Mengobati Jerawat dengan Cara Alami



JAKARTA – Jerawat merupakan jenis penyakit kulit yang biasa ditemukan di semua kalangan, terutama remaja. Penyebabnya antara lain faktor keturunan, ketidakseimbangan hormon, bakteri, tekanan psikologis, dan cuaca.
Umumnya jerawat muncul pada masa remaja, tapi tidak jarang orang dewasa yang mengalaminya. Bagi kaum perempuan jerawat bisa muncul apabila datang haid atau hamil dan bisa muncul di bagian tubuh mana saja, tidak hanya di wajah. Selain itu alergi terhadap obat tertentu juga dapat merangsang tumbuhnya jerawat.
Munculnya jerawat juga sering dikaitkan dengan konsumsi makanan tertentu seperti kacang-kacangan, cokelat, atau goreng-gorengan. Meski demikian belum ada hasil penelitian yang menguatkan dugaan ini.
Semua tipe jerawat —baik komedo, jerawat biasa, maupun jerawat batu— memang sangat mengganggu. Namun cara-cara berikut ini dapat dilakukan sendiri guna mencegah maupun mengobati jerawat. Bahan-bahan berasal dari sekitar kita dengan cara yang tidak sulit dan menyita waktu.

Cuci Muka
Kulit wajah yang berminyak atau wajah yang mempunyai kecenderungan muncul jerawat harus dibersihkan dua kali sehari. Sangat dianjurkan mencuci muka dengan pembersih yang PH-nya sedikit asam untuk menjaga kebersihan wajah yang berjerawat.
Air seduhan 7-10 lembar daun sirih (Piper betle) mujarab untuk mematikan bakteri yang menyebabkan jerawat sehingga dapat digunakan untuk mencuci muka sebanyak dua atau tiga kali sehari.
Menurut pengalaman beberapa orang, membasuh wajah dengan air es juga dapat mengurangi timbulnya jerawat. Hal ini dipercaya dapat mengurangi minyak pada wajah.
Belimbing wuluh (Averrhoa bilimbi), yang ditumbuk halus dan dicampur dengan sedikit air garam juga dapat digunakan untuk membersihkan wajah berjerawat. Menurut beberapa ahli kulit, belimbing wuluh bersifat sejuk, dan berkhasiat sebagai antiradang dan astrigen (memperkecil pori-pori kulit wajah).
Wajah berjerawat juga lebih segar jika diuapi dengan seduhan satu bungkus daun teh. Sebungkus kecil daun teh yang diseduh dengan air panas baru mendidih, lalu uapkan pada wajah yang berjerawat.

Masker
Sementara buah mengkudu dapat dimanfaatkan sebagai masker pemulus wajah. Masker mengkudu tidak hanya mengatasi jerawat, panu, kulit yang keriput dan kering pun hilang lenyap, otot-otot muka menjadi lebih relaks.
Jeruk nipis (Citrus aurantium) yang dioleskan pada wajah malam hari sebelum tidur dan baru dibersihkan pada pagi harinya, dapat digunakan untuk menghilangkan jerawat. Hal yang sama juga dapat dilakukan dengan buah tomat (Solanum lycopersicum).
Masker lain yang dapat digunakan mengatasi jerawat adalah masker temulawak (Curcuma xanthorizza). Kompres wajah dengan air es setelah menggunakan masker akan membantu meningkatkan hasilnya.
Daun dewa dan mahkota dewa juga berkhasiat sebagai obat jerawat. Tanaman lain yang dapat dimanfaatkan sebagai masker antijerawat adalah tumbukan pucuk daun jambu batu (Psidium guajava). Lidah buaya (Aloe vera) yang terkenal dapat menghaluskan kulit juga dapat digunakan sebagai masker penghilang jerawat.
Kentang (Potato solanum tuberosum) juga dapat dikompreskan pada jerawat. Potongan kentang yang diiris tipis-tipis ditempelkan pada kulit yang meradang karena jerawat hingga warna kentang keabu-abuan dan kering.
Sedangkan flek-flek hitam di wajah bekas jerawat dapat dihilangkan dengan masker jagung (Zea mays) muda atau bengkoang. Parutan jagung muda atau bengkoang dioleskan ke bagian-bagian yang hitam lalu diamkan sampai mengering.
Jerawat jenis komedo dapat dihilangkan dengan masker peel off dari gelatin buatan sendiri. Bahan-bahannya: satu sendok makan bubuk gelatin yang bisa dibeli di pasar swalayan, dua sendok makan susu cair dingin, dan satu butir putih telur. Susu cair dingin dan gelatin dicampur lalu dipanaskan, jaga jangan sampai menggumpal. Setelah leleh, dinginkan sampai hangat, lalu campurkan dengan putih telur. Oleskan adonan tadi ke wajah, kecuali seputar mata dan bibir. (nat)

