 NONA  FRUIT         Morinda citrifolia                        நுணா

Hello! My friends! I am here to share with you some new ideas. We all know this Nona or Noni or Nuna in Tamil. This tree is well grown in Malaysia. We can see in most of our Malay friend's houses. They seem to use it everyday, with out knowing the full effect of the fruit. 
Let me tell you some more things i have gathered. Please do use in your house needs and get the benefit of it.

 Noni fruit comes from South-East Asia, but because of its recent boom, it’s traveled around the world to Hawaii, India, the Pacific Islands, and French Polynesia, among other places that it can survive and thrive. It’s spread around the world and frequently eaten in other places, but as a fresh fruit, it lacks popularity for a couple of reasons: it’s a tropical mystery, and because it’s so stinky. Yes, this fruit has gotten a nickname as the “cheese fruit” because of it’s pungent odor. The taste could be similarly described, which is why it’s often masked with other fruit juices.
The biggest question when decided if something is a superfood or not is the obvious: What benefits can you get from noni juice? In short, almost everything, but let’s expound. Noni fruits have many components to boost the body. Polysaccharides and antioxidants help the immune system and act as an anti-bacterial and reduce the risk of cancer in the body by destroying the free radicals. Research also shows that noni lowers cholesterol by inhibiting the creation of it in the first place. A chemical in the juice–scopoletin–also binds to receptors in the body that is linked to blood pressure, keeping it safe and low.
As with genies, however, super foods have drawbacks and limitations. The high concentration of vitamins can be harmful to certain people. Those with hyperkalemia ( High pottasium)should monitor their intake of noni for the levels of potassium. People on blood pressure medicine in general should consult their doctors before going on any sort of diet with noni juice, as the natural chemicals may inhibit or alter the affect of the medicine.
Parts of the noni plant are used as a juice, a tonic, a poultice, and in tea. The juice, which has an unpleasant taste and odor, is used on the scalp as a treatment for head lice. Some proponents also advise drinking the juice, mixed with other juices and flavorings to mask its unpleasant taste. The leaves and bark are sometimes made into a liquid tonic for urinary complaints and muscle or joint pain. The unripe noni fruit is mashed together with salt and applied on cuts and broken bones. Ripe fruit is used as a poultice for facial blemishes or as a remedy for skin sores, boils, or infections. Tea made from leaves of the plant is used as a remedy for tuberculosis, arthritis, rheumatism, and as an anti-aging treatment.

COLEUS AMBONICUS

 KARPURA VALLI  கற்பூரவள்ளி

Good morning everybody ! Today i am bound to talk about our children's phlagm.  We are Malaysians. We must be out of being sick at the early stages because we are living in a fertile greenery covered country. Our air is not polluted yet. So our children must be healthy. If they are not then we are not following our fore fathers ways. Right?

Where were we slacked? O.k. I will tell you. Are we bathing our children daily head to foot. Oh no . You are admitting the truth. You are scared that they will get flu? Do not mistake me. We are living in a tropical country. Our bodies are hot. We must bathe from head to feet everyday.; not just lub our body  or bathe till the neck. It is wrong to do since this will make your head your  heated up.

Well if your child is given cooling oils such as  Agasthiar Kannai Ennai and daily bath with Agasthiar Neer Korvai Oil or  Agasthiar  Herbal Oil then your child's body is being cooled down. Only heaty bodies tend to get sick.

கற்பூர வள்ளிச் செடியின் அற்புதங்கள் பல உள்ளன. அப்படியே 2 அல்லது 3 இலைகளை மென்று சாப்பிட்டு வரலாம். அல்லது 4,5 இலைகளைச் சாறு எடுத்துக்குடிக்கலாம்.

Coleus Ambonicus or Karpuravalli is a plant to be grown in every house where there are children and Asthmatic patients. We recommend for infants to give  a small dosage of the juice after oil bath  as prescribed  by the physician. You may give this juice with a medicine. This is mainly used to treat cough and cold. It is an antibacterial and anti tubercular. It posses muscle relaxant actions.This increases absorption of nutrients. The leaves  prevent gas formation also.
So please where ever you stay, take some herbs from your country and boil them and bathe with that water to drive away your body pain. You may take juice and drink it whenever you have phlegm. Please try to understand the value of the herbs near your houses. God has created near your house to feed you or help you when you are in need.
   So dear dear friends do not ignore herbs. Herbs are the valuable pearls of the ground we live.Do respect them . Appreciate them . We will be blessed by them. Yours Sincerely

www.malaysianherbals.com (11)Psyllium Husk இஸ்போகல்

http://www.sidhhaherbs.blogspot.com

Psyllium husk (Plantago psyllium)

Psyllium

இதுவே நாம் இஸ்போகல் வித்து என்று அழைப்பது. இஸ்போகல்னப்படும் இதனை மலத்தை இளக்கவும்,கொழுப்பைக்குறைக்கவும் பயன்படுத்துவர்.

