''HERBAL FOR UR BEAUTY'': 2010

Definition of ''HERBAL''

A herbal is a book containing the names and descriptions of plants, usually with information on their virtues (properties) and in particular their medicinal, tonic, culinary, toxic, hallucinatory, aromatic, or magical powers, and the legends associated with them. A herbal may also classify the plants by various criteria, may give recipes for herbal extracts, tinctures, or potions, and sometimes include mineral and animal medicaments in addition to those obtained from plants. Herbals were often illustrated to assist plant identification.The word herbal is derived from the mediaeval Latin liber herbalis ("book of herbs");the word is sometimes used in contrast to the word florilegium which is a treatise on flowers with emphasis on their beauty and enjoyment rather than their utility.Herbals were among the first literature produced in Ancient Egypt, China, India, and Europe.Their useful content and accessible format made them attractive to general readers, as well as to herbalists, apothecaries and physicians.[7] In the Western European Age of Discovery herbals were produced, either by Europeans or indigenous people, for the Americas, Africa, and other lands newly discovered by Europeans. Herbals were among the first books to be printed in both China and Europe. In Western Europe herbals flourished during the two centuries after the invention of moveable type .Starting in the late 17th century, the rise of modern chemistry, toxicology and pharmacology largely made the classical herbals obsolete as a medical resource. As reference manuals for botanical study and indentification of plants, herbals were supplanted by the Floras — systematic surveys of the plants found growing in a particular region, with scientifically accurate botanical descriptions, classification, and illustrations. Herbals have seen a modest revival in the western world since the last decades of the 20th century, as herbalism and related disciplines (such as homeopathy and aromatherapy) became popular as forms of complementary and alternative medicine.

SUNTIKAN COLLAGEN - by - http://fakarudinft.blogspot.com

Kolagen banyak dikaitkan dengan bahan ramuan yang berkaitan kesihatan dan kecantikan. Apa itu kolagen? Kolagen adalah sejenis fiber protin dimana terdapat banyak pada badan haiwan, dan ia merupakan elemen utama dermis dan tisu penghubung. Sesetengah kolagen yang digunakan untuk tujuan perubatan dan kosmetik diekstrak (dihasilkan) daripada tulang dan kulit haiwan. Kebanyakan kolagen dipasaran hari ini dihasilkan daripada haiwan seperti lembu dan khinzir.Pengguna juga kini ada pilihan untuk memilih kolagen yang diperbuat daripada sumber marin dan tumbuhan contohnya dari ikan tilapia dan lobak merah yang lebih diyakini status halalnya. Kolagen banyak digunakan tujuan produk makanan kesihatan, kosmetik dan perubatan. Sebagai pengguna kita harus berhati-hati dalam menggunakan produk berasaskan kolagen ini. Penentuan sumber haruslah menjadi keutamaan iaitu jika dari khinzir ia jelas haram, manakala dari sumber lembu atau bovine mestilah dipastikan disembelih mengikut hukum syarak.Cara yang mudah dan selamat sebagai pengguna adalah memilih produk yang mengandungi kolagen pastikan ada logo halal JAKIM kerana telah disahkan proses penghasilan dan sumbernya menepati kehendak syarak.

Apakah Yang Berlaku Ketika Stress?

Ketika stress, badan kita akan mengeluarkan satu hormon rangsangan yang bernama ‘adrenaline’ kedalam saluran darah kita. Hormon ini bersama-sama dengan beberapa hormon yang lain akan menyebabkan beberapa perubahan berlaku di dalam tubuh kita sebagai persiapan untuk melindungi kita. Di antara perubahan-perubahan itu ialah denyutan jantung bertambah laju dan tekanan darah akan meningkat (untuk mengepam lebihan darah kepada otak, otot dan jantung); gula, lemak dan kolesterol di dalam darah akan bertambah (untuk memberi lebihan tenaga kepada badan); pernafasan seseorang akan lebih laju (untuk menyalurkan lebihan oksigen yang diperlukan) dan begitulah seterusnya. Perubahan-perubahan ini berlaku secara tabii selari dengan keperluan tubuh kita ketika itu. Walaubagaimanapun, jika stress atau tekanan berpanjangan di dalam hidup kita dan kita pula tidak bijak untuk mengurusnya, ia akan bertukar menjadi ‘distress’ yang boleh menyebabkan penyakit-penyakit tertentu menimpa kita.

COLLEGEN

What is collegen
Collegen is a type of protein. Fibrous in nature, it connects and supports other bodily tissues, such as skin, bone, tendons, muscles, and cartilage. It also supports the internal organs and is even present in teeth. There are more than 25 types of collagens that naturally occur in the body. Collagen is one of the most plentiful proteins present in the bodies of mammals, including humans. In fact, it makes up about 25 percent of the total amount of proteins in the body. Some people refer to collagen.
How to replenish lost collagen?
Most people interested in maintaining youthful skin and reducing wrinkles have heard about collagen. Collagen is a protein (a biological polymer consisting of amino acids) that serves as a key structural component of connective tissue such as skin, bones, ligaments, etc. Dermis, the inner layer of the skin, contains large amounts of collagen whose fibers form a supporting mesh responsible for skin's mechanical characteristics such as strength, texture and resilience. (See our article on the biology of collagen.)As any material, collagen is subject to wear and tear: it slowly breaks down over time. Skin cells called fibroblasts are capable of producing collagen. When needed, fibroblasts replace broken collagen fibers with new ones. Unfortunately, as we age the skin's ability to replace damaged collagen diminishes and more gaps and irregularities develop in the collagen mesh. This process eventually leads to wrinkles. Thus, a comprehensive approach to wrinkle prevention and elimination involves reducing collagen breakdown and increasing its supply. This task is achievable but you have to go about it the right way.As far as collgen breakdown goes, many factors that contribute to it can be fully or partially neutralized. They include sun damage, free radicals, some age-related hormonal changes, and smoking. See other articles on this site and Skin Rejuvenation Infopack for further details.

WRINKLE

A wrinkle is a fold, ridge or crease in the skin. Skin wrinkles typically appear as a result of aging processes such as glycation or, temporarily, as the result of prolonged (more than a few minutes) immersion in water. Wrinkling in the skin is caused by habitual facial expressions, aging, sun damage, smoking, poor hydration, and various other factors.With prolonged water exposure, the outer layer of skin starts to absorb water. The skin doesn't expand evenly, causing it to wrinkle. Depletion of water in the body, as occurs with dehydration, can also cause this puckering of the skin. Cortisol causes degradation of skin collagen.