JANICE HEALTH TIPS

Herbal Remedies for Diabetes Mellitus

by Gabriell Lateyf

I have scoured the ancient Ayurveda and folk writing of India to look for some herbal cures for mild cases of Diabetes Mellitus. It seems a shame to be on drugs for the whole of ones life, for any problem of the body. At times there may be no recourse but to be on insulin and drugs to control this problem. However there is no harm in trying these herbs. There are many positive cases and at times the patient’s response to these herbs is excellent. However not all humans respond in the same way. So experiment a bit, check your blood sugar levels regularly and try to keep a track of the benefits of these herbs as applicable to your body. If you can find a continuous positive response, you may, after consultation with your physician or doctor start to reduce your allopathic medicines.
Three very effective measures against Diabetes Mellitus are:
Light Daily Exercise: A brisk walk twice a day for a couple of Kilometers each time is very useful in control of blood sugar levels. This is a must for all patients of Diabetes.
Reduce Obesity: If you are overweight for your height and age, you need to reduce your weight. However for patients of diabetes, it is important to reduce the body weight slowly under doctor supervision. The benefits are immense.
Diet Control : Stop over eating and follow a doctors recommended diet strictly.

Some Herbs are found to be effective against Diabetes. I am giving their local name / Latin names and also the method by which the same have to prepared and ingested.

One well known and ancient remedy is Bitter Gourd. This vegetable is an effective cure against diabetes and has been used for time immemorial against this problem. However it may not be effective in all cases but is worth a try. Squeeze and crush the vegetable in a juicer or by hand to collect one ounce (approximately 6 – 7 tea spoons) in a glass. The juice will be very bitter. Drink this juice on empty stomach in the morning and also once in the evening. Try this therapy for at least 30 days to find improvement in blood sugar levels. This therapy is practiced in many households for effective control of diabetes and has been found to be curative also in some cases. So try it.

Fenugreek is also an effective curative herb for this problem. A tablespoonful of fenugreek leaf juice taken early in the morning for about three months has been found to cure early stages of Diabetes Mellitus. The powder of Fenugreek seeds is also effective in this condition. Crush the seeds in a blender and take 5 grams of this powder twice a day with curds to find positive results.

One teaspoon of cinnamon powder taken twice a day , morning and evening with water has also been found to be effective against Diabetes. This is an easy remedy so all patients of this problem , must try it for two to three weeks to find, if it is effective for them or not.

Some other common herbs found useful in treating Diabetes Mellitus are Jamun and its seeds, Gulair (Ficus Glomerata), Coriander seeds, Lettuce, Red rose flower & Fennel seeds. a mixture of the powders from these herbs taken twice a day , is also found to be effective for this problem.

There are a few herbal powders available in the market, which use a combination of two or more of the above herbs. They may be also tried for treatment of this disease. At times for some body types, they can be very effective.

In conclusion, diabetes patient needs to exercise regularly, cut down on white sugar, reduce weight if obese and try some natural herbs. A combination of the above treatment and lifestyle change can work wonders. Take your pick and experiment to find the best solution to your problem.

ABOUT GREEN TECHNOLOGY

Why is Finland Europe's technology leader? The prime minister explains

Although it's on the fringe of Europe geographically, Finland has for years been at the center of the continent's tech industry.

The country gave birth to cell phone leader Nokia and has emerged as a place where multinationals like to recruit and erect labs. The government and local entrepreneurs are now moving into clean technology.

It can be traced back to policies set up in the early 1980s, said Matti Vanhanen, the country's prime minister, during an interview with CNET News.com on Wednesday afternoon. The country saw the dawning of globalization and realized it would have to dig out a high-end niche in the industry.


"Because we cannot compete with Asian companies with low wages, our only possibility has been to stay a few steps forward," he said. "Of course, we also invested in education."

Funding for research and development has also consistently remained fairly high, he added.