The popular name assigned to the plant genus Plantago is also known as psyllium.

 The seeds of this plant are widely used for its mucilage. The varied species of Plantago known as psyllium or Indian plantago are annual herbs which are native to the Mediterranean region of southern Europe and North Africa.

The word psyllium is said to have originated from a Greek word for a flea, which explains the size, shape, and whitish color of the seed, which is the most important commercial part of this plant.
The stemless annual bears dark green leaves arranged alternately in a basal rosette, giving rise to an erect spike of dull, wind-pollinated flowers.

Psyllium is quickly becoming one of the top recommendations for people using low-carb Atkins-style diets. It is very difficult to get enough fibre in a diet when you eliminate the carbohydrates in cereals, whole grains and fruits. Psyllium capsules are an easy way to take care of this problem. It fills you with fibre, reducing appetite without overstimulating the nervous system; a much healthier approach than formulas containing ephedra such as Herbalife or Metabolife.

Psyllium is the husk of the seed of the Plantain and is a top herb used in weight control and for general intestinal health. It contains a spongy fiber that reduces appetite, improves digestion and cleanses the system, making it an excellent choice for healthy dieting. Psyllium can provide the fiber that is missing on low carbohydrate diets. Every 100 grams of psyllium provides 71 grams of soluble fiber; a similar amount of oat bran would contain only 5 grams of soluble fiber. Only recently have scientists learned that soluble fiber has unique effects on metabolism. Just take one or two capsules with a glass of water or Yerba Mate diet tea, half hour before meals. The herb also provides a feeling of fullness that is helpful before meals. Psyllium is one of the simplest, healthiest and most effective herbs for weight control.

Psyllium has also been used for irritable bowel syndrome (a stress-related disorder with alternating bouts of diarrhea and constipation). Because it will produce easy bowel movements with a loose stool, Psyllium is used by patients with anal fissures (cracks in the skin near the anus) and hemorrhoids and is often recommended following anal or rectal surgery, during pregnancy and as a secondary treatment in certain types of diarrhea.

Psyllium soaks up a significant amount of water in the digestive tract, thereby making stool firmer and, under these circumstances, slower to pass. Psyllium also has the additional advantages over other sources of fiber of reducing flatulence and bloating. It may be recommended by a physician to help soften stool and reduce the pain associated with hemorrhoids.

இது மேன்மையான மருந்து. மலத்தைஇலகுவாக்குகிறது. குடலுக்காக மருந்துகள் எடுக்குமுன்பு உங்கள் எண்ணத்தில் வரவேண்டியது இதுவே!

In a study of people with ulcerative colitis (a type of inflammatory bowel disorder), psyllium seeds were as shown to be as effective as the prescription drug mesalamine in decreasing recurrences of the disease. In addition, a physician may recommend the use of psyllium as a bulking agent for mild to moderate cases of diarrhea from either ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease (another type of inflammatory bowel disorder).

Research reported in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition concludes that the use of soluble-fiber cereals is an effective and well-tolerated part of a prudent diet for the treatment of mild to moderate Hypercholesterollaemia. Soluble fibers such as those in psyllium husk, guar gum, and oat bran have a cholesterol-lowering effect when added to a low-fat, low-cholesterol diet. Studies reported in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition have shown psyllium to be quite effective in lowering total as well as LDL ("bad") cholesterol levels, which can be helpful to those with high cholesterol and those at increased risk for developing hypercholesterolemia, such as people with type 2 diabetes.

Studies and clinical reports suggest that psyllium may enhance the sensation of fullness and reduce hunger cravings. For these reasons, incorporating psyllium and other sources of fiber into the diet may aid weight loss.

For those simply wishing to improve digestion and intestinal tract health, a single capsule per day is all that is needed.

A word of caution

Excessive intake of psyllium seeds in any form might be allergic to individuals therefore it is advisable to intake these seeds only after prescriptions from doctor.

       http://www.sidhhaherbs.blogspot.com
Our Daily Food Serves As Our Medicine
முட்டைகோஸ்

Yes! What ever we eat there is a vital value in it. Be it fruits, vegetables or grains and even flowers contain a lot of vitamins. But we don't tend to know the nutritious value in it; nor we care about it. Like other leaf vegetables, cabbage contains vitamin K, the blood-clotting vitamin produced naturally by bacteria in our intestines.
 Additional intake of vitamin K may reduce the effectiveness of anticoagulants (warfarin, Coumadin, Panwarfin), so that larger doses may be required cooked. For Cancers And ulcers Don't think less about cabbage. After the 5th day of giving birth the breast will be tight and painful and the pain will pave her to get fever . Just apply 2or3 leaves under the bra and the pain will vanish off.

