Tea plant is native to Southeast Asia and has now grown in over 30 countries. Until now collected 3000 plant species, but the tea plant botanically derived from one crop to the results of cross-mating. Tea plant parts that can be used for beverages is its leaves.

Why is tea beneficial for health? Apparently there are some active ingredients in tea such as polyphenols (10-25%), and other organic components such as vitamin C (150-250 mg%), vitamin E (25-70 mg%), ß-carotene (13-20% ), caffeine (45-50 mg%), and fluorine (0.1 to 4.2 mg / L). While the aroma and distinctive taste in tea due to the content of volatile components. The content of polyphenols in tea act as antioxidants to prevent the growth of cancer cells in the body as well as proven ability to stop the growth of some bacteria that cause food poisoning. Other benefits of polyphenols is to reduce the accumulation of cholesterol in the blood and accelerate the removal of cholesterol through feces.Beberapa vitamins such as vitamin C and E can help to strengthen the immune system and maintain a healthy heart, whereas to meet the needs of vitamin A in the form of beta-carotene content. Fluorine elemental content is quite high in tea, in addition to assist in preventing the growth of caries in the teeth and strengthens the teeth, also to prevent osteoporosis or bone loss. The content of caffeine in tea for a reasonable usage can help refresh the body through its influence on the nervous system to stimulate the body's oxygen-making.
But behind it all was in the habit of drinking tea is not reasonable to have a bad effect also for health. The content of caffeine in tea can cause food absorption process to be blocked, but it has the effect of caffeine dependence and this result does not fit when the body becomes not consume them. In lactating mothers, breast milk caffeine affect the glands that hamper the smooth and the availability of milk, whereas in infants this substance can cause your baby's intestines into spasm. Mineral content in tea has a tendency to help the formation of kidney stones, it should be noted especially in patients with kidney.
How should we consume tea healthy? It is recommended to consume about 5 cups of tea beverage size of 200 ml per day. This amount has a limit of normal levels of caffeine that can be consumed that is equivalent to 750 mg / day. Try to make tea with water that is not too hot and you should not add sugar to prevent the destruction of substances that are contained and the loss of the benefits of tea. In a daily habit, avoid drinking tea on an empty stomach because it can increase stomach acid production and therefore contributes to the digestive.

In fact, taking the discipline to be the deciding factor in the healing process. Incomplete treatment can cause a variety of TB bacteria resistant to conventional drugs, including drug combinations.
In other words, is strictly prohibited TB patients actually tolerate the word bored, or even despair. That is why, for my friend, an encounter with gotu kola and fellow colleagues become highly significant. At least, he felt "alone" again facing tuberculosis. When many relatives and friends move away because of fear of contracting taulan, gotu kola and friends become the most loyal friend.
Most importantly, their price is cheap and does not make the bag tight, if consumed over long periods.
Inhibit & destroy gotu kola
Gotu kola or Centella asiatica was cool names of wild plants that exist in the lowlands, up to about 2500 m above sea level.
Empirically, commonly used as a tonic, anti-infective, antirematik, tranquilizers, accelerate wound healing, and diuretics. Various researches have been done to support the empirical benefits.
For example, referring to research that gotu kola as an antiinflammatory, antioxidant, antitumor, or to improve memory (central nervous system), eczema (a wound), and hepatitis. It relates to the compound owned by gotu kola, namely asiaticiside, thankuniside, medecassoside, brahmoside, brahminoside, madastic acid, vitamins B1, B2, and B6.
From various studies in vitro of gotu kola find its ability to destroy bacteria that cause infections, such as Staphylococcus aureus, Escherechia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella typhi, and the like. Meanwhile, in the form of infusion or extract of ethanol, these plants are believed to inhibit bacterial growth.

Meanwhile, Herbert D. and friends of the Tuberculosis Research Center in India to try the effect of gotu kola on tuberculosis H37Rv bacteria in vitro. The result, gotu kola does not directly affect the tuberculosis bacteria. However, Herbert recommends further research on active compounds asiaticoside.
Herbert Feeling vindicated. Based on advanced research, gotu kola compound turned out to be active against tuberculosis and Bacillus leprae Mycobakterium (Oliver-Bever, 1986). Later studies conducted Walter H. Lewis also said the kola including a group of plants that produce substances such as antibiotics and asiaticoside.