"As a nation, around 3.5 percent of our gross domestic product goes into R&D. There are only two or three nations that spend that much," he said. The E.U. as a whole wants to raise the figure for member states to 3 percent.

"But we (the E.U.) are far away from that. Most members are at 2 percent, but Sweden and Finland are already there," Vanhanen added.

Roughly two-thirds of the R&D funds in Finland come from the private sector, but one-third comes from the government. "There is a good relationship between private and public funding, but it is not the state's role not to determine where the money should go. It has to be very market oriented," he said.

Vanhanen is traveling around the U.S. this week to promote Finland as a technology hub as well as highlight the issue of climate change. Earlier in the week he met with Vice President Dick Cheney and California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. Today, he's in Seattle with Bill Gates. Next, it's off to France to visit Nicolas Sarkozy. (The finance minister, meanwhile, was dispatched to China.)

Last year, the government set up an organization in Silicon Valley called FinNode to encourage cross-border cooperation. (It functions in a similar way to Japan's Jetro.)

An outspoken critic of nuclear power and proponent of energy conservation, Vanhanen outlined his views on climate change. In short, governments need to start acting.

"I'm a little pessimistic about what we can achieve in the short term, but the answer can't be that we can't do anything," he said. "If we don't do anything, it will be a disaster."

The next major milestone for the world lay in coming up with new emissions standards to follow the Kyoto Protocol. A summit to hammer out these issues will take place in Copenhagen toward the end of 2009.

Because of its northern location, Finland actually consumes more energy, per capita, than most other nations. As part of an effort to curb emissions, a law was passed a few months ago imposing carbon taxes on cars. Cars that get better mileage pay far lower taxes than high emission, lower mileage cars. The range of taxes goes from 10 percent of the car's value to 40 percent.

"Small cars now cost about $10,000 less than last year, and big passenger cars that pollute a lot can cost $50,000 more than last year," he said. "We will see in the next months what kind of changes in consumer behavior this causes."

Despite the pessimism of getting anything done in the short term, Vanhanen added that he's somewhat optimistic when it comes to technological breakthroughs.

"Twenty years ago, you couldn't imagine what we have now with information technology," he said.

EURO CUP 2008

ITALI BERBAHAGIA

Rabu, 18/06/2008 05:38 WIB
Pirlo Nyawa Italia
Kardhika Cipta Binangkit - detikSport


Reuters/Max RossiReuters/Max Rossi
Jakarta - Italia akhirnya lolos dari lubang jarum setelah mengandaskan Prancis 2-0. Jika ditanya kepada siapa pasukan Azzurri harus berterimakasih, jawabannya adalah Andrea Pirlo.

Pada pertandingan "hidup-mati" yang berlangsung pada Rabu (18/6/2008) dinihari WIB, usaha dan gelombang serangan yang dilakukan Italia tidak kunjung berhasil menembus gawang Prancis. Baru di menit ke-25, Pirlo sukses memecah kebuntuan dengan gol penaltinya.

Tendangan hukuman dijatuhkan wasit Luca Toni dilanggar Eric Abidal di kotak penalti. Pirlo dengan dingin menyarangkan bola ke kanan gawang Les Bleus yang dikawal Gregory Coupet.

Kemenangan Italia semakin pasti setelah Daniele De Rossi mencetak gol kedua dari tendangan bebas setelah sepakannya berbelok arah karena membentur tembok Prancis. 2-0 untuk Italia.

Namun peran Pirlo di pertandingan ini tidak hanya sebagai pembuka kemenangan Italia, tapi ia adalah nyawa bagi Azzurri. Ketenangannya di lapangan dan akurasi operan yang dimilikinya adalah kunci utama yang membuat permainan timnya lebih hidup.

Berposisi sebagai gelandang tengah, serangan-serangan Italia memang bermula dari Pirlo. Pemain berusia 29 tahun ini dengan sempurna menjalankan peran sebagai playmaker dan penyeimbang permainan Azzurri.

Tapi sebelum mantap berposisi sebagai pemain jangkar sekaligus playmaker, Pirlo malah berposisi sebagai gelandang menyerang. Adalah Carlo Ancelotti yang mengubah peran top skorer Piala Eropa Junior 2000 ini. Dan terbukti di posisi barunya, performanya malah semakin ciamik.

Mengawali karir di Brescia, performanya kemudian memikat klub besar, Inter Milan, untuk merekrutnya. Namun di klubnya Masimmo Moratti ini kemampuannya malah kurang berkembang. Pirlo hanya 22 kali tampil untuk Inter dan dipinjamkan ke Reggina dan klub lamanya Brescia.