For chronic ulcer drink the fresh juice one or two times along with Siddha medicine and you will be cured.
Cabbages are also a good source of riboflavin.
 Nutritive Values of Cabbage (Per 100 gm) Protection against certain cancers. Naturally occurring chemicals (indoles, isothiocyanates, glucosinolates, dithiolethiones, and phenols) in cabbage, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower, and other cruciferous vegetables appear to reduce the risk of some cancers, perhaps by preventing the formation of carcinogens in your body or by blocking cancer-causing substances from reaching or reacting with sensitive body tissues or by inhibiting the transformation of healthy cells to malignant ones .

. Cabbage and lettuce differ in their nutritional content, composition and taste. Though they are both considered to be leafy green vegetables, cabbage is generally eaten cooked while lettuce is often left uncooked  Cabbage has a slightly thicker leaf, often with a purple tinge. Lettuce is thinner and more chewable. Both contain many vitamins and minerals with little calories and fat. Monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitors.
 Monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitors are drugs used to treat depression.
They inactivate naturally occurring enzymes in your body that metabolize tyramine, a substance found in many fermented or aged foods. Tyramine constricts blood vessels and increases blood pressure. If you eat a food such as saucer  kraut which is high in tyramine while you are taking an Mnticoagulants.

There are three different types of Cabbage- green, red and Savoy. The red and green cabbages are crinkly in texture and crunchier than the Savoy variety. Whatever the variety is the inside is cleaner and of lighter colour. Even though the inside of the cabbage is clean you should cut the cabbage and wash under running water. Sometimes worms or insects can appear in cabbages grown organically and inspection and cleaning is a must.

To cut cabbage into smaller pieces, first quarter it and remove the core and then cut into slices of varying thickness, grated by hand or shredded in a food processor.

 Like other leaf vegetables, cabbage contains vitamin K, the blood-clotting vitamin produced naturally by bacteria in our intestines. Additional intake of vitamin K may reduce the effectiveness of anticoagulants (warfarin, Coumadin, Panwarfin), so that larger doses may be requiredAO inhibitor, you cannot effectively eliminate the tyramine from your body. The result may be a hypertensive crisis Always it is preferable to eat raw.
You may wash it with salt water, then the germs bacteria will come out  and then eat as it is. You may sprinkle a bit of pepper or chilly and onions ans a bit of salt.

PURPLE CABBAGE is richer than usual one in vitamins and in money voice.
Consist of more vitamins so it costs more.; but the activities and the benefits are more or less the same.
When you cut open do remember to clean it leaf by leaf because it may contain minute germs ,

Sesbania grandiflora

அகத்தின் அழுக்குகளை நீக்குமாம் அகத்திக்கீரை
Humming Bird Tree
   Sesbania Grandiflora  as it is called  Agathi in Tamil is used in cooking in India, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam , mainly in the South east Asia pacific regions wherein its widely grown and eaten.There are two varieties grown in Malaysia. But the red variety is of more medicinal use and  is very rare to be seen.
           
The tender leaves, green fruit, and flowers are eaten alone as a vegetable or mixed into curries or salads. Flowers cooked with green peas serves as a tonic for weakening hearts. Tender portions serve as cattle fodder, (overeating is said to cause diarrhea). Ripe pods apparently are not eaten. The inner bark can serve as fiber and the white, soft wood not too durable, can be used for cork. The wood is used, like bamboo, in Asian construction. The tree is grown as an ornamental shade tree, and for reforestation
Eating Agathi keerai has a lot of benefits -

It is a tonic

It is cooling

It helps in digestion

It will cure ulcers in the stomach

It is a laxative

It balances pitta and kapha

It is an antidote for poisons

It is good for fever

It cures insanity

It is a very satvic food

Crushed leaves are applied to sprains and bruises of all kinds.

A tea made from the leaves is believed to have antibiotic, anti-thelmintic(a medication capable of causing the evacuation of parasitic intestinal worms), antitumour and contraceptive properties.

The principal medicinal effects are due to the trees’ astringency, hence it is used against inflammation, venom and other poisons, bacterial infections and tumors.

