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.