Di tahun 2001, barulah AC Milan yang memanfaatkan bakat besar yang dimiliki Pirlo. Di klub barunya inilah pemain yang identik dengan nomor 21 ini menemukan performa terbaiknya. Total 30 gol ia catatkan dari 208 pertandingan.

Sementara di timnas Italia, Pirlo mengawali debutnya di tahun 2002. Namun yang paling sensasional adalah ketika ia membawa negaranya menjadi kampiun Piala Dunia 2006. Pirlo tidak hanya berperan sebagai penyeimbang, tapi juga menjadi roh permainan Italia. Ia memberi assist untuk Fabio Grosso saat Italia menekuk Jerman.

Di Euro 2008, Italia tidak bisa lepas dari pengoleksi tujuh gol dari 49 caps ini. Bila kehilangan Fabio Cannavaro bisa mulai digantikan, maka umpan-umpan akurat plus eksekusi bola-bola mati jitu Pirlo bisa jadi sulit dicari gantinya.

Sayangnya, Pirlo bakal absen saat Italia berjumpa Spanyol di perempatfinal nanti. Akumulasi kartu kuning membuatnya mendapat hukuman larangan tampil satu kali. Saat itulah, Italia akan mendapat ujian berat karena mereka tampil tanpa 'sang nyawa'.

Manfaat green tea

Green Tea Report

How do you fit a miracle in a cup?

Dating back more than 4,000 years, Chinese diet green tea has been long revered as a tasty drink that can ward off diseases and improve one’s well-being. Since its first recorded use during the time of Emperor Shen Nung, the link between Chinese diet green tea and good health has never been severed. It’s been used as treatment for everything from headaches to depression. Today, various health benefits of green tea are constantly being reported and many scientists are now focusing their attention on the simple, yet elegantly profound beverage that is green tea.

Where It Comes From

Like all three of the major Asian teas in the market, green tea comes from the plant called Carmellia sinensis. Much of the health benefits of green tea diets owe to the steaming method of making it. As opposed to black and oolong tea which undergoes full oxidization, green tea diet is only gently steamed, preserving the natural antioxidants in its original form.

The antioxidants in green tea helps fight away free radicals. These free radicals are the major contributing factors to aging as well as the ensuing degeneration of cells as a result of it. Scientists have reason to believe that free radicals also play a role in various degenerative diseases such as arthritis, rheumatism, Alzheimer’s disease, and even cancer.

A Drink Steeped With Tradition

According to tradition, Chinese diet green tea could cure anything from headaches, body aches, and pains to constipation and depression. Over the centuries, further more health claims are made on account of Chinese diet green tea.

Chinese diet green tea is said to increase the blood flow throughout the body. Because Chinese diet green tea contains a little caffeine, ingesting this drink stimulates the heart and allows the blood to flow more freely through the blood vessels. For the same reason that Chinese diet green tea stimulates blood flow, it also stimulates mental clarity.

Chinese diet green tea detoxifies the body. The presence of polyphenols, a naturally occurring antioxidant in Chinese diet green tea, the beverage is said to combat harmful free radicals and help keep the body free from diseases. In this regard, Chinese diet green tea helps maintain the overall well-being of the body. Antioxidants in Chinese diet green tea can boost immunity, preserve young-looking skin, and brighten the eyes.

Chinese diet green tea aids in digestion and banishes fatigue. Chinese diet green tea is also said to prolong the lifespan.

For many years, men of science remained skeptical about the health claims made by Chinese diet green tea enthusiasts. Their doubt was changed to a more positive reception when subsequent researchers proved the disease-preventing attributes of Chinese diet green tea and confirmed most of the health claims.

The Secret to Longevity?

That just might be.

The role of Chinese diet green tea in promoting longevity has been investigated upon by many researchers. They found the premise of their study on observing that Japanese women who are greater-than-average Chinese diet green tea drinkers; have lower mortality rates compared to others. This led the researchers to believe that Chinese diet green tea has “a protective factor against premature death.”

The polyphenols found in Chinese diet green tea may be held accountable. With its high amount of polyphenols, Chinese diet green tea seems to have a stimulating effect on the immune system. Stronger immune system as a result of drinking Chinese diet green tea helps reduce risks of acquiring any illnesses.
