jantan, dibuahi di dalam kantung tersebut, dan selanjutnya dipelihara hingga menetas. Selama lebih kurang sepuluh hari kuda laut jantan akan tampak seperti sedang ‘bunting’ dan selanjutnya ‘melahirkan’ sejumlah kuda laut mungil. Dari 1000 butir telur yang dihasilkan setiap kali pemijahan, jumlah anakan yang mampu lulus-hidup hanya sekitar 250-600 ekor saja. Masa pemijahan kuda laut dapat berlangsung sepanjang tahun, tergantung pada kondisi air, terutama temperatur. Dalam kondisi yang optimal, pemijahan dapat terjadi hingga empat kali dalam setahun.

Kuda laut termasuk hewan monogami, yaitu hanya memiliki satu pasangan saja seumur hidupnya. Apabila pasangannya mati,. tertangkap, atau hilang, maka pasangan yang tertinggal akan lebih memilih hidup sendiri, atau apabila memutuskan untuk memiliki pasangan baru akan menunggu setelah jangka waktu yang sangat lama. Hal ini menjadi salah satu penyebab lambatnya pertumbuhan populasi kuda laut di alam, di samping faktor predasi, mortalitas yang tinggi akibat infeksi ektoparasit, dan perubahan lingkungan habitatnya. Penangkapan besar-besaran (eksploitasi) oleh manusia semakin memperburuk kondisi ini.

Traditional Chinese Medicine pengobatan dan penyembuhan penyakit dengan menggunakan kuda laut didasari oleh keseimbangan antara yin dan yang. Berdasarkan kitab pengobatan pada masa Dinasti Ming (1368-1644), kuda laut berkhasiat untuk memperkuat yang, sehingga tidak dianjurkan kepada mereka yang mengalami defisiensi ying. Beberapa penyakit yang konon dapat disembuhkan oleh kuda laut antara lain: pernyakit kulit, peradangan, gangguan pencernaan, gangguan pernafasan, gangguan jantung dan sistem peredaran darah, penyakit syaraf dan gangguan fungsi otak, gangguan hati dan ginjal, penurunan sistem imun, dan masih banyak lagi.Ia juga dikonsumsi masyarakat sebagai tonik untuk memulihkan kesehatan, menjaga stamina, dan vitalitas tubuh.

Selain dipercaya berkhasiat obat, kuda laut juga dipercaya memiliki kekuatan magis. Hal ini dibuktikan oleh beberapa kebudayaan yang masih memegang teguh kepercayaan animisme. Mereka menyimpan kuda laut sebagai jimat yang diyakini dapat menjaga kesehatan dan keselamatan, untuk meningkatkan rasa percaya diri, melindungi harta benda, dan meminta kemakmuran dan permintaan akan kuda laut hidup sebagai ikan hias pun meningkat dengan pesat.

Kepercayaan khasiat dan azimat Kuda Laut ini menyebabkn ia mempunyai nilai ekonomi yang cukup tinggi sehingga mendorong terjadinya penangkapan yang intensif dan tidak terkawal di alam. Tercatat sekitar 24 juta ekor kuda laut ditangkap di alam setiap tahunnya. Konsumsi kuda laut di wilayah Asia menempati posisi yang tertinggi, yaitu mencapai 45 ton atau sekitar 16 juta ekor per tahun. Kondisi ini tentunya mengakibatkan menurunnya populasi kuda laut secara nyata. Apabila kondisi ini akan terus berlanjut, diperkirakan dalam waktu dekat ini kuda laut akan terancam punah. Di perairan Cina, populasi kuda laut telah berkurang hingga 30 %, di Filipina 70 %, dan di Vietnam tidak berbeda jauh. Semua penurunan tersebut akibat penangkapan yang berlebihan dan tidak memperhatikan jenis yang tertangkap, apakah yang dewasa atau yang masih anakan. Secara umum populasi kuda laut menurun 25-50 % selama kurun waktu 2-5 tahun.

IUCN (International Union for the Conservation Nature) dan WWF (World Widelife Foundation). Untuk itu, IUCN yang berpusat di Gland, Swiss, ini mengeluarkan Red Data Book yang berisi daftar fauna dan flora yang dilindungi, dikenal sebagai Red List. Daftar ini menyatakan bahwa kuda laut merupakan hewan yang dilindungi dari ancaman kepunahan, dan dimasukkan ke dalam kategori “VU” atau Vulnerable. CITES (The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora) telah mendeklarasikan peraturan perihal penangkapan kuda laut sejak November 2002 dengan toleransi 18 bulan untuk memberi waktu kepada 165 negara terkait, termasuk Indonesia di dalamnya, untuk menyebarluaskan kebijakan ini. Para nelayan harus diberi pengarahan dan pendidikan tentang cara menangkap kuda laut yang baik, demikian juga kaum pedagang dan masyarakat pengguna harus diberi pengertian untuk tidak sekedar mengejar keuntungan dan kepentingan pribadi semata tanpa menghiraukn kepupusan hewan ini di masa depan.

Selain penangkapan yang berlebihan tersebut, kerusakan dan musnahnya habitat kuda laut juga merupakan salah satu faktor penyebab turunnya populasi hewan ini secara global. Penggunaan jaring trawl, dinamit, dan tuba untuk menangkap ikan, pengambilan terumbu karang, perusakan hutan bakau, perusakan padang lamun, pencemaran air laut, dan aktivitas reklamasi pantai merupakan beberapa aktiviti yang secara tidak langsung mengurangkn lg populasi kuda laut di alam.