. In Java, the tree is extensively used as a pulp source. A gum resembling kino (called katurai), fresh when red, nearly black after exposure, exudes from wounds. This astringent gum is partially soluble in water and in alcohol, but applied to fishing cord, it makes it more durable.
 Pepper vines (Piper nigrum) are sometimes grown on and in the shade of the agati. According to NAS (1980a), this small tree produces firewood, forage, pulp and paper, food, and green manure and appears to hold promise for reforesting eroded and grassy wastelands throughout the tropics. It combines well with agriculture in areas where trees are not normally grown and becomes an important fuel wood source. Dried and powdered bark is used as a cosmetic in Java.
 Allen and Allen enumerated three undesirable features (1) short lived (2) shallow-rooted and subject to wind throw, and (3) prolific seeder, the pods often considered a litter. An aqueous extract of bark is said to be toxic to cockroaches. 

Folk Medicine

The juice from the flowers is used to treat headache, head congestion, or stuffy nose. As a snuff, the juice is supposed to clear the nasal sinuses. Leaves are poultice onto bruises. Rheumatic swellings are rubbed with aqueous decoctions of the powdered roots of the red-flowered variant.
In Siddha we do not recommend these leaves when under gong any treatment for it has a great effect in reducing the medicinal effect.  It has to be eaten as any dish once a month to neutralize the body.  This is recommended to reduce biliousness; so for giddiness and over hypertention this herb is recommended.
.

 Yunani consider the tonic leaves useful in biliousness, fever, and nyctalopia. Indians apply the roots in rheumatism, the juice of the leaves and flowers for headache and nasal catarrh. Mixed with stramonium and pasted, the root is poulticed onto painful swellings. In Amboina, flower juice is squeezed into the eye to correct dim vision. The bark is used in infusions for smallpox. Cambodians consider the flowers emollient and laxative, the bark for diarrhea, dysentery, and palladium.
Malayans apply crushed leaves to sprains and contusions. They gargle with the leaf juice to cleanse the mouth and throat. In small doses, the bark is used for dysentery and sprue, in large doses, laxative, in still larger doses, emetic. Pounded bark is applied to scabies. Philippines use the pounded bark for hemoptysis. The powdered bark is also recommended for ulcers of the mouth and alimentary canal. In Java, the bark is used for thrush and infantile disorders of the stomach. Leaves are chewed to disinfect the mouth and throat.

நாம் காணும் இந்த செம்பரத்தம் பூவில் ஒன்று கீழே பூமியைப் பார்த்தும் ஒன்று
மேலேஆகாயத்தைப்பார்த்தும் இருப்பதை கவனித்தீர்களா?

Hibiscus rosa-sinensis  
 Have you ever noticed  the difference in these two varieties? One looks above the sky. The other speceis looks down the earth. The one looking earth (gravity pulling ) has more effect - old people say!

Hibiscus rosa-sinensis is the national flower of Malaysia, called Bunga Raya in Malay. Introduced into the Malay Peninsula in the 12^thCentury, it was nominated as the national flower in the year 1958 by the Ministry of Agriculture amongst a few other flowers, namely ylang ylang, jasmine, lotus, rose, magnolia, and bunga tanjung. On 28 July 1960, it was declared by the government of Malaysia that the hibiscus would be the national flower.

The word bunga in Malay means "flower", whilst raya in Malay means "big" or "grand". The hibiscus is literally known as the "big flower" in Malay. The red of the petals symbolizes the courage, life, and rapid growth of the Malaysian, and the five petals represent the five Rukun Negara of Malaysia. The flower can be found imprinted on the notes and coins of the Malaysian ringgit

Hibiscus rosa-sinensis, known colloquially as the Chinese hibiscus, China rose and shoe flower, is an evergreen flowering shrub native to East Asia.

It is widely grown as an ornamental plant throughout the tropics and subtropics. The flowers are large, generally red in the original varieties, and firm, but generally lack any scent. Numerous varieties, cultivars, and hybrids are available, with flower colors ranging from white through yellow and orange to scarlet and shades of pink and even purple, with both single and double sets of petals. Despite their size and red hues attractive to nectar-feeding birds, they are not visited regularly by humming birds 

Hibiscus rosa-sinensis was named by Carolus Linnaeus.. Each of these many names is from a different state in China, each state having its own name for the plant. It also has prominent presence in the various part of Indian subcontinent. It has several names in different languages,Jaswand in Marathi, Bengali: জবা (Jaba), Sembaruthi-செம்பருத்தி in Tamil, Hindi:गुड़हल, Chemparathy in Malayalam, Mondaro in Oriya,Wada Mal in Sinhala, Mamdaram (మందారం) in Telugu, Kembang Sepatu in Indonesia and Gumamela in Filipino.]