Timeless Black Seed (Nigella Sativa)
"With it (water) He produces for you corn, olives, date palms, and grapes and every kind of fruit: Verily in this is a sign for those who give thought "(Quran, S: 16 A: 11).Narrated Abu Huraira: I heard Allah's Apostle saying "There is healing in Black Cumin for all diseases except death ."
Muslims have been using and promoting the use of the "Black Seed" or "Al-habbat ul Sawda" for hundreds of years, and hundreds of articles have been written about it. Black seed has also been in use worldwide for over 3000 years. However, many Muslims do not realize that black seed is not only a prophetic herb, but it also holds a unique place in the medicine of the Prophet. Black seed is mentioned along with many other natural cures in the Hadith (sayings of the Prophet Mohammad [SAWS]) and in the Qur'an.
However, many herbs and natural cures in the Hadith and Qur'an are simply "mentioned" briefly, leaving the bulk of the descriptive narrative up to later Islamic scholars such as Ibn Sina or Ibn Rushd.
Black seed is one of the few that is said to "cure all diseases except death." It is unique in that it was not used profusely before the Prophet Mohammad [SAWS] made its use popular, and it is one of the few herbs that are described in great detail in the Hadith with recipes and instructions on usage actually being found in the Hadith themselves. Last, but not least, black seed has been studied by Muslims and non-Muslims alike.
Although there were more than 400 herbs in use before the Prophet Mohammad [SAWS] and recorded in the herbals of Galen and Hippocrates, black seed was not one of the most popular remedies of the time. Because of the way Islam has spread, the usage and popularity of black seed is widely known as a "remedy of the Prophet". In fact, a large part of this herbal preparation's popularity is based on the teachings of the Prophet. The Prophet not only mentioned the usefulness of black seed in his teachings, but also gave specific instructions on how to prepare the seed for medical use.
"The Prophet's Medicine" is a collection of Hadith that instruct Muslims on the subject of sickness or medical treatment. Because black seed is mentioned so prominently in these writings, all eminent and famous hakims of the past and present have written on the medicinal benefits and healing properties of "kulunji." In fact, since it was made popular in the Seventh Century, there has not been a period in Muslim history when the use of it was ever stopped. At all times the seed was utilized with the belief and faith that benefits will be derived from practicing the Holy Prophet's Sunnah (Hana, 2001).
The black seed (nigella sativa) is an example of a prophetic remedy that has been studied extensively. Nigella sativa has been used since antiquity by Asian herbalists and pharmacists, and was used by the Romans for culinary purposes. The name nigella comes from the Latin word nigellus, meaning black. Nigella sativa are small matte black grains with a rough surface and an oily white interior, similar to onion seeds. The seeds have little bouquet, though when rubbed, their aroma resembles oregano. They have a slightly bitter, peppery flavor and a crunchy texture. The seeds may be used whole or ground and are usually fried or roasted before use (they are easily crushed in a mortar).
However, although the seeds have been used for thousands of years in the kitchen, they have also been useful in the pharmacy. Ahmad Akhtar studied the effects of the black seed on nematoce worm infections in children (Akhtar, 1999). The black seeds contain over 100 valuable components. Black seed is also a significant source of fatty acids, proteins ,carbohydrates and other vitamins and minerals.
The seeds are rich in sterols, especially beta-sitosterol, which is known to have anti carcinogenic activity (Tierra). The seeds are also known to repel certain insects and can be used in the same way as mothballs.
Black seed is also used in India as a spice and condiment and occasionally in Europe as both a pepper substitute and a spice. It is widely used in Indian cuisine, particularly in mildly braised lamb dishes such as korma. It is also added to vegetables and dhal dishes as well as to chutneys. The seeds are sprinkled on naan (bread) before baking and to some Garam Masala and Panch Phoran mixtures.
The Indians also use black seed medicinally as a carminative and stimulant, and to treat indigestion and bowel complaints. It is also used to induce post uterine contractions and promote lactation.
However, despite the cure-all benefits of black seed it must still be used with wisdom and caution. "The seed yields a volatile oil containing melanthin, nigilline, damascene and tannin. Melanthin is toxic in large dosages and nigilline is paralytic, so the spice must be used in moderation (the epicentre).
What is Black Seed?
An annual herbaceous plant, Black Cumin Seed (botanical name is Nigella sativa L.), or Black Seed for short, is believed to be indigenous to the Mediterranean region but has been cultivated into other parts of the world including the Arabian peninsula, northern Africa and parts of Asia. The plant has no relation to the common kitchen herb, cumin.
Tiny and hairy, being no more than 3mm in length, black seed originates from the common fennel flower plant (Nigella sativa) of the buttercup (Ranunculaceae) family. Nigella sativa is sometimes mistakenly confused with the fennel herb plant (Foeniculum vulgare).
The plant has finely divided foliage and pale bluish purple or white flowers. The flowers grow terminally on its branches while the leaves grow opposite each other in pairs, on either side of the stem. Its lower leaves are small and petioled, and the upper leaves are long (6-10cm). The stalk of the plant reaches a height of twelve to eighteen inches as its fruit, the black seed, matures.
Nigella sativa is bisexual and forms a fruit capsule which consists of many white trigonal seeds. Once the fruit capsule has matured, it opens up and the seeds contained within are exposed to the air, becoming black in color (black seeds).
Nigella sativa and its black seed are known by other names, varying between places. Some call it Black caraway, "Habbat al barakah", and "Habbat sawda", others call it black cumin (kalounji), onion seeds or even coriander seeds. In English, the Nigella sativa plant is commonly referred to as "Black Cumin".
Nevertheless, this is Nigella sativa, which has been known and used from ancient times and is also known in Persian as Shonaiz.
