Medicinal plants

Actually medicinal plants is not something new in the medical world. In fact we had basically agreed that the plant has a high nutrition. Fruits, Vegetables, shown to have efficacy on our health. Aside from being a source of plant nutrients also known as a provider of oxygen on earth




Medicinal plants are plants that contain substances believed to cure diseases. This plant is well known in the medical world. In addition to being easy to obtain, nor does it have side effects with notes in proportion while taking it. Besides medicinal plants has long been used as the main ingredient manufacture of medicinal herbal / herb ( jamu: indonesian). Now some large companies utilize medicinal plants as the main ingredient manufacture of drugs and cosmetics.

Some plants including medicinal plants are Turmeric, ginger, cat's whiskers, rosella, lenkuas, guava, lemon, brotowali and others. But that does not mean other plants not including medicinal plants. In fact all plants, including plants that could have potential as a medicinal plant.

Now of course you can choose. Do keep an instantaneous chemical drugs or medicinal plants provided by nature. Medicinal chemistry is always close to the paradigm heal quickly. It should be remembered Excessive use of chemical drugs or continuously have fatal side effects.

Giving orders in children


All parents would want their children to be a submissive. No exception with you of course. Was used when a child has the instinct to act in accordance with the will of his own. But sometimes what they want to do is something we did not expect. For example, because we know that what will be done it will harm him. Of course we as parents can only forbid that he should not do things that will make him regret it in the end.

However, a child will have a tendency to fight. Perhaps this is because due to the child's self-esteem to feel humiliated or feel like to try / discover new ones. What is clear is the child will implement what we forbid . For example, what happened between me and my students.

On that day there was a meeting between the teacher and parents.Students are deliberately not closed, for whatever reason, by the school principal. However, the principal gave me the order, do not let the kids fuss. At that time I said, "Do not noisy!" Which makes me surprised is they say "YES WE WOULDN'T NOISY" with a very loud voice. Occasionally they will obey. However, adherence temporary. 


In the end I found a method that is quite effective. Give them a "command", not "ban". Yes. They will be very proud to do what we tell it. Especially if you are good at praising. But "beware" lest he become a spoiled child because of your praise.

Quality sleep

Rest is one of the basic human needs. Rest can be idle while to calm down and mind, or entertain ourselves. However the best rest  for your body is get sleep enough. During sleep the body's hormones work optimally repair damaged cells. Besides the mind becomes calm.




If you lack sleep, it would be quite an effect on your health and stamina.  Even lack of sleep can lead to reduced power of concentration, endurance to affect your life. It is therefore important for you to have a good sleep.

American Cancer society has been doing research on American citizens between the ages of 30-60 years. Research shows that people who have time to sleep 8 hours a day have a 12% risk of dying sooner, the risk increased to 17% in people who sleep less than 7 hours. Increasing the risk again if you sleep more than 9 hours which is about 34%.

Lack of sleep may increase the risk of early death, but excess sleep can also lead to premature aging and even the researchers stated that excess sleep can cause immune to viruses and tumors reduced.

Recommended that you sleep well according to your feelings. If you are sleeping 5/6 hours is quite refreshing then that would be enough, since sleep each person differently according to age. 


Good sleep is a deep sleep or mutilated since that time the hormones work optimally. Other than that you should not sleep in a state of satiety or hunger

Tofu

You must already be familiar with traditional foods this one. Although today many fast food restaurant, but the food is never out of date. Even the food is becoming increasingly global.

Be careful with your words on your baby

The tongue is not reinforced. Therefore, many people are easy to say what was on his mind. In fact many people say "talk is  easy". Yes, talk is easy for even a quiet person.  

It's easy for us to express our feelings with the tongue. Even a shy when he was crushed by misfortune, might say (sorry) "damn" is easier than saying Oh God. 



But do we really could not keep our oral? Sure you can.

I once watched a show on television. A master magician or rather master hypnotist Tommy Rafael explained "be careful with your mind !" . So what the connection between the words with the  mind? Of course we all can answer. That 90% of the minds will be expressed verbally. But is there a connection with the listener's mind ?


 A listener will certainly ponder every word they hear. Even if you frequently mocked for example (sorry again) "crazy or stupid" inevitably your brain will spontaneously digest these words. It is therefore important for you always to suggestions yourself with good thoughts or indifferent to the words of people.

But what if you are the the detractors or rather say a bad thing? 
Of course if you do not want your dear kids to hear it.



There was a mother who always said "good boy" or "smart" to her son since his son was still a baby. And finally the child be a good boy because his mind is always filled with good things.
